This morning, Israeli Security forces are still fighting to regain full control of southern israel after hamas militants invaded yesterday. This was a Police Station and the israeli town of stirrat, which had been taken by hamas. Hamas fighters initially used bulldozers and explosives to open the Security Bands that surrounds gaza. Some on pick up trucks, others on motorbikes, easily entered nearby israeli towns and villages. This really Defense Force was taken completely by surprise. Our first goal is to cleanse the area of the enemy forces that have infiltrated it. I call it all citizens of israel to unite, to achieve our highest goal, victory in the war. Israeli death toll is high and an unknown number of israelis have been kidnapped and taken into gaza. Israels focus will now be on rescuing them, will set the same time, exacting revenge on hamas.

Now, skies International AffairsEditor Dominic is in southern israel. Good morning to you, dominic. Terrifying night for people. Talk us through how catastrophic intelligence failure was able to play out. I think thats a question Israeli Government is going to have to [inaudible] its been a terrifying 24 hours. I think it has just been a 24 hours of his left most israelis in a sense of shock. Theyre still trying to absorb what happened. There used to palestinians Lightning Rockets from gaza. There used to israelis being taken as hostage one or two at a time. Each time that happens, if the palestinians are able to take an israeli soldier, for instance, its because of national agony. The fact that more than 100 hostages have been taken, possibly hundred 50, is completely unimaginable for israelis. Theyre trying to absorb this and i digest. Theyre trying to work out how to move on from this. Theyre asking government, can you keep us safe . To keep us secure . Israelis are now saying that they are still fighting the palestinians. The side of the border with gaza, different points of engagement. The Hasse Situation is still ongoing which is more than a dozen miles deep inside israel, 12 miles at least from gaza and in tel aviv barry. Theyre not as severe as they have been over the last 24 hours, they arent going. They are no shelling inside gaza. They say and theyre warning palestinians and israelis to prepare for the long haul. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said to the thousands, they mostly. The explanation for that, obviously, gaza is a densely controlled, Densely Populated Strip of land that is impossible for the palestinians to move out of. They explanation weve had overnight from Israeli Military is there going to be taking the pulse and to particular area, had to move out of it, as israelis shell it and put it under military pressure. Israel says its gonna take a long time to try and carry out their will tell a terry action for what has happened. It is going to be hugely complicated by the fact that palestinians have possibly up to hundred and 50 saw hostages they will be using as human shields. Israelis are used to carry operations inside the gaza strip, attacking palestinians for this kind of complex and clashes. Theyve never seen anything on this scale. They have never had to deal with the fact that gaza has as many hostages. Its quite be difficult for israelis. People are demanding action and reassurance that they can keep them safe. The palestinians will be due turned from anything in the future. Its going to take a long time and prepare for the long haul. Dominic, there have been simmering tensions in the last few months between israel and palestine. There is an element, as you say, of complete surprise as hamas troops marched there israel. But the people in the next few, days more bloodshed ahead. Yeah. Its a fact that they were taken completely by surprise that is so shocking to his release. They pride themselves on their intelligence. They believe they own the population that they occupy in the west bank and gaza terms of information about the palestinians. They have the ability to see attacks coming. They were taken completely unaware by these attacks by the palestinians. It happened at the head of the holiday season. They seem to have been caught napping because palestinians were able to attack the fence. They were 29 breaches the defense. Extremely expensive piece of military kit but these rallies have set up to separate themselves from gaza. Able to blast their way through and sent the motorbikes and ships and other vehicles and spread across israel, attacking israelis, taking hostages. Theyve never seen anything like this. I think they are deeply concerned that this could be the beginning of a new kind of war, a new paradigm, if you, like in the conflict. With the palestinians. Theyre facing a very different enemy. Theyve never seen hamas fight like this as effectively as a Military Force before. Theyre wondering whether they have been trained by the iranians or other multiforces. What kind of new threat they will pose. Theyre demanding from their government and military reassurances that that new threat can be neutralized. Okay, for, now dominic, thank you. Rishi sunak has denounced the attack by hamas as cowardly and depraved. Adding israel has an absolute right to defend itself. Joining us now is matthew thompson. Widespread condemnation, matthew, here. From all sides of the political spectrum. Certainly, as you mentioned, the Prime Minister was very quick off the mark yesterday to put forward his condemnation unfolding in israel. He said in a tweet, as the barbarity of todays atrocities becomes clearer, we stand unequivocally with israel. This attack by hamass caralee and prayed, he says. We express our full solidarity to netanyahu, the Prime Minister of israel, and will work with International Partners in the next 24 hours to coordinate support. There has also been confirmation from starmer who condemned the attacks and also said that israel has a right to defend itself. Sky news heard from the Foreign Secretary yesterday that issued similar condemnations. Right across the political spectrum, as you might expect a suppose there is condemnation from what we are witnessing. Theres also quite a statement from the metro police that are saying theyre increasing their presence in and around london. This is after a number of videos began circulating on social media yesterday. Not least from rachel riley who posted some videos of people seemingly driving with palestinian likes. Parting in celebrating at the rally. Saying her and other jews feel unsafe. Measure police have issued a statement that the mayor also tweeted that they remain in close contact with Senior Leadership and the met and communities across our city. Londoners will see an Additional Police presence. Let me be clear, he said, crime in london will not be tolerated. Okay, matthew thompson, thank you so much for the update. Theres been universal condemnation from the west. President joe biden describing the assault by hamas as unconscionable. Others include russia and saudi arabia have called for a ceasefire. Lebanon and iran have celebrated and praised and looks at the global reaction. The seriousness of this