We have seen significant strikes overnight from the Israeli Military and that news they killed a senior hamas commander that they say orchestrated last saturdays attacks. That Significant Development coming from the Israeli Military. They continue to launch attacks may say are targeted on israeli militants. Amongst all of that we have been charting the death toll, the casualties, the scenes on the ground for those palestinians. The israeli order staying in place full 1. 1 Million People to leave both gaza city and other areas to the north and said that the south. Just another camera angle showing the skyline in gaza. Lets just recap on where we are. Israel says it is monitoring the flight of Palestinian People from Northern Gaza. The Un Relief Agency, unrwa, says Hundreds Of Thousands of people have been displaced in the past 12 hours alone, and nearly a million thats almost half the territorys population in the past week. Israel says those still in the north should leave as soon as possible, and its specified two roads it says are safe for people heading south. People were told on friday to relocate before an expected ground offensive. Israels Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said his countrys bombardment of gaza is just the beginning. More rockets have been fired into israel, and israeli airstrikes are continuing across gaza. Military sources in israel say, a senior hamas commander is among those killed. Israeli forces are continuing their build up near the boundary with gaza. These are some of the latest pictures of Tank Movements and deployments, the hardware that has been put in place, as well is it 300,000 plus reservists. In the north, israeli troops killed several people they identified as terrorists, who were trying to cross the border from lebanon. 0vernight, israels military exchanged more cross border fire with the iranian backed Lebanese Group, hezbollah. The us Secretary Of State, antony blinken, is in saudi arabia on the latest stop of a tour of The Middle East. Jordans Foreign Minister has accused israel of Flagrant Breaches of International Law and warned the displacement of civilians in gaza was pushing the whole region towards conflict. This is the scene live from gaza the latest information is that more than 2,200 people have been killed in gaza with 9,000 wounded. At least 1,300 israelis were killed by hamas gunmen last weekend. Those are some of the headline developments. Returning to the pictures i showed about an hour ago, from the reuters news agency, of one of the strikes last night. You are seeing just the immediate aftermath of one of the strikes. People scrambling to get away and the early moments of the rescue operation. Those Emergency Crews in place. You can see the flames. We will see in the next few seconds as the picture arc surrounded by a second blast that patches certainly one of those workers first centre screen. Have a look. Really disturbing pictures of that blast. We are told that man sent a picture can still completely knocked off his feet, did actually survive. Seriously injured but some of his colleagues just running for cover. Really disturbing footage that came in, just one of the strikes carried out through the course of the night. Lets round up more of the details. The reality of another night of israeli air strikes on gaza. Chaos in the rubble. Scramble for survivors. More casualties varied to overrun hospitals and yet more civilians killed. As israel insists more than a Million People in the north of gaza must move out. Translation this is| a genocide, not a war. It is genocide and it is an attempt to displace the people of the gaza strip, but this will not happen. Israel says this is a legitimate response to the Hamas Attrocities a week ago. This footage shows the elimination of hamas commanders who had masterminded the mass killing. A few miles away, just a fragment of the build up of israeli troops, amid anticipation of a full scale Land Incursion into gaza. Israel continues to fire on gaza with its artillery and its fighter jets. In insists it is targeting hamas and not civilians. Today, israelis have given a limited window for palestinians to move south. They are being told they will be safe, but as we have seen over the past 2a hours, civilians have been killed trying to move away. This convoy of vehicles was hit in the north of gaza yesterday, attempting the journey to safety. The circumstances are still not clear. Israel says a significant number of people have now followed their ultimatum to leave Northern Gaza. We have seen people listening to our warning, understanding that they are doing the clever thing, moving out of a dangerous area and that they are doing the right thing for their families and their own safety. Americas top diplomat, who is in The Middle East, stressed once again that civilian life must be protected. As israel pursues its legitimate right to defending its people, to try to ensure that this never happens again, it is vitally important that they also look out for civilians, and we are working together to do exactly that, in particular working on establishing safe areas. Hamas continues to attack israel. This footage of unmanned so called kamikaze drones. They, along with rockets, are still being fired to civilian areas in many parts of israel. The United Nations has called forfood, fuel and aid to be sent to gaza. For now, it is only bullets and bombs heading that way. Live now tojerusalem and our middle east correspondent, tom bateman. It isa it is a week since the worst attack on israels history. In terms of the mood, the latest you are hearing, just take me through it. Hell mood, the latest you are hearing, just take me through it. Hell have heard quite just take me through it. Hell have heard quite a just take me through it. Hell have heard quite a bit just take me through it. Hell have heard quite a bit about just take me through it. Hell have heard quite a bit about the heard quite a bit about the desperate humanitarian situation in gaza, as the bombardment continues. Also about the desperate plight of israelis still waiting for the news of hostages being held and some of the International Diplomatic activity around that. No clear details emerging. As for the situation in gaza, in the last ten minutes, the United Nations agency providing the majority of services for the civilian population in gaza, schools and medical centres, many of those facilities where places to be used as designated shelters. Schools have been having a situation where many thousands of civilians in gaza have been taking shelter there. They are not reinforced shelters but they are not reinforced shelters but they are designated shelters that are supposed to be the conflicted and free from military attack. They have said those people are not safe any more. That is in the context of this unprecedented Mass Evacuation notice given by yesterday, involving one point1 Million People they told to move to the south of the gaza strip. We have been hearing about some of the ramifications of that. As for the ramifications of that. As for the people who have remained but either because they have chosen to all because they are the elderly, very young and pregnant women and others who simply cannot travel, they are saying those people are no longer safe and are calling for israel is an urgent need to make sure they are protected in what we will assume at some point over the coming hours and days the start of this ground incursion. This ground incursion. Exactly on that last phrase this ground incursion. Exactly on that last phrase you this ground incursion. Exactly on that last phrase you use, this ground incursion.

Hardj to say. Once the 24hour window was to say. Once the 24 hour window was given yesterday, it felt like a signal. When the military spokesman was asked yesterday, it was put in it was impossible for that number of people to be evacuated at that time. There seemed to be a bit more of an elastic around it, they understood that the number of people could not be moved in that period of time. What we have had today is the Israeli Military saint two route south, to the south of the gaza strip, would be kept safe between ten oclock local time and four oclock this afternoon. That is in about one hour. What we have been hearing from people in gaza is the route itself is not safe. We were seeing the really pictures earlier on of a bombardment that took place yesterday, a strike. The Palestinian Health Ministry Said it was an israeli strike they said would kill 70 people. The bbc has been able to verify some video from the Scene Showing at least 12 people were killed. That is the danger, that people deciding whether or not to make that journey, people deciding whether or not to make thatjourney, have been trying to work out whether or not it is worth the risk of trying to take that route to potential safety. Still potential bombardment in the south of the strip as well. South of the strip as well. Thank ou ve south of the strip as well. Thank you very much south of the strip as well. Thank you very much.

They are starting to make their way through The Streets Of London and will end up whitehall. If you walk that distance with no crowds, it takes about 30, 35 minutes or so. Clearly that will take them a lot longer to end up at whitehall, which is the destination in westminster. A very noisy protest here today. We have seen players being set offjust behind us. Lots of flags being waved and people chanting as well. Some of the chance include, free palestine and stop the bombing in gaza.

In terms of the policing effort, it is significant here today in Central London. We were told by the metropolitan police there are around 1000 Police Officers on duty here today.
