Targets. The countrys defence minister, yoav gallant, has warned the Military Campaign against hamas, which is designated a Terrorist Organisation by the uk and other western governments, could take up to three months. Saying the focus now is on limited airstrikes. Officials in gaza say more than 5,000 people have been killed by air strikes in the just over two weeks since hamas massacred 1,400 civilians in southern israel. Hamas massacred civilians here in southern israel. While the war continues, israel has said it will continue to allow aid into gaza but not fuel. With electricity already cut many hospitals say they have only a few days of fuel left to power generators. With more, heres our correspondent wyre davies. You may find some of his report distressing. Its a part of gaza where people should have felt relatively safe, the southern part of the strip is for israel and ordered more than a million palestinians to play away from their targets in the north but last night was the worst so far in the town of khan yunis. There were devastating consequences for civilians. This lady lost 13 members of her immediate family, her surviving siblings traumatised.

After more than a fortnight of performing that has reduced ports of gaza to rubble the israeli army is ready for the next stage, the anticipated Land Invasion of gaza to completely eliminate hamas as a future threat to israel. Translation we are using all the Time Available to us to improve our readiness and ability to carry out Ground Manoeuvres in the best possible way. As a life its right to self defence but Global Leaders coming here emphasised the need for restraint, concerned about a wider regional conflict and while Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu will not want to seem indecisive over his vow to crush hamas, he does have other considerations. With more than 200 israeli and International Hostages being held by hamas in gaza, some of their relatives won the Israeli Government to make a deal.

Trapped on a tiny sliver of land between the border and the see the fate of the hostages in gaza � s two point i see the fate of the hostages in gaza � s two pointi million residents hangs in the balance, dependent on what israel and hamas does next.

The un says there is a catastrophic humanitarian situation inside the gaza strip and to put this in perspective, prior to israel putting gaza under siege in this way after those atrocious hamas attacks just over two weeks ago, this is about 4 of the amount of supplies that were going into gaza on a typical day. Really a big increase is needed, the world is watching and waiting to see what happens. For house said having had a conversation with israel that there would be a continuous flow of aid but at the moment, it is still a trickle. Yolande, thank you. The United Nations has described the situation for Palestinian Civilians as a humanitarian catastrophe. Dwindling access to water, food and medicine as israel tightens its blockade of the territory. Our gaza correspondent, rushdi abu alouf, sent us this update. About 2,000 families are living in these tents, they are people displaced from northern gaza. This camp has been built by the unrwa. I was speaking to the families here. They said they are struggling to find water, they are struggling we understand six tracks of pure, they were stored in an oil tank near they were stored in an oil tank near the border and yesterday the un with a coordination with israelis and egyptians, they managed to get six trucks and how they are dividing them between the hospital to keep them between the hospital to keep the hospital running. This was because it was overrun by people who were injured but hundreds of families who are taking this hospital as refuge, sleeping on the ground, sleeping on the ground and it is getting a little bit cold in the evening so a very miserable situation for those people who are in the hospital but they have no other option, no other place to go. Overnight we have about 100 israeli airstrikes across the gaza strip including info this is called, a so called safe area. The most intense airstrikes were around the hospital in gaza city, and they received a call from Israeli Intelligence asking them to vacate the hospital. Such deep concern that this conflict could spell across the border and thatis could spell across the border and that is especially so when it comes to the border with lebanon. Daily crashes are a pain. Israel has evacuated dozens of communities and we come across to our correspondent in lebanon. Hugo bachega, whos in the south of the country.

Several hezbollah targets were hit by the israeli army l targets were hit by the israeli army overnight as these cross border attacks continue between troops in lebanon including hezbollah and the israeli army. These attacks have intensified in recent days but so far they remain content. This morning we visited a number of villages along the border, many residents have left on one of those villages was completely deserted so a lot of people are concerned that the violence could spread, many remember the devastation brought by the war in 2006 between israel and hezbollah so all eyes are on hezbollah, this powerful military in social and Political Organisation supported by iran, considered a Terrorist Organisation by the uk. The israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu warned hezbollah against escalating the situation promising what he described as an unimaginable response but its also important iran supports hezbollah but also groups in syria which borders israel, iraq, yemen, theres been a number of incidents in those countries in recent days so of the focus has been on what is happening along the border tensions are high across the region. Hugo, thank you. There you have it at this hour, a ball which is intensifying on many fronts, concerned that it could speu fronts, concerned that it could spell across borders, a humanitarian catastrophe that deepens by the day in casa and the anguish of families around the world about the hostages. This a little bit more than two weeks into a Military Campaign that the Israeli Defence minister has warned that could last for months. We will keep an eye on all the developments but now time to join ben brown in the studio. Thank you so much. The family of Yosef Gedalia have confirmed he is the 11th british israeli to have been killed by hamas during the attack on israel just over two weeks ago. The 22 year old was a soldier in an israeli anti terror unit, sent to the kibbutz kfar aza on October The 7th to confront hamas gunmen there. His family said he was a hero was managed to save several people before being shot. He was about to celebrate his first wedding anniversary. The Home SecretarySuella Braverman is to question the head of the metropolitan police about its response to pro palestinian demonstrations in london at the weekend. The met said it had not identified any offences in a video posted online showing a man chanting the word jihad at an Islamist Group rally separate from the main march. Our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, is in westminster. What are the governments concerns here . This chant took place as you say at a separate protest to the main protest and that separate protest was organised by a group which operates in many countries all over the world. An Islamist Group which wants sharia law to apply here and all over the world. The governments concern is that when the metropolitan police saw both in person and footage of this chant, they decided that no offence had been committed. The Home Secretary was already going to be meeting sir mark rowley the metropolitan Police Commissioner today, talking about the concerning rising anti semitism over recent weeks and this issue got wrapped into that meeting. The meeting hasjust wrapped into that meeting. The meeting has just broken up and saw mark rowley, the met commissioner has come out and said it is not the job at the met police taste or decency, it is theirjob to enforce the law and he said it is the job of parliament to set the boundaries of the law and perhaps they are not drawn in the right place in other words he says the reason offence were not seen to be committed by the met is because under the existing law, those are not offences and we know this has been history for some time because two years ago before he was running the met he wrote a review for the government in which he mourned Extremism Law was not tough enough to combat the sort of thing so i think you expect renewed pressure on the government, if it is serious about the sort of thing becoming an offence, to change the law. In a briefing just before the comments from sir mark rowley, a spokesman for the Prime Minister suggested the government would not do that so it is unclear but i think there will be pressure on the government from mps and others to find a way to crack down on this. Henry, thank you. Scotlands first minister, humza yousaf, has visited brechin after the town was devastated by flooding during storm babet.
