Hello, im lucy hockings. Welcome to bbc news now, three hours of fast moving news, interviews and reaction. Israels military says it carried out a new ground raid in gaza overnight to target hamas fighters. Infantry and armoured units were accompanied by Helicopter Gunships as they entered eastern gaza city. These pictures, supplied by the idf, apparently show a Hamas Tunnel Being struck by a guided missile. Launch sites for anti tank missiles and command and control centres were also hit. The army said it killed a senior hamas commander and all israeli troops exited the area with no injuries. This is the second brief ground raid in as many days. The israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted a full offensive is coming. The main un agency in the gaza strip is again warning its humanitarian work is becoming more difficult because of a lack of fuel in the territory. The head of unrwa says basic services are crumbling, with food and water running out and streets overflowing with sewage. They were providing in his words nothing more than crumbs. Lets go to lyse doucet, our chief International Correspondent lyse doucet in jerusalem. Also anna foster. We can start with you. What is happening there at the moment . ,. ,. , , moment . This border has been incredibly active moment . This border has been incredibly active in moment . This border has been incredibly active in the moment . This border has been incredibly active in the last moment . This border has been i incredibly active in the last couple of weeks and i want to show you what we have been seeing a lot over the last few days. If you look up to the ridge line just here, last few days. If you look up to the Ridge Linejust here, this is last few days. If you look up to the ridge line just here, this is the border between lebanon and israel and you can see smoke that is rising just over that ridge. It seems to be just over that ridge. It seems to be just on the lebanese side. We have seen repeated strikes every day that have been coming across the border from lebanon into israel and israel have been responding notjust with Artillery Fire but i have been using attack helicopters, fighterjets as well to try and target hezbollah positions on the other side. One thing i can also show you, the reason all that fighting has been happening is because these are residential areas, right here you can see one of the israeli communities thatjust look over the communities that just look over the Border Communities Thatjust look over the border but this whole place has been evacuated. All the way along this border, Tens Of Thousands of people who are within two kilometres of this line have been moved away. This particular place is a large town, normally Tens Of Thousands of residents just here, normally Tens Of Thousands of residentsjust here, but normally Tens Of Thousands of residents just here, but they have all been moved away and you get now is local Security Teams and soldiers doing what they can to try to keep this very precarious border area safe. And to try and stop tensions further inflaming here and this is opening an a new programmatic front in this ward. Opening an a new programmatic front in this ward in this ward. Thank you for that. Lets look in this ward. Thank you for that. Lets look at in this ward. Thank you for that. Lets look at what in this ward. Thank you for that. Lets look at what is in this ward. Thank you for that. Lets look at what is happening l lets look at what is happening inside gaza, the unwra Commissioner General has been speaking. Unrwas Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini has been speaking and says people there feel shunned, alienated and abandoned. Lets listen. Basic services are crumbling. Medicine is running out. Food and water are running out. The streets of gaza have started overflowing with sewage. Gaza is on the brink of a Massive Health hazard. And the risk of diseases are looming. What is needed is meaningful and uninterrupted aid flow. And to succeed, we need a humanitarian ceasefire to ensure this aid reaches those in need. Today, at least 57 colleagues of mine are confirmed killed. In one day, we had confirmation that 15 were killed. Lets go to lyse doucet our chief International Correspondent injerusalem. An increasingly desperate sound of all those un officials who are talking about their work owing to be abandoned in some cases, the lack of fuel, and also the fact they are losing their own staff. Fuel, and also the fact they are losing their own staff. Yes, every death of 18 losing their own staff. Yes, every death of 18 aid losing their own staff. Yes, every death of 18 aid worker losing their own staff. Yes, every death of 18 aid worker is losing their own staff. Yes, every i death of 18 aid worker is mourned, but 57 dead, i think is the highest everfor a un agency. They will remember the Suicide Bombing in baghdad many years ago, but this is beyond their imagination. Of course it is just three weeks into this world with no sign of attending. It is a measure ofjust how dangerous it is for the aid workers who are trying to help, hundreds of thousands of displaced people. We have heard day in, day out that the un has been warning about the calamitous situation in gaza. Now it was a turn of the Commissioner General of unwra, the main agencies are going to provide aid gaza, using that phrase that it is on the brink, desperately calling for more aid, every life saving aid but most of all for fuel. Every lifesaving aid but most of all for fuel all for fuel. Listening into that ress all for fuel. Listening into that Press Conference, all for fuel. Listening into that Press Conference, there all for fuel. Listening into that Press Conference, there were | all for fuel. Listening into that | Press Conference, there were a all for fuel. Listening into that Press Conference, there were a few key lines that i want to discuss with you. Letsjust key lines that i want to discuss with you. Lets just have a listen again to the Secretary General when they talk about the desperate need for fuel and what could be a short term temporary solution in terms of getting fuel for the un. Have a listen. As far as unwra concerned, we have fuel for today. Now, there is a place where there is fuel, which was fuel based on the agreement between israel and qatar, fuel being brought in by egypt. I guess you are referring to this fuel. If we have access to this fuel, we will have access only through deconfliction with israel. There might be some fuel available that would bring us for one or two more days. The quantity of fuel we need for the operation i indicated before is 160,000 litres per day, to supply our partners, the hospitals, the bakeries, and for our own operation. The un here wanting a commitment that they wont be bombed when they go and get this fuel. But to we know if hamas takes the view that is meant