Difficult and these are times where i break, and i dont want to break right now because i want to keep pushing for the release of my mum and the release of my brother. Were faced with an explosive powder keg situation. The Imposition Of Sieges that endanger the lives of civilians by depriving them of Goods Essential for their survival is prohibited under International Humanitarian law. Good evening. Israelis and palestinians in gaza are spending a fourth night being bombarded by rockets and missiles as Israeli Defence forces and hamas militants continue fighting. Tonight, new details have emerged of a massacre in one Israeli Community near gaza, where a general says children and mothers were murdered in their homes. Well have the latest global reaction, including from President Biden, whos promised full us support for israel in its war with hamas, and described the attacks by hamas militants as An Act Of Sheer Evil. And as usual reaction from our panel. Floridas 18th Lieutenant GovernorJennifer Carroll. And joining us from the Labour Party Conference in liverpool, the former leader of the scottish labour party, jim murphy. Israel is continuing its intense campaign ofairstrikes on gaza as fighting rages into a fourth night. These are the latest pictures from gaza rockets exploded over gaza city and israels Southern City of ashkelon, as both sides continue their aerial bombardment. Palestinian Officials Say more than 830 people have been killed by the strikes. This is gaza earlier today. Un aid agencies have warned of the severe consequences of israels siege on the territory. And the scale of the massacre of israeli civilians by hamas gunmen in Southern Israel has been revealed. The Israeli Army Says entire families were killed in their homes, with children among the dead. Jeremy bowen gave us the latest on those claims from the israeli army. Well, it seems pretty clear that there was a massacre because as i said in the piece, the army didnt get in there, the israeli army didnt even start trying to regain the area for 12 hours after hamas got in there. So basically they were able to rampage around. The Senior Officers there told me that the kibbutz civilian guard, which was composed of people with military experience, that they fought, they tried to fight back, but there werent many of them. And they got killed and their bodies are among those being recovered today. Outside, as you saw in the piece, there was a woman who was under a purple sleeping bag. One of the soldiers said to me that an officer said to me that shed been beheaded. I have to say i did not move the covering to see if he was telling the truth, but she was undoubtedly killed in the front garden of her own house. So i think the word massacre is appropriate to what happened there. But what struck me in kfar aza was that it really does sum up all the reasons why israelis are so shocked, traumatised, why theyre so angry, why they want not just revenge, but the government wants to change the strategic equation in gaza so hamas cant do anything like this again. But this is the middle east. Its a volatile area and the way ahead is not smooth for anybody. As israelis mourn gaza is also reeling from relentless missile attacks. The United Nations has told israel that its siege of the territory is illegal with food, water and power all cut off. The bbc has a rare insight into the gaza strip through our correspondent, rushdi abu alouf. Hes lived there his entire life and has reported on the conflict for decades. As im sure you will understand the situation there is extremely dangerous so much so that its not possible for him to report live for us this evening but he has sent us this update from gaza. We can see the scale of destruction in this neighbourhood. Its called rimal neighbourhood. Its an economic hub for gaza that has been completely targeted yesterday. Many buildings were destroyed, behind Me An Ii Storey Building was knocked down two days ago but the destruction in this area has been targeted last night. Israel has carried out 200 air strikes targeting hamas infrastructure. They hit many buildings, government buildings belonging to the hamas run authority. But look at the scale of destruction in the area and how civilian homes were completely affected and some of them were completely destroyed. This gentleman just told us we have to leave the area because it seems the israelis are warning residents of the area they should leave, they are going to target another building in the area. But look at the scale of destruction. This is happening, with israelis targeting housing, shops, ministries and mosques, everything. The whole neighbourhood was levelled to zero. This is one of the most important economic hubs for gaza. As you can see, most of the shops were damaged, houses were damaged, the infrastructure, the street. This is the street that leads to the southern part of the city and it is completely blocked. Rushdi abualouf with that update. To discuss this all further im joined now by. Lets start with the jennifer it lets start with thejennifer it is been a difficult four days to process. What are your thoughts on how things will be Going Forward ever once anticipating when israel may have a land incursion. It is absolutely may have a land incursion. It is absolutely horrific may have a land incursion. It 3 absolutely horrific and everything the commentators have stated before is Heart Wrenching to know that an attack like this in the 21st century is occurring. Where do we go from here . America and the allies of israel have to step up. They must step up and step up quickly and fiercely. Because hamas, the iranian regime, the pistil liens palestinians have been involved in and picked the perfect time in understanding the weaknesses in the iron dome that have worked for israel for so long that with the barrage of missiles attack and all simultaneously is going to begin its defences. They have found that out, whether it was the equipment left in afghanistan or whether it was technology that was shared by the chinese and whether it was the monies that have been relieved for them to have access from the iranians to provide this intel and technology so that they can attack israel. But now is a time for no more talking. That israel and its allies must act quickly to let hamas and the iranians and palestinians that the sort of massacre is not going to be tolerated at all across the world. Jim going to be tolerated at all across the world. , ~ , going to be tolerated at all across the world. ~ , � , the world. Jim murphy lets bring ou win. The world. Jim murphy lets bring you win he the world. Jim murphy lets bring you win. He sought the world. Jim murphy lets bring you win. He sought the the world. Jim murphy lets bring you win. He sought the death the world. Jim murphy lets bring| you win. He sought the death toll rises on both sides. We saw more is really, the number of israelis who have been killed, the death toll has gone up and indeed the scene with palestinians in gaza.

