Israels military says it has recovered the bodies of three hostages from gaza. It says Yitzhak Gelernter, shani louk and amit buskila were killed by Hamas On October 7th and that their bodies were recovered in an operation overnight. Meanwhile, the us military says the first aid shipment for gaza delivered via A Temporary Pier has gone ashore. Its hoped this will help some of the over 2 million palestinians in dire need of food and shelter. Lucy williamson reports. Shani louk, Yitzhak Gelernter and amit buskila, killed near the nova Music Festival on the 7th of october. Their bodies, taken hostage and brought back home this week by israeli forces. Our hearts go out to them, to the families, at this difficult time. We will leave no stone unturned, we will do everything in our power to find our hostages and bring them home. Israels Prime Minister has vowed to bring home the remaining hostages the living and the dead. But that promise is wearing thin with many hostage families as the war in gaza continues. Today, israels army said it had found this hamas arsenal, with a stockpile of heavy weapons. Hamas released this video, from the samejabalia neighbourhood, weeks after israel said the area was cleared. The un says aid to gaza has plummeted as southern routes are blocked by israels Operation In Rafah, and that more than half a Million People have fled in search of safety, shelter and food. Today, the first test of a new temporary pier and causeway, built by us and British Forces to get aid in. A lifeline for gaza to relieve the pressure on local populations, and distant politicians. These, the first pictures of cargo being driven along the floating causeway to un lorries waiting on gazas shore. Among the supplies, Temporary Shelter Kits from the uk. We welcome it, we hope it can be effectively scaled up, but it is no substitute for a proper opening of borders. It is expensive and it is inefficient, but we hope that it will work. But the new pier was little comfort for some of those watching from the shore. Translation they want to bring us food . They should bring us back to our homes, they should stop the bloodshed. They should come and see how we are living on the streets. Israels allies are taking on gazas growing humanitarian crisis, with a 300 million response that will salve, not solve. Lucy williamson, bbc news, jerusalem. Israel has told the Uns Highest Court that accusations of genocide brought by south africa were completely divorced from the facts. South africa has asked judges at the International Court ofjustice to issue an Emergency Order stopping israels Offensive Into Rafah in southern gaza. Our Diplomatic Correspondent paul adams is injerusalem. What did israel tell the court . Essentially, israel has repeated some of the case that it made to the court at the beginning of the year, that this was a war forced on it by hamas in that to tell israel to stop is tantamount to saying that it cannot defend itself. It has rafah is a hamas stronghold, hamas is Still Holding hostages and Firing Rockets into israel. And it says that it has gone to Great Lengths to prevent harm to civilians, by delaying the Operation In Rafah by several weeks and by telling palestinians to leave. No Country Intent on committing genocide, it says, would go to such lengths. Then theres the question of aid which you havejust theres the question of aid which you have just been theres the question of aid which you havejust been hearing theres the question of aid which you have just been hearing about. The israelis say they have taken steps to improve the flow of aid and in the north the gaza strip, that does appear to be true. But in the south, the Aid Situation is increasingly desperate. And that is a direct result of israels military action. Obviously, israel wants to avoid a situation in which the court issues an orderfor avoid a situation in which the court issues an order for it to stop the Operation In Rafah. It would ignore it if the Court Decides to issue it, but i think the fear that the israelis have is that that would still worsen their International Standing and perhaps persuade some of their allies, especially the united states, to do more to rein them in. ~ united states, to do more to rein them in. , ~ , united states, to do more to rein them in. , ~ i. , after Russian Troops crossed the border into North Eastern ukraine last week, President Putin has said there are no plans to capture the countrys second city kharkiv, at least for now. Mr putin, on a visit to china, said his forces were advancing in order to protect the russian border region. Here is the latest Battlefield Situation from uk military intelligence. The red areas are russian occupied, with the arrows showing likely points of russian attack. The recent focus of attention is here in the north east, near kharkiv, where fierce fighting has been taking place. The yellow represents new gains claimed by russia. Our defence correspondent, jonathan beale, sent this Special Report from the front line. Near the village of lyptsi, the russians are closing in. The fire from a recent Rocket Attack near a ukrainian position. We are told to immediately head to a bunker. Taking shelter, recently arrived ukrainian reinforcements. A week ago, they were fighting elsewhere on the front. Andrei tells me the situation is dynamic and tense. From a drone feed, they are nervously watching and waiting for another attack. He says its time to leave. Theyve just spotted enemy forces advancing. This is where they are directing artillery fire. They are telling us to get out. Theyve said this area is under threat, and were going to go. At a Field Hospital further from the front, medics are treating victor. He has lost his fingers in a mortar explosion. He says he and his men were fending off wave after wave of russian attacks. They were outnumbered and also outgunned. Translation they have everything, whatever they want, and we have nothing to fight with, but we do what we can. Ukraines been starved of ammunition, but president zelensky says the shortage is now being addressed. At an Artillery Line outside the town of vovchansk, theyve just received another batch of shells, for their old soviet era gun. Ukraine is just about holding the front here in the kharkiv region, while the russians have launched this fresh assault, but only by pulling units like this from elsewhere on the front, in places where the russians have been advancing. These guys have just been given a new target. But they are frustrated, too, that the russians were so easily able to cross the border. Translation we could have built some sort of fortifications and lost | less human lives, fewer villages. Now, we will have to fight for it again. We will need to use more resources. We could have used logs and concrete. Now we will have to use shells and people to take this land back. Kharkiv was fortified, but these defences were built well away from the border, beyond the range of russian artillery. Too far to make a difference. Explosions. Further east, where the russians are also gaining ground, ukraine is building more defences a Recognition It may have to pull back here too. But digging so close to russian lines is dangerous and difficult, as were about to find out. Johnny, Johnny Johnny get down we are told to take cover. Quick, quick, quick. As a Russian Armed drone hovers right above us, scanning for potential targets. Drone whirrs. There is palpable relief when it passes. This is a war in which it is getting harder to hide, where the enemys watching your every move. Yeah, lets go. Jonathan beale, bbc news, kharkiv.