moment cannot be overstated. It represents a truly bloody Turning Point in this long conflict. From the back but to the offensive, the consequence of saturdays terrorism against israel will be truly terrifying for the people of gaza. In washington, unequivocal support from israels closest ally and biggest backer. Today, the people of israel are under attack. Orchestrated by a terrorist organization, hamas. In this moment of tragedy, i want to say to them and the world that there are terrorists everywhere. The United States stands with israel. We will not ever fail to have their back. Quite sure that they have the help the citizens need, they can continue to defend themselves. But behind that unwavering support, he knows what is really revenge looks. Like he doesnt know further bloodshed can be avoided. The combination of thousands of rockets fired is really breaking down because a Border Defense shares an operation that was months in the planning. A hamas Military Commander said this was not a hit and run operation. We started an all out battle, he said. That is true. We just dont know what happens next or why this could spread. American officials have said they hope it remains confined to gaza. Maybe, but it is hard to see how. The Security Situation in the west bank, with a weak palestinian leadership that is distant from gaza as hamas, has been deteriorating all year. The 2023 has been the most violent year in two decades. Its boosted support here in the west bank for hamas and gaza. They celebrated saturdays attack. Lebanon, in beirut, they celebrated. We had, this is hezbollah, whos well rehearsed Opportunity Set to attack in the north until pressure israel on another front. Of non broken politics and economy, make things even more dangerous. And the biggest unknown, iran. How will israel respond to their conviction that this is, in the, and an iran problem . Their influence stretches through syria, lebanon, and down to gaza. Just last month, netanyahu was at the u. N. Touting a possible peace deal with saudi arabia. He wants it. So do the saudis. Now, not likely. This will be everyones focus right now. Israel told civilians to leave, but where to . They are closed in. Watch out egypt response. They could open the southern border crossing, facing nearly 1 million refugees. A long, long conflict that has been forgotten, ignored or tolerate by too many for too long. A grim, new twists this weekend. For sky news. For sky ne a reminder of our p stories, israel has been bombarding gaza with airstrikes killing 230 gazans after hamas launched the deadliest day of violence in israel for 50 years. Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu vowed mighty vengeance after 250 israelis were killed. Rishi sunak has denounced the attack by hamas cowardly and prayed, and said he will be working with International Partners in the next 24 hours to coordinate support. Israels ministry of Foreign Affairs said the country will do whatever it takes. Israel is under attack, and the palestinians Terror Organization hamas launched a War Of Terror against the state of israel, starting this morning with thousands of missiles that were launched from the gaza strip toward the israeli population. Parallel to that, dozens of the Hamas Terrorists invaded the state of israel, murdering dozens of israelis and kidnapping many to the gaza strip. Israel has a right to defend itself, like any other country in the world, and we will do whatever it takes in order to liberate our civilians and our soldiers. We are at war. Its a war against terror. We will win this war. Here with me now is associate fellow of The Middle East and thank you so much for joining us here this morning. I guess the word of the day was unprecedented, wasnt it . Good morning. It was actually a horrific day, unprecedented in the history of israel, it happened 50 years ago, october 1973, but civilians were not involved. It happened quite far away. In syria and egypt. This is civilians being attacked, massacred, kidnapped and on the sabbath. It was a jewish holiday that was supposed to be a happy one, so, i think it is the shock of this taking place. And the failure of the intelligence, the operation failure, the Perception Failure that Something Like this can happen. And now, we are facing the consequences of that. We dont know exactly how many people lost their lives. Probably 50 to 300 people, they were taken to gaza some of them. Israel already attacking, we know the next few days will be of more bloodshed unfortunately. And if anyone spoke about peace and an end to the conflict between israel and palestinians, it didnt look likely 24 hours ago, it looks very unlikely today. Like you say, its also a very dangerous moment because, for decades, israeli leaders, including Benjamin Netanyahu, they have assisted a major ground operation into gaza. It looks like that could change very soon. It could change. We need to remember, gaza as a very small place, 360 square kilometers. Its the home of 2 million people. Most of them are refugees. Refugee camps. Fighting door to door and gaza means claiming the lives on both sides. Of many, many people. This is the last thing that both sides need. But, israel will try to reassert itself. Regroup and come back from this shock, you know, the drama of what happened on yesterday and still ongoing inside israel, and reestablish some deterrence towards hamas. Hamas, itself, by embarking on Something Like this by killing and mastering civilians, he basically, excluded itself from any public peace negotiation in the future. And i think in this case, israel would be after the leadership and most of the military wing of hamas, probably the political leaders of as well. As always, we need to remember, even if tuft is like today, on the day after the war and ensuring that whatever happens in the next day, im dreading it, is that israels and palestinians are bound to live, distant to live, as neighbors for the rest of history. And they need to take it into account. I know that the blood is boiling among many israelis, the need for revenge, and to deal with hamas. But killing more innocent palestinians wont resolve it. So military operations yes, but at the same time, try to think about the day after. For now, we will have to leave it there. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Now, he is the vice chair of the palestine solidarity campaign, he told us that palestinians want peace, and to return to the land that has been taken from them by israel. First of all the palestinians want peace more than the israelis do, that is an important thing to say. We, as the palestinians are the oppressed people. We are the people whose rights have been trampled on. I meet refugees in lebanon who have been there since 1948, and their children, who just want to return and live in peace in their homeland. Cederoth is a town flat youve been reported has been attacked, do you know that it was created on the land of a palestinian village . And the president was expelled into gaza, what they want, its only a few kilometers away is to return to their homeland. We want peace as the palestinians, but it