So i think what i would say is, one another. So i think what i would say is, this one another. So i think what i would say is, this is one another. So i think what i would say is, this is the first time i have say is, this is the first time i have spoken about this and i think for your have spoken about this and i think for your viewers who are understandably shocked by the images. Understandably shocked by the images, it is important to recap why this has images, it is important to recap why this has happened without ever explaining it. It is happening because explaining it. It is happening because hamas, a terrorist organisation are terrified that Israei Organisation are terrified that israel and saudi arabia are set to sin israel and saudi arabia are set to sign a israel and saudi arabia are set to sign a normalisation agreement. And that unsettles iran who of course are the that unsettles iran who of course are the funders and enablers of hamas are the funders and enablers of hamas. The worry was that that arrangement between israel and saudi arabia arrangement between israel and saudi arabia would begin iran and what they wanted was to make it impossible for saudi arabia to sign a deal impossible for saudi arabia to sign a deal with impossible for saudi arabia to sign a deal with israel therefore tragically what hamas needs and what hamas tragically what hamas needs and what hamas expects is significant casualties in gaza to make it more difficult casualties in gaza to make it more difficult for casualties in gaza to make it more difficult for the saudis to sign an agreement with israel. We difficult for the saudis to sign an agreement with israel. Agreement with israel. We will discuss that agreement with israel. We will discuss that and agreement with israel. We will discuss that and the agreement with israel. We will discuss that and the Wider Agreement with israel. We will discuss that and the wider regional impacts of that later in the programme, but for the moment thank you very much to our panel. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news across the uk. The International Monetary found says the uk faces another five years of high Interest Rates to stem rising prices. The organisation expects the uk to have the highest inflation and slowest growth next year of any g7 economy, including the us, france, germany, canada, italy and japan. Holly willoughby has told itv she will not return to this morning, adding it had been an honour to just be part of its story, but that she had to make this decision for her and her family. A 36 year old man was last week charged over an alleged plot to kidnap and murder willoughby. She had presented the programme for ia years. The home office says its begun notifying Asylum Seekers they will be sent back to a migrant barge off englands south coast, after the vessel completed all necessary tests. 39 men were moved on to the vessel in august, but they were removed when the Legionella Bacteria was found onboard. Youre live with bbc news. Weve seen more reaction today from world leaders. Un human rights Chief Volker Turk condemned what he called Horrifying Mass Killings by members of Palestinian Armed groups, and israels Imposition Of Sieges that endanger the lives of civilians. He added that both were against international law. And President Biden has been speaking to the american people. He confirmed americans are among the dead and those being held hostage by hamas. He also called the attacks from hamas An Act Of Sheer Evil and that the us is ready to send additional assets to israel to give it any support needed to respond to hamas. Brutality of hamas and its bloodthirstiness brings to mind the worst, the worst rampages of isis. This is terrorism. But sadly for the jewish people, its not new. This attack is brought to the surface, painful memories and the scars left by millennia of anti semitism and genocide of the jewish people. So in this moment, we must be crystal clear. We stand with israel. And we will make sure that it has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself and respond to this attack. Theres no justification for terrorism. Theres no excuse. Hamas does not stand for the palestinians peoples right to dignity and self determination. The stated purpose is the annihilation of the state of israel and the murder ofjewish people. They use Palestinian Civilians as human shields. Hamas offers nothing but terror and bloodshed with no regard to who pays the price. The loss of innocent life is heartbreaking. Like every nation in the world, israel has the right to respond, indeed has a duty to respond to these vicious attacks. Us President Joe Biden there. And here in the uk, david lammy, a labour mp and a Shadow Foreign Secretary has been speaking at the Labour Friends Of Palestine event in liverpool. Have a listen. I think of the children of gaza, facing the reality of war in a place that was already bereft of hope. Organisations and Medical Aid For Palestinians are doing essential and life saving work to support people on the ground. I pay tribute to your staff working in the most difficult of conditions to help save lives. I agree with president macron when he said, we must not confuse the fight against terrorism with the most elementary humanitarian right support for civilian populations. There needs to be humanitarian access and supplies to gaza. We must distinguish between hamas and the palestinian people. Because failing to do so would only embolden terrorists and punish the wrong people. As i said on the conference floor yesterday, there will not be a just and lasting peace until israel is secure, palestine is a sovereign state and both israelis and palestinians enjoy security, dignity and human rights. Lets go back to our panel. Jennifer carroll who is a republican and Lieutenant Governor in florida and the former leader of the Scottish Labour Partyjim Murphy who is at the Labour Party Conference in liverpool at the moment. Jennifer lets bring you in on those comments from david lammy. There is a real concern that as the conflict drags on, more civilians will be caught up in it. He wasjust on, more civilians will be caught up in it. He was just saying there that people need to distinguish between hamas and the palestinian people. He is urging israel to ensure that humanitarian aid to does get through to people who need it in gaza. What you make of that . He to people who need it in gaza. What you make of that . You make of that . He is right on all fronts. You make of that . He is right on all fronts here you make of that . He is right on all fronts. Here is you make of that . He is right on all fronts. Here is the you make of that . He is right on all fronts. Here is the problem. You make of that . He is right on all fronts. Here is the problem. We you make of that . He is right on all. Fronts. Here is the problem. We have seen hamas as well as hezbollah get right into the mix of women and children in the civilian population and act as murder so they have been disguised in an area where it was attacked martyr. Disguised in an area where it was attacked martyr. Attacked martyr. Surely aid it needs to get attacked martyr. Surely aid it needs to get to attacked martyr. Surely aid it needs to get to people attacked martyr. Surely aid it. Needs to get to people regardless. Most definitely and that is why it is so critical for the allies of israel to get on the ground to assist in this both humanitarian effort as full as the War Fighting Effort as full as the War Fighting Effort because many people as we saw folks who went to that concert that were abducted, murdered, that people who were murdered right in their homes, barbaric way, that we need to make sure that the security is in place to stop that and also ensure that the people that are civilians that the people that are civilians that have nothing to do with this attack on both sides, but the palesti
