A white house official has confirmed to our us partner, cbs news, that several americans have been killed, but they havent put a number to that. Thats the only confirmation we have coming in from the white house official who said several americans have been killed and they are monitoring the situation very closely there on the ground. So thats a story we will continue to track, as well as the fallout. 0ur Correspondents have been Tracking Developments from across the region. Heres our International Editor jeremy bowen injordan. Israel right now is going through this most extraordinary, awful National Trauma. And as youve been hearing, the Military Response has already started, and its going to be considerable. Now in the past, when there have been flare ups, there sometimes has been pressure on israeli leaders, including benjamin netanyahu, to deal with hamas once and for all, to get in there, kill their operatives, get their leaders, smash their infrastructure. But actually, hes resisted doing that and others have too. And the reason is they thought they had a better way, which was effectively to contain hamas inside gaza. And theyve done that since hamas took over there in 2007. The way theyve done that is to keep it under a pretty state state tight state of siege, helped by egypt, which doesnt like hamas either, and also have confidence in their Intelligence Services and military capability, and the events of yesterday have shown very clearly that all those assumptions were wrong, and that paradigm has been shattered. So what happens next . Well, a large Military Operation israel is a very powerful country, very powerful military, and perhaps he can go in and deal, as they say, once and for all with hamas. But assuming they do that, i think the really big question longer term is what happens on the day after . How is gaza going to be because governed . To israelis and palestinians need to talk to each other again . The last attempt at a peace process, sponsored by the americans, failed ten years ago. So i think longer term, in the end, theyll have to try and deal with the roots of this century long conflict and that isntjust military, its political. Well, as we have been reporting, its thought that the 250 People Killed in israel by hamas were young people attending a Music Festival in the southern israeli desert. Social media pictures showed Hundreds Fleeing The Nova Festival Which was held near the small settlement of reim, a kibbutz near the border with gaza as Caroline Hawley reports. Images post on social media show people running for their lives. Witnesses say that after rockets lives. Witnesses say that after rocket. ,. , rockets were fired, Palestinian Government rockets were fired, Palestinian Government began rockets were fired, Palestinian Government began attacking i rockets were fired, Palestinian I government began attacking from several directions. Dont kill me, she pleads, as noa argamani and her boyfriend, avi natan, are both taken captive. Both are still missing, thought to have been taken into gaza. Today, noas father spoke through his anguish to israeli media. Translation i asked to see the video and then i saw that it was definitely her. She was so scared, so frightened. I always protected her and, at this very moment, i couldnt. Noa is 25, with a passion for travel. Shed been messaging a friend just before she was kidnapped, and then the live location ended. Itsjust us waiting and hoping, really hoping and praying that everything is good, that she will come back home safely, her and her boyfriend and everyone that is in captivity now. Also taken from the festival, shani louk, a tattoo artist from germany, pictured here on holiday in mexico. Herfamily recognised her in a video of palestinian gunmen celebrating her capture on a pick up truck. The images of shani herself are too upsetting to show. We were sent a video in which i could clearly see our daughter unconscious with the palestinians and them driving around the gaza strip. I ask you to send us any help or news. Jake marlowes family and friends are also desperate for news. Hes a 26 year old british man who was working at the festival. Hes reported to have told his mother he loved her and promised to keep her updated, before his phone began ringing out. 0n the road next to where the festival was taking place, the aftermath. We dont yet know whats happened to all those who came in these cars to party, to celebrate. Shellshocked reunions with those who survived. But the brutality of the attack, the terror of it, will now be seared into the psyche of a nation. Caroline hawley, bbc news. Its a conflict that goes back decades, and the developments unfolding today are a result of that. The bbc� s middle east bureau Chiefjo Floto puts things in perspective. The Zaka Organisation Which is a group of volunteers that recovers Human Remains from this kind of attack or natural disasters theyve been scouring the area near the gaza strip all day and they have reported in the last hour that theyve recovered more than 250 bodies from the site of that Music Festival, and bodies still remain there. So that is a huge total of people who have been killed. But it wont come as a shock because we knowjust how bad that attack was. And we have been hearing, your viewers have been hearing, testimony from people who survived that attack that the shooting carried on for hours. There were gunmen approaching the revellers and festivalgoers on both sides, and they chased them through the countryside and into the forests and back to their cars and established roadblocks. And weve seen pictures today of the remains of those cars burnt out and shot up. And there were bodies lying in the streets in the surrounding area. So this is confirmation of what many had feared, that this had been a complete massacre of festivalgoers, carried out by these militants who had infiltrated israel from gaza. Yeah, incredibly distressing details, jo. What do we know about where we are this evening . Any sense of what happens now and next, through the night . Look, i think this kind of detailjust reinforces the shock that israel is in. You heard there from the Security Counciljust how determined israel is at the moment to exact retribution, revenge and to destroy hamas militarily. Whether thats possible or not is a different matter, but they are Gathering Forces as we speak. Thousands upon thousands of troops are being sent down close to the gaza strip. We dont know when they will be in operation, but weve been left in no doubt by Military Leaders here and politicians that they intend to do something out of the ordinary, in order