for aid, which is israels accusation . I meant for aid, which is israels accusation . Meant for aid, which is israels accusation . ~. ,. , accusation . I think there would be a difference. Before accusation . I think there would be a difference. Before this accusation . I think there would be a difference. Before this War Accusation . I think there would be a difference. Before this war there difference. Before this war there would be the fuel about hamas as a Governing Authority in gaza would have received. There have been many agreements with the gulf of qatar and with israel to try to get water, food, medicine, fuel into the gaza strip when there is not a war. Israel has been saying there is a lot of fuel in gaza. It is just controlled by hamas. We have asked un officials repeatedly about that feel and they simply say they dont know what hamas has and it is not up to them to ask the warring parties for fuel. To them to ask the warring parties forfuel. What to them to ask the warring parties for fuel. What we to them to ask the warring parties forfuel. What we heard to them to ask the warring parties for fuel. What we heard from Philippe Lazzarini today was a first time they made clear that unwra does have a depot, there is a small amount of fuel still in there, but they cant reach it. In a Press Conference where he said that one of the Staff Members who was killed was simply going out to buy bread for his family, and was killed, you can imagine how worried they are that as they try to approach that fuel, that more staff could die stop so they want, as he has put it, the conviction measures, they want to to be absolutely sure of their own staff will be saved. Judging by what we are hearing and what the hospitals are running out of fuel, the critical shortage is that the un have notwithstanding the small suoply, have notwithstanding the small supply, is that they still need larger quantities to be allowed to enter, and so far it is a from israel. ,. ,. ,. , ~ israel.

Since we started talking l some Light Pictures have come in something you are aware of but we will show viewers pictures we are getting on right now, going to us from the west bank from ramallah. People are out on the streets, demonstrating, it is being called there by people a day of anger. Also news from the west bank that Israeli Forces have killed at least numb for palestinians following a dawn raid on the west bank.

Muslim day of rest, it is after friday prayers. Almost every friday since this war began, groups in the occupied territory, across the arab world have been calling what they described as a day of rage. People are taking to the streets, including as we are seeing in the pictures in the occupied west bank, where there have been classes and deaths in recent days. They have been overshadowed of course by the intensity of the military Campaign Intensity of the Military Campaign in dell gaza, and the fast rising casualty toll there. But there is tensions they are rising, between protesters and jewish settlers who before, before this war erupted, most of the tension between israelis and palestinians was in the occupied west bank, much of it in the northern part of the west bank, these clashes between Israeli Settlers who Felt Empowered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus right Wing Coalition and now that protest has give an extra fuel because of this war. It also bears mentioning that in some of the process we have seen in the occupied west bank, palestinians have also vented their anger with the Palestinian Authority and the leadership of the president mahmoud abbas. ,. , leadership of the president mahmoud abbas. , ~ ,. , leadership of the president mahmoud abbas. , ~ ,. , leadership of the president mahmoud abbas. , ~. ,. , abbas.

We shall update you on what is happening in terms of the idf. We can take you to wyre davies who joins us from southern israel. What is the idea of telling you about this overnight raid into gaza . Iquite this overnight raid into gaza . Quite siunificant increase of idf activity over the last couple of days. They have confirmed they have been into gaza on these limited incursions twice now. Though one last night was further down in the central gaza strip where the israeli army said they went in with Ground Forces and a couple of tanks, probably with air support as well to attack certain specific hamas positions just inside gaza. The israeli army said that operation was successful, there were no israeli casualties. That follows a similar operation but slightly bigger, the night before, but within an area we think in Northern Gaza where israel went on with thanks and bulldozers and this is quite literally and quite purposefully an operation to pave the grant, to make their way to what is expected to a much larger invasion of gaza. Prime minister netanyahu has said that is going to happen, we havent heard when, but these incursions that are paving the way for that may continue for several nights and days, israel might want to clear minefields, they might want to clear minefields, they might want to clear minefields, they might want to clear advanced hamas positions just across the border fence, so it is perfectly feasible that these operations might continue for some time but again it is ahead of what mr netanyahu has said will be a full scale invasion because it is the only way israel can be secure of defeating hamas militarily. Goad of defeating hamas militarily. Good to have you of defeating hamas militarily. Good to have you with of defeating hamas militarily. Good to have you with us. Of defeating hamas militarily. Good to have you with us. Thank of defeating hamas militarily. Good to have you with us. Thank you for joining us from israel, we can show you the live pictures we are getting again from her maleh. As lyse doucet was describing there have been friday prayers and people have taken to the streets as i have in other weeks as well as they are protesting, lyse doucet called it a day of rage, a day of anger is what we often hear. Many People Killed in the west bank as well. The figure over 100 now. This morning at least four palestinians were killed during a dawn raid in the north of the occupied west bank. This is the scene right now in ramallah but this is happening in other cities across the region. And across the arab and muslim world. These are live pictures from istanbul, from turkey, where you can also see people there who are showing their support for palestinians, anger at the loss of life, in gaza. We are also expecting photos today, we expect injordan, and also in yemen. We are keeping a close eye on them but we have been told there will be extensive demonstrations across that part of the world. We will be across all developments for you in around the world and across the uk this is heaps in use. Bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making the news.

