Three hours of breaking stories, and checking out the truth behind them. Israel has ruled out allowing basic resources or humanitarian aid into gaza until hamas releases the hostages it abducted during the weekend attack. At least 1,300 israelis were killed in the assault, and at least 150 people are thought to have been kidnapped. Israels total blockade of gaza means food and clean water are running out, the Mains Electricity is cut, and raw sewage is building up in the streets. Gazas Health Ministry say israels Sustained Bombardment has now killed more than 1,400 people nearly a third of them children. The red cross says the blockade risks turning gazas hospitals into mortuaries, warning fuel for generators could run out on thursday. But Israels Energy minister has insisted no electricity, fuel or Water Supplies will be turned on until the hostages are home. The us Secretary Of State has assured israel of washingtons unwavering support, and warned its adversaries against taking advantage of the situation. Speaking after talks in tel aviv with the Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, Antony Blinken said israel had the right to defend itself, but stressed precautions must be taken to avoid harming civilians of any nationality. 0ur chief International Correspondent lyse doucet is in sderot, in Southern Israel, and gave us this update. The son is now setting angers six of this war and all the signs are that this war and all the signs are that this war and all the signs are that this war is sent to get worse, much worse. Where we are now stood out at this point is less than a mile from the gaza border. And on the horizon can he see the black smoke rising, thatis can he see the black smoke rising, that is gaza city. Now under nonstop bombardment, and at this moment, gazans are braced for the night to come. Many now saying they hate the night, a time of intense Aerial Bombardment that they have never Seenin Bombardment that they have never seen in their lives. Here on this side throughout the day, there has been the constant crack of israeli Artillery Firing into gaza. We have also heard that deafening blast of the Air Defence System israel uses, the Air Defence System israel uses, the iron dome, to intercept missiles fired by hamas. And two in this part of community and all along the places that we visited in Southern Israel along the gaza border, you see the preparations. Today, it was the endless stream of big loris, white, unmarked, carrying provisions no doubt for the front where troops are massing, artillery and armour for what is expected to be a Land Invasion at some point. The Military Piece is getting into place. Today, the diplomacy was a focus, with the arrival of the us Secretary Of State with two messages from washington that israel will have the support of the United States. But that it must also remember that even in war, there are rules. And that humanitarian concern is also deepening as the humanitarian crisis in gaza gets ever worse, that complete siege that israel has imposed on the territory, targeting civilians at a time of war is a war crime, and the United States, all of israels allies who are making it clear who stand by israel at this time, this unprecedented time for thejewish state, but time, this unprecedented time for the jewish state, but they also dont want israel to come under criticism for putting civilians in harms way, but quite frankly, the mood here has hardened so much after the horrific events which began on saturday. There are many here, in fact, the majer told us, the reason why it hasnt worked in the past is because western leaders have called the Prime Minister after one week of an operation or two and said to stop. He said it reflects the public mood here and possibly the political mood here and possibly the political mood this time we shouldnt stop. We have to destroy hamas and jihad. There are others who say that it just wont work. You have to find a political way out when this war is over. � you some breaking news and moving away from the israel gaza situation just for a moment because essex police have said they havent got any more information at this time on reports that the raf have intercepted a Kenya Airways boeing 787 on route from nairobi to london heathrow. They said the plane is on the ground after landing at stans dad but they didnt say if theres any ongoing threat or if passengers are still on board. Of course we will update you as soon as we get more on that with regards to the Security Situation and in particular that of the Jewish Community Security Situation and in particular that of theJewish Community here in the uk, the Prime Minister, rishi sunak, hasjust the uk, the Prime Minister, rishi sunak, has Just Announced the uk, the Prime Minister, rishi sunak, hasJust Announced £3 million to protect schools, synagogues and otherJewish Community buildings in response to those hamas attacks in israel. Imjoined now response to those hamas attacks in israel. Im joined now by the Deputy Ambassador to the uk, welcome to you and thank you very much for being with us. I want to talk about the situation in gaza, not that long ago, we had an update from the gaza Health Ministry saying that 1417 people have been killed in these Rocket Attacks by israel since saturday. 447 of those are children. Israel has made it clear it is at war with hamas, but its more than hamas fighters were being killed, many innocent people. What you say that that is a price worth paying . Thank you for having me here. I think by now, everyone knows that on saturday, hamas opened an unprecedented war against the state of israel. But what is being uncovered our days and hours going by are the atrocities that hamas have been committing, atrocities that we havent seen him even coming from isis and talking about Hamas Terrorists going street by street in our villages, terrorists going street by street in ourvillages, House Terrorists Going Street by street in our villages, house by house, murdering entire families, shooting down babies, raping girls, burning people alive, beheading people. So this is, you know, its important, we wont start the story from the middle. We didnt want this war, but this is the kind of Terrorist Organisation that we are dealing with. This is isis on steroids and we are trying to protect our families. We are trying to protect our families we are trying to protect our families. ,. ,. , families. No one can doubt the horrific nature families. No one can doubt the horrific nature of families. No one can doubt the horrific nature of those families. No one can doubt the i horrific nature of those monstrous attacks on saturday in israel with many innocent people killed, but do you accept that many innocent palestinians in gaza are now being killed in response in israels response to these attacks . Many who are innocent and have nothing to do with hamas . I are innocent and have nothing to do with hamas . Are innocent and have nothing to do with hamas . I want to be very clear. The situation with hamas . I want to be very clear. The situation is with hamas . I want to be very clear. The situation is hard. With hamas . I want to be very clear. The situation is hard.

I went to ask you, what would you do if you had a terrorist in your living room, this is not a theory, this is israels reality this week, and if i may, iwant this is israels reality this week, and if i may, i want to ask the bbc, why cant you call this a terrorist . They are burning people alive and raping girls and then killing them and beheading people, calling them terrorists, how many more girls do you want or need to see being raped and being burned before you call this atrocity for what it is. Is it because israel is involved . We are dealing with technology that is different . Why cant we call hamas tara for what it is . Just to make things clear, this is not an israeli definition. This is a definition by uk law. This is uk government calling Hamas Terrorists, yet the bbc describes it or when it comes to israel, the response is it is complicated. Israel, the response is it is comlicated. . ,. , complicated. The bbc and other News Organisations complicated. The bbc and other News Organisations call complicated. The bbc and other News Organisations call hamas complicated. The bbc and other News Organisations call hamas militants,. Organisations call hamas militants, and they are a designated Terrorist Group by the uk, the eu and the us. That defence of that is that in other circumstances where other people have called groups, including the ira, including isis terrorists come bbc hasnt because they want to not be seen to be taking sides. I want to focus on what israel is doing in response, and as he made it very clear, it is in response to me said this is not a war that israel wants. Im sure you will agree it is not a war that more than 2 Million People in gaza want to stop israel is insisting that this blockade it will continue until hamas hands over her, it stopped, 150 hostages, israeli hostages. At the price thats being paid for that is the death of many innocent people, and your critics around the world will want an answer to that. They will want an answer to that.