to respond to this extraordinary attack on israel. And weve seen a ferocious bombardment continue throughout the day today. More than 350 dead in gaza. The total in israel, well, between 600 700, and that total may rise. But the big question now is, what happens to the hostages . Israel has admitted and acknowledged that there may be 100 hostages whove been taken from israel into the gaza strip. Some of them are soldiers, but we know that some of them are families. Weve seen pictures of elderly people being taken across, of entire families, including children, and then being paraded on social media throughout the day. This is a National Trauma in israel and it will mean that politicians and Military Leaders will have to find some kind of resolution to that issue, but its not going to be easy. And, jo, when you talk about revenge and searching for hostages, just remind us of the geography of gaza and all that that implies. Look, its a tiny strip of land, with three Million People living in it, and a Militant Group that has evidently been preparing for this for some time. This was a combined and coordinated and carefully communicated attack that crossed into israel at 22 different locations. They managed to overrun Military Installations that were supposed to be impregnable. This border was set up precisely to prevent this happening. This was not a surprise that Militant Groups in gaza wanted to come into israel and inflict this kind of pain, or to bring the war to israeli towns and villages in israel. Thats a stated aim of the Militant Groups, and the military in israel were supposed to prevent that from happening and they didnt, so they are trying to reverse this now. And what happens to these hostages . Well, israel has had to deal with Hostage Crises in the past, but its only been in ones and twos, in small numbers. And eventually, if israel does negotiate and release prisoners in exchange, but the numbers were dealing with now and what hamas and islamichhad are asking for in return, which will be the release of their prisoners from israel, well, that seems to be a position thats not compatible with events that have happened over the last 48 hours. So we await a massive and Military Response from israel, but we dont know exactly what form its going to take. An emergency at the Un Security Council has now finished, our North America correspondent nada tawfik has been following the events from new york. The uns middle east envoy briefed councilmembers behind once doors, giving them an update, the latest on the ground, and also with the un is doing through their humanitarian operations in gaza. He also, according to a un official, really pleaded with countries who are able to do so to exert diplomatic efforts to try to restore calm in the region. He said that hes been in touch with both parties, and that he is urging maximum restraint. Now councilmembers didnt even attempt to reach a statement on this unprecedented attack, but according to one diplomat, there was a real sense that this was a Game Changing moment. In fact, the uae� s ambassador came out and told reporters that the briefing had been sobering, and that there was a concern about regional spill over and inflammation, and that the concern at the moment the priority is about the safety of civilians, and also the unconditional release of hostages. 0n the issue of resuming peace talks, the two state solution, she said that there was a real understanding that that was needed to prevent further violence, that that was needed to prevent furtherviolence, but that that was needed to prevent further violence, but that at that point, talks to resume hadnt been concluded yet. Before these consultations, these briefings got under way, we did hearfrom both israeli and palestinian ambassadors to the un. The israeli ambassador said that this was israels 9 11, and he showed Graphic Photos of civilians being dragged off into gaza, and he said that those images would be seared in his mind. The palestinian un ambassador said that he would be calling for an Emergency Meeting of the League Of Arab States in the Coming Daysin Of Arab States in the coming days in cairo, and he urged the Security Council to try to address the root causes of this conflict, and to end the Israeli Occupation of Palestinian Territories. He said that was the only way to ensure peace in the future. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news.

We had the very wet weather in scotland, and then on sunday, it was exceptionally warm across so many other parts of the country. In northern ireland, 22. 6 celsius the warmest 0ctober day since the � 60s. About 24 in wales thats the warmest in over a decade. And in london, nearly 26 celsius about the warmest day in october since 2018. Now the rain from scotland is petering out, some areas have had about a months worth of rainfall recently. And the overall Weather Pattern is still showing a dip in the jet stream here, which is shunting that warmer atmosphere from the south. So once again, it will be exceedingly warm, not just here in the uk, but across many parts of western and also Central Europe this week. So the headline is one of a warm start this week but not completely dry, there is some rain on the way particularly where we dont want it in Western Parts of scotland, but thats not until tuesday. So heres the forecast, then, for the early morning. A lot of bright weather around little dribs and drabs perhaps in the western isles. Still relatively cool in the north of scotland, around 13 15, but look at that northern ireland, wales, england, widely into the 20s, perhaps even the mid 20s, again in london and the southeast. Now a cold front is approaching and will bring some fresher weather, but again, rain to parts of scotland on tuesday. Look at that rain reaching the northwest first, then it spreads into central scotland. But still very mild, 17 18 here, snd were still talking about the low to mid 20s on tuesday widely across the uk. And then, tuesday into wednesday, well start to see a change coming in from the north. So a Weather Front will spread southwards across the uk. It will bring some rain, stronger winds for scotland and much fresher, much cooler, if not even colder conditions in the very far north of scotland temperatures here barely making ten degrees in lowick, ii in stornoway, 14 in newcastle, but still warmth with some cloud and rain on wednesday in the south, about 20 23 celsius. The temperatures will return to close to the seasonal norm, at least towards saturday, sunday, but its stilljust the other side of average. So warmer than average, i think, over the coming days.
