At the Cricket World Cup in india. Good evening from jerusalem, on a night where the israeli goverment has ordered a � complete seige� of the gaza strip and started to amass tanks on its border. It follows the attack by hamas militants, which has so far claimed more than 800 israeli lives many of them, ordinary citizens. Israel has cut electricity, food, fuel and Water Supplies to gaza, it says it has hit 2,400 hamas targets. The Palestinian Health authority says so far, 560 people have been killed and nearly 3,000 wounded. Thousands of palestinians are now fleeing for their lives, but safety is hard to find. And hamas continues to fire rockets into israel. In tonights programme, we will be reporting from jerusalem, 0n the latest military responses. We will also be in re� im, the city close to the gaza border where artillery and vehicles have started to amass ahead of a potential ground operation. We will also be in ashkelon. And well look at the situation for the more than 100 israelis kidnapped in the attacks most of whom have been taken into gaza. Our first report tonight comes from jonathan beale, in ashkelon, on israels response. And we should warn you that you may find some of the images in his report distressing. Israels Military Operation to eliminate the threat inside its own territory still isnt over. This afternoon, near the border with gaza, more israeli troops are being sent in to clear out pockets of hamas fighters. Their Surprise Attack that shattered any image of israels invincibility. Up any image of israels invincibility. Up to 8,000 Palestinian Militants broke through the fences and barriers supposed to contain them. On this road, evidence that many have now been killed. But three days on and some are still fighting. This road is littered with the bodies of hamas fighters and burnt out, smashed up vehicles like this that they were using when they infiltrated across the border. You can hear gunfire still going on here. They are still clearing the area, the israeli forces, smoke in the distance, Apache Helicopters overhead. This clear up operation is still not over. The Military Block access to no go areas. And still, regularly coming under attack. By mortar and rocket fire. Checkpoints turning back vehicles. And anxious locals still shocked by what has happened.

What it does next will have an impact way beyond gazas border. Jonathan beale, bbc news, southern israel. 0n social media, there have been images of partygoers desperately trying to flee the site of a Music Festival which was taking place close to the gaza strip as gunmen entered the area to take people hostage. Gunfire rang out near the kibbutz reim. Yolande knell has the latest. The israeli Dance Festival that turned into the site of a massacre. As many as 260 people were killed here, in the fields by gaza. Others were taken. This footage shows a hamas gunman who appears to be leading away a hostage. Palestinian militants say theyve seized 100 soldiers and civilians. For ido dan, the horror� s been playing out on his familys whatsapp group. His relatives live next to gaza and, on saturday, his cousin hadas hid from hamas fighters in her home. She sent me this heart and she say that. Im not sure were going to survive this. Hadas did survive, but five members of the family are now missing, including her 80 year old mother, her niece, two of her children and their father. This video appears to show erez, who is 12, being snatched. Ido pleads for their release. Just get him out of this confrontation. Its not for kids, its not for older people. I dont think there is any war ethics that were not violated here. Even war has rules and ethics and limits. Israels military plans in gaza are complicated by the presence of so many hostages. Already, hamas says some have been killed in the intense air strikes. Mediators are trying to negotiate with both sides over those held captive, but with every hour that passes, their families fears are growing. Yolande knell, bbc news, tel aviv. As you heard on our headlines tonight, because it is now under a complete israeli siege. The gaza strip, described as one of the most densely populated places on earth, home to some 2. 3 million palestinians, the majority of whom need International Aid just to survive. Hamas rules gaza, but israel is in control of the airspace, the sea and it controls most of the land crossings. So how hard is it going to be, how dangerous for israel to try to get its citizens back . Israel has rescued its citizens before, but not at a time like this. Four hostages are already reported to be dead, killed in last nights wave of israeli air strikes in gaza. Their captors reportedly killed, too. More than 130 hostages await their fate. Too. More than 130 hostages await theirfate. All of too. More than 130 hostages await their fate. All of them were seized on saturday, after hamas penetrated what was supposed to be an impenetrable border. Seized at gunpoint from places like kibbutz reim, ashkelon, the site of a Music Festival. 0fakim, a city next door, dragged back to the gaza strip, one of the most densely populated places on earth. More than 2 million palestinians squeezed into this coastal enclave on the mediterranean. Run by hamas, which controls this land. And another armed group, islamicjihad. The hostages are in their hands, separated to commit in secret locations, hard to find, dangerous to extract. Separated and in secret. Israel has imposed a complete siege on gaza, cutting electricity, water, food, fuel, medicine will soon be scarce. For the people of gaza, life is always hard. They call it the worlds biggest open air prison. Israel pulled its troops from here in 2005. They still control the sea, the airspace, most of the land crossings. But rescuing its own people is fraught with risk. This israeli soldier was held hostage for five years by hamas. 