being kidnapped with her boyfriend from the music festival. her boyfriend is thought to still be in captivity in gaza. this was shlomi ziv and his wife speaking for the first time in eight months. in the past hour, this video has been posted on social media of three hostages being escorted by soldiers to a helicopter in gaza, which then takes off, bound for israel. and this was the moment when two of the hostages arrived in a helicopter at a hospital in tel aviv. all four of the released hostages are said to be in good medical condition. the israeli security forces said the operation was long planned and conducted under heavy fire. one special forces officer was killed. benjamin netanyahu has spoken the hostages in hospital. israeljust spoken the hostages in hospital. israel just carried spoken the hostages in hospital. israeljust carried out a remarkable rescue operation of four hostages held by hamas. this operation required ingenuity and courage of the highest degree, and our soldiers performed in an unmatchable way. we are committed to getting the release of all the hostages, and we expect hamas to release them all. if they don't, we will do whatever it takes to get them all back home. hamas is committing war crimes every day, including the holding of these hostages. oursoldiers including the holding of these hostages. our soldiers are performing in the most valued and immoral way to end this war with a victory against these killers and against these kidnappers, and we shall prevail. against these kidnappers, and we shall prevail-— shall prevail. thank you. an israeli _ shall prevail. thank you. an israeli police - shall prevail. thank you. | an israeli police inspector died of wounds sustained during the raid. tim, chris has 93 palestinians were killed in nuseirat. it was deep within the civilian population of nuseirat,. it was intentionally in civilian homes, and this is what hamas has done. we have heard these reports and testimonies from hostages that have been formally released at the end of november, that they were being held in civilian homes. it was the same this morning — what we found in the operation. we were able to reach with our combined force that was able to engage and extract safely the hostages that were being held. they came under extensive fire. we have an officer that was wounded, injured critically in the extraction and is currently in hospital. our correspondant said that doctors in the area said that at least 50 people appeared to have been killed as a result of this operation and we heard a separate figure from hamas, which i know you'll question, that 93 palestinians were killed as part of this. what is your feeling about the level of casualties that civilians are taking in order to rescue four hostages? every civilian life lost in this war is a deep tragedy. it's a tragedy nevertheless that hamas are responsible for. they initiated this war on the october 7th attack and they intentionally positioned all of their assets, including our hostages, within the civilian population. when we mobilize in a war zone where hamas has fortified their positions within hospitals, houses and schools and when they are firing from places like that and we are responding, then there is a challenge for every military force. we need to operate and bring the hostages home. we would much rather they would be released without us needing to operate, but unfortunately hamas are not releasing the hostages and they are continuing to emotionally extort the tension for israeli society and our responsibility as the military is to seek out the intelligence, find the operational opportunity and bring our hostages home. idf spokesperson peter lerner. since he spoke to us, the israeli security forces have confirmed that the officer critically injured in the operation that peter lerner referred to has now died. let's hear from the doctor speaking at sheba hospital in tel aviv. lam happy i am

operation in the daytime, even though it was higher risk to do it then because they thought it would give a greater element of surprise. there were in effect two teams that went in, targeting two separate apartments. in one of them there was one hostage, the young woman being held, and on the other where the three male hostages. they had more difficulty getting those out. they were able to get noa out, to the complete says of her captors. they were then brought out by helicopter. the defence minister described it as the most extraordinary and brave operation he had seen in his entire career. clearly, though, it was an operation that required a huge amount of force. we have seen a large number of casualties in the central gaza hospital.— central gaza hospital. yes, and hamas have —

though, we have seen from the hospital there awful pictures of children and women being brought in and on the streets we saw a large number of bodies laid out where the fighting had taken place. we understand that the health ministry in gaza, which is of course run by hamas, and we think the figures from here tend to be more reliable, they are due to release a statement shortly. in are due to