Cds superstores will launch the first two new shops in plymouth and exeter, with former staff given priority in the recruitment process. 408 wilko Stores Closed in august, leading to thousands ofjob losses. Youre live with bbc news. Lets turn to the situation in israel and how Israeli Citizens are feeling about the prospect of that much anticipated Ground Offensive. I want to show you these statistics from the israeli newspaper maariv, which published a new poll on friday. It asked if the military should immediately escalate to a large scale Ground Offensive, 49 said it would be better to wait. And 29 of israelis are in favour of carrying out a Ground Offensive is needed now, and 22 were undecided. These results contrasted with a previous poll that that found 65 support for a major Ground Offensive. Live now tojotam confino, who is the Foreign Editor ofjewish news. He joins us from tel aviv. Good to see you. We just read out figures, in terms of support for a Ground Offensive. Does that tie in with what you are hearing and from people that youre speaking to . Absolutely. I would say 50 of the people i speak to are very worried about a Ground Offensive because they know that the mount israel launches its offensive, the send soldiers and tanks into gaza, the chances of getting the 200 hostages released significantly decreases. It is just a fact. Many of them will be killed in fighting between hamas and israel and that is why they are hesitating, they are calling on the government now to do everything they can to get the hostages out before they launch a Ground Offensive. We have other people who are still in favour as we saw this poll saying, listen just a week ago, but still we have people who really declare these hostages as dead. We should think of them is that people not because i dont have sympathy for them but they simply dont think that you can hold up a Ground Offensive for so long when you have a Terrorist Organisation that needs to be eliminated now. It organisation that needs to be eliminated now. Organisation that needs to be eliminated now. It is a divisive issue obviously, eliminated now. It is a divisive issue obviously, and eliminated now. It is a divisive issue obviously, and of eliminated now. It is a divisive issue obviously, and of course| issue obviously, and of course people feel differently about an issue like this, but i wonder also about the concern that there must be, everyone knows in the military, if there is a big Ground Offensive they will of course also be high loss of life, young Israeli Soldiers being killed. Loss of life, young Israeli Soldiers being killed being killed. That is also a concern. Being killed. That is also a concern, many being killed. That is also a concern, many mothers i being killed. That is also a i concern, many mothers and being killed. That is also a concern, many mothers and fathers who have their children now waiting at the gaza border are extremely worried, but i would say, i think the concern really is more about the hostages because the soldiers have weapons, outnumbering hamas, much stronger militarily. Of course they are concerned about the children but i do think that the main concern here and the reason why people are shifting their view on this is because of the hostages. In the beginning of this mass atrocity that was hamas, the shock and all in all of israel and everyone agreed that israel should just eliminate him as now they are realising way a minute, this will be very bad for our hostages because they will likely be killed, they are being held underneath the ground in tunnels, and if hamas is with its back against the wall and see soldiers coming in, i dont think we should expect them to release hostages, on the contrary, they would likely kill them as they also get kill. Hagar the contrary, they would likely kill them as they also get kill. How are israelis feeling them as they also get kill. How are israelis feeling about them as they also get kill. How are israelis feeling about the israelis feeling about the Leadership Netanyahu . Israelis feeling about the leadershi netan ahu . ,. , Leadership Netanyahu . Good question. I can cite a recent Leadership Netanyahu . Good question. I can cite a recent poll Leadership Netanyahu . Good question. I can cite a recent poll saying Leadership Netanyahu . Good question. I can cite a recent poll saying 80 , i can cite a recent poll saying 80 , extremely high in israel, i dont remember the last time 80 of israel agreed on i think, they think that mr netanyahu should take responsibility now for this massive failure. He is the only senior person who hasnt done so, the chief of the military, the chief of the intelligence and the Defence Minister of all personally taken responsibility for this massive failure. Netanyahu is the only one who insists not on taking responsibility despite them being in charge 13 years in the past two decades, and his strategy towards a hamas is basically what we are seeing now, allowing millions dollars to go in suitcases from qatar into gaza, appeasing her mass in the way it to go, that he refuses. He says we will launch an investigation when this is over and he says, i am responsible for the future. It is a very clever way of not taking responsibility. A lot of people are curious, he cantjust take responsibility, as the statesman youre supposed to be. We have been talking in the past 20 