0nly exchanged in 2011 for more than 1,000 prisoners. Todays Hostage Crisis is a war within a war. Reporting from inside gaza is incredibly dangerous. This is our team trying to report from there over the weekend. Series of explosions 0ur reporter there is rushdi abualouf. A short time ago, he told us it is not safe for him to broadcast live from there tonight so he sent us this report. As you can see in the background, an israeli airstrike just hit this area. We had to move from our office. This is a residential building where i live, its a very densely populated area. On my way here, i saw many families are leaving this city centre to this side of the city. Its on the Southern Side of the city. But since then, we had about five or six air strikes. I think gaza has never seen this scale and intensity of israeli air strikes ever. I have been covering many wars between hamas and israel, but this time and this day, especially i think its the biggest ever israeli air strike that targeted gaza. Many places have been targeted, many places have been hit, including a mosque. The most significant air strike today targeted a market in the middle ofjabalia refugee camp. Jabalia camp is the biggest camp in gaza, where 120,000 people, they live there. The Health Minister has said over a0 people died, most of them came to, there is a small market near a house that has been hit by the israeli air strikes. People were shooting in this area this morning and an air strike destroyed the house, injuring as many as 100 people and a0 people died in this area. Isarel has spent the day trying to regain control of parts of the south of the country. Much of the activity has centred around ashkelon, close to the border with the gaza strip. Anna foster has sent this report. There is no feedback. I have lost coms. Air raid siren. Series of explosions. Theres a huge barrage going on overhead just at the moment. We have taken cover. This is. Its actually a memorial building. You can see were all here. Theres nick, hes got our camera. Yeah, were going to move. Get down, get down. When the sirens started, i was talking to gilad. Hed been at the Music Festival where more than 250 people were massacred, as hamas launched its attack on saturday morning. Shrapnel tore past his head. He was lucky to survive. The bullet went through here and to out here. So it went in. Yeah, you can see it went in and out. Yes. Explosions. People living here know these moments of fear well. Gilad and his mother didnt need words. We followed the smoke. We think this is where one of the missiles hit. Ah. Yeah, look, here in the ground. Avi and anat� s building doesnt have a bomb shelter, so the family hid in a stairwell. They told the children the explosions were thunder. We need to be strong for them, avi told me, but whos going to take care of us . Anna foster, bbc news, ashkelon. We apologise for that technical glitch. Im going to hand you back to london for the rest of the days news. Thank you. We will hear more at the end of the programme. Well hear more from lyse at the end of the programme. Here in the uk, more than 10 britons are feared dead or missing. During the funeral of 20 year old Nathanel Young who had gone to israel, serving with the Israeli Defense forces. Mourners were forced to dive for cover as an Air Raid Siren sounded, warning of an imminent rocket attack. More than 50,000 to 60,000 british nationals are believed to be in israel or gaza. The Prime Minister has held a cobra meeting to discuss the escalating violence. More from our special correspondent, lucy manning. Singing. Hundreds of People Injerusalem answered the call to attend Nathanel Youngs funeral. The 20 year old from london killed by hamas while serving in the israeli army. For the last 20 years, i watched nathanel grow up from a cheeky little boy to strong, brave national hereo. As his sister spoke. Air raid sirens. The sirens wailed, warning of a possible attack. Their grief now turning to fear. The feeling from one, they are trying to kill us even as we bury our dead. The family of glasgow born Bernard Cowan wrote on social media that he was murdered by hamas terrorists. They described him as the kindest, most generous person. Dan darlington, a british photographer, is missing. His relatives fear he has been killed. Jake marlowe is also missing a Security Guard at the Outdoor Party where hundreds of young people were murdered. He went to the same Londonjewish School as nathanael young. This is my mums neighbours house where they go in and you see a babys trolley. They come in, take the windows. In north west london, noam sagi has seen the videos of the hamas attack at his mums home. He thinks shes been kidnapped to gaza. She was supposed to be here in london next week to celebrate her 75th birthday with us. We didnt cancel all the plans because we still have hopes, but. How do you think your mum will be coping in this situation . She will find a way to to calm herself down and to think positively. I think she will imagine her grandchildren and will do everything to see them again. Chanting. 0utside Downing Street tonight, britishjews and israelis gathered. Almost everyone here has relatives or friends affected. Scared, helpless and anxious the trauma is a collective one. Lucy manning, bbc news. In other news here, The Shadow Chancellor, Rachel Reeves has pledged to Rebuild Britain should labour win the next general election. Addressing the partys conference in liverpool, she said there would be Iron Discipline in the her approach to public finances, but also promised reforms to the Planning System and an inquiry into the cost of hs2. Heres our political editor, chris mason. Im sorry theres no. More space in there. The hall was so packed for Rachel Reeves speech, there was a splash of grumpiness among those who were shut out. For them the only option, to watch on the tv as The Shadow Chancellor claimed labour were now the party to trust with the economy. Out of the wreckage of tory misrule, labour will restore our economic credibility. She said labour would speed up the time it takes to get big building programmes of National Importance like Battery Factories up and running. There would be an inquiry into the cost of the hs2 rail line. And theyd take a look at the books of every Big Government project. I will not tolerate taxpayers money being treated with the disrespect we have seen over recent years. I will not turn a blind eye to dither, delay and incompetence. Throughout this speech, repeated claims shed be super careful with taxpayers money. We will go after those who profited from the carnival of waste during the pandemic. One of the biggest rounds of applause here came for her plan to appoint a covid corruption commissioner, in an attempt to recoup the £7 billion lost to pandemic related fraud. That money belongs in our nhs, it belongs in our police, it belongs in our schools and let me tell you, we want that money back. The crucial thing today underlines is what Rachel Reeves said as she concluded labour reckon the economy, so often seen by many as a weakness for them, is now a strength. We are here ready to serve, ready to lead and together we can and we will Rebuild Britain. It is your endorsement she craves, but there was one that will mean a lot to her too. Remember this guy, the former Bank Of England governor, the mark carney . Mark carney . Its beyond time to put her ideas and energy into action. But, remember the challenges any government will face reviving the economy are huge. We are in a period where there is still sluggish growth in the uk economy and inflation is still really high. Does labour look like a a government in waiting to businesses . Theres still a lot of detail i think that needs to be built out around that, but i think we saw a lot of credible policies set out today. And tomorrow here the main event, the speech from the labour leader, ke