talks are going very far at the moment. i think will we'll hear from benjamin netanyahu is his view that the only way to get the hostages out, the best way, is by military pressure on hamas, and i think he will say that this operation today is an example of that. from the point of view of hamas, it is difficult to see them committing to a ceasefire while operations like this are ongoing, and while we are seeing such high levels of civilian and military casualties in gaza. thank you. new cctv of a man believed to be the missing tv and radio presenter michael mosley on the greek island of symi has been seen by the bbc. dr mosley vanished four days ago while on holiday on the island, which is between kos and rhodes. his four children have arrived on the island to help look for him, and the family have described the last few days as "unbearable". our correspondent noor nanji reports. more footage of what appears to be michael mosley at 2pm last wednesday, leaving the village of pedi. it is thought to be one of the last—known sightings of him. rescuers are still trying to piece together what happened. greek police said he left his wife on the beach at st nikolas at 1:30pm. from there it is thought he walked in to pedi. today's footage puts him near the marina on the other side of the village, walking towards rocky hills. a search and rescue operation involving helicopters and drones continues. this mountainous terrain is described as not easy by those involved with the search. the time that michael mosley set off on his walk was also one of the hottest parts of the day. he had been staying in the main town on the island, around one mile from pedi. when he went missing, he did not have his phone. one theory that has emerged is that he was trying to take a much longer route than previously thought, passing over miles of exposed hillside. his four children have arrived on symi to help with the search. the islands mayor said the search will continue until he is found. i am about to do something... michael mosley is known to many as a trusted guru of good health, a tv producer and presenter, who was an advocate for intermittent fasting, including the 5:2 diet. for now, there are more questions than answers. how could someone just disappear on such a small island? his wife, clare, has also been involved in the search, alongside friends. she said that the days since he went missing have been unbearable, but that the family will not lose hope. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. she may be reluctant to adopt the queen of play but she may not have a choice. the number one seed made easy work ofjasmine, her opponent. despite a break of serve at the start of the first set, she bounced back too easily win it 6—2. in the second set she was even more ruthless, taking it 6—1. a valiant effort from paoli knee. an incredible few weeks for the winner, especially when you consider she was match point down in the second round. rugby league has paid tribute to rob burrows who wore the number seven shirt for leeds rhinos after he passed away last sunday from motor neurone disease aged just 41. there was also a

back on the campaign trail following last night's seven—way debate, where politicians locked horns over the economy, armed forces, nhs, immigration and climate policy. today, the conservatives are pushing a permanent cut to stamp duty and labour is outlining its position on business rates. here's our political correspondentjessica parker. stepping into a new day, trying to leave the old one behind. rishi sunak�*s decision last week to depart early from d—day commemorations in france led to his apology and some unusually blunt words from within his own ranks. what happened was completely wrong. and the prime minister has rightly apologised. "completely wrong" was not a phrase another cabinet minister chose to repeat today. it was a mistake. people make mistakes, the prime minister's made a mistake, he's apologised for it, and he's apologised to those who would have been particularly hurt by it. i would say looking at his record since he became prime minister, he cares about veterans hugely. as the conservatives seek to move on, there has been a manifesto spill, a pledge to permanently get rid of stamp duty tax for some first—time buyers. and announced measures for motorists. you take risks, right? while labour is pledging to overhaul business rates and crack down on late invoice payments. one of keir starmer�*s shadow cabinet has acknowledged frozen tax thresholds means payments for some are set to rise, but any tax cuts to come? everything in their manifesto, there won't be any surprises on tax, all of our plans are fully costed, fully funded and none of them involving tax rises over and above those we have already set out. the snp believes there's a conspiracy of silence about tax and spend. well, the biggest issue in this election is the fact that both the labour and the conservative parties have signed up to another period of spending cuts. while the liberal democrats' quest to court attention continues as they say they would create new national parks and spend £4.5 billion planting 60 million trees. this is a capital investment over the next five years. you're right, it is a significant investment but i believe this is hugely important for our environment. but soon the slotting in of individual policy announcements will end. manifestos are being readied for us all to read, the full set of pledges and crucially, costs. jessica parker, bbc news. our correspondentjenny hill is on the liberal democrat election campaign bus and joins us live. the line could be ropey occasionally, so we will stand by to do something else if we lose you. how have they been received when you have been out and about on that bus? you mentioned that the line is bad and you cut outjust as you ask the question. i think you want to know how ed davey has been going down and out and about today. i would say pretty well. one thing i can tell you, you will note that he was playing tennis in newbury earlier on and it so happened that a young couple were walking past and they happened to beat the chairs of a local tennis club and they said never mind his policies, we want to recruit him to our club! i never mind his policies, we want to recruit him to our club!— recruit him to our club! i think we may have — recruit him to our club! i think we may have lost _ recruit him to our club! i think we may have lost jenny. _ recruit him to our club! i think we may have lost jenny. i _ recruit him to our club! i think we may have lost jenny. i think - recruit him to our club! i think we may have lost jenny. i think we . recruit him to our club! i think we i may have lost jenny. i think we have may have lostjenny. i think we ha