seconds or so, but we have also had a new figure released by the Health Ministry in gaza, run by hamas of course, saying the death toll has hit 7326. I yesterday at the same time, it was 7000, it has gone up 300 as israel is still a country in agony over what it has been through, and this probably is still a deep sense of shock about what they have been through, how is this aspect of the story being covered, the pain and death toll in gaza . It is being covered, and death toll in gaza . It is being covered. But and death toll in gaza . It is being covered, but of and death toll in gaza . It is being covered, but of course and death toll in gaza . It is being covered, but of course it and death toll in gaza . It is being covered, but of course it is and death toll in gaza . It is being covered, but of course it is not i covered, but of course it is not something that preoccupies israel. Currently they are looking at their own losses, at Dismantling Hamas and looking at the 228 hostages held inside gaza. If you ask israelis what they think about the loss of civilians in gaza, they will of course say we would prefer if we could take 2 Million People out of gaza, leave hamas and islamichhad in there and then have a full on war with them but that is not reality, though it is not their top priority, it simply isnt. The top priority, the hostages and Dismantling Hamas. That is what the israelis are prioritising right now. That is what the israelis are prioritising right now. What do Eole Prioritising right now. What do people think prioritising right now. What do people think in prioritising right now. What do people think in israel prioritising right now. What do people think in israel is prioritising right now. What do people think in israel is the i prioritising right now. What do | people think in israel is the end game here, if they look in the months ahead . Do they imagine that gaza will have to be reoccupied potentially, how do they see the whole region potentially being . It is one of the main questions that still remain unanswered. The only thing we have got from the government of italy that israel have no intention intention of re occupying gaza. Most israelis agree that if they go in and remove hamas, they will De To Occupy Gaza again at least for some time, so i think most people realise this is the most realistic scenario. What comes after as a whole different thing. Some would like to occupy gaza, many on the right wing and far would like to occupy gaza again. Many israelis would prefer the Palestinian Authority to take control of gaza and somehow of course also discuss the idea of having. It is a very divisive issue depending on what side of the border you are on. Good issue depending on what side of the border you are on. Border you are on. Good to get your thou~hts.

Things looking very british summertime comes to an end, and we are seeing things looking very autumnal, unsettled and changeable over the next few days. Some heavy downpours of rain for many of us, and blustery wind at times too. Low pressure is anchored out to the west of us at the moment, so low Pressure Systems and showers are rotating around that low pressure, driving in this area which could make the rain saturday into sunday. It is Eastern Scotland that will see the heaviest of the rain, perhaps up to 100 millimetres by the end of saturday falling on saturated ground, so the potential of furtherFlooding Problems. Today we have got that rain sitting across Eastern Scotland, windy in the north east. Elsewhere, some sunshine, particularly further to the south west but also a scattering of showers moving in on a south westerly breeze. Temperatures 10 16, a little cooler across the far north of scotland. This evening and overnight, keep cloud and outbreaks of rain, further south clear spells, some mist and fog patches for central areas, but heavy, thundery showers around parts of Southern England and some of these irish sea coasts. It isnt going to be cold or frosty, but it could be quite a murky start. The mist and fog clears away, and again we have got more cloud and rain for parts of southern and Eastern Scotland, north east england, a few showers elsewhere but more persistent, Heavy Rain Moving in from the south later in the day, thunderstorms and perhaps some localised flooding across parts of Southern England. Dont forget the clocks go back by one hour through the early hours of sunday morning, so 2am becomes 1am again. Through sunday, this area of low pressure drifts northwards and we have the tail end of this front sitting across Eastern Scotland where we really could do without even more rainfall accumulating, so we could see further Flooding Problems here on sunday. Further south some sunshine, again around parts of Southern England and into wales that we can see the bulk of the heavy, thundery downpours, blustery winds around as well. Some sunshine for the likes of eastern england, and temperatures in the mid teens. But it isntjust unsettled into the end of october but the start of november too. Plenty of showers in the forecast. Goodbye for now. This is bbc news. The headlines israels military says its conducted a new ground raid in gaza overnight striking dozens of hamas targets and killing a senior commander, who helped plan the October The 7th attacks. Gazas hamas run Health Ministry says 7,326 people have now been killed in the strip
