out of water and oxygen. in a statement, dr mohammed abu salmiya said israeli troops had blown up the main water supply line. he described the conditions as tragic, with patients screaming from thirst. and he said israeli tanks are surrounding the hospital, drones are flying overhead and soldiers are moving inside. rushdi abualouf reports from gaza. all communication is down tonight in gaza, and is going to be down for a long time because this time is not by israel. it's because of the lack of fuel. the telecommunication company announced this morning that they are running out of fuel. and since the egyptians are only allowing about 25,000 liters of fuel to to run the essential transport transporting of aid from gaza into from egypt into gaza only going to be used by the un. all of the communication is down, internet is down, and the two mobile carrier here is down. and getting the information is very difficult. last call i made to our contact in shifa hospital. he was talking about tanks and hundreds of soldiers are storming the hospital again, searching from room to room, calling in loudspeakers, the people to go out. he said they were shooting randomly into the building, destroying many cars and also bulldozing some of the external wall to the hospital. he said tanks were inside the the hospital and he was screaming on the phone saying that this is maybe the last call since 4:00 in the morning here local time. no information was available from the gaza city in the north and here in the south, the sound of israeli drones and sound of israeli f—i6 are flying overhead. and there is no no information about any sort of fresh israeli attacks because all of the communication is down. it's extremely difficult to contact people in the north and in gaza city and also communication among the people here. about a million people are displaced in the southern gaza. tonight is also difficult. the israeli army took the bbc into a small part of al—shifa hospital, and showed it rifles, ammunition and body armour it says hamas had hidden there. the idf also said it had found laptops containing photos and videos of hostages held by hamas, which is considered a terror organisation by the uk and many other western governments. israeli military restrictions meant that our correspondent lucy williamson wasn't allowed to speak to doctors or patients, but her words weren't censored, and she described what she saw. we're in an israeli military vehicle inside the gaza strip now. they're taking us towards gaza city. this area, we're passing through an area where the ground operation first began weeks ago now. and since then, the israeli army has fought its way methodically towards gaza city, towards the gates of the shifa hospital. and that's where they're taking us now. we're still being told to keep our lights off. are we going this way? well, the israeli army has been really searching through this hospital. you can see they've had to force the door of the mri room here to get inside. they've been looking for evidence of this being a hamas base, a place where hamas planned attacks. and they say that among the things they've uncovered are more than a dozen kalashnikovs, grenades, personal protective equipment, some of it with the hamas military brigade insignia on it. you can see some of them here hidden under these bags of medical supplies. we're also told that there have been laptops found with some information about the hostages. they also found some recent files that suggest this may have been a hamas operating base as recently as a few days ago. 0sama hamdan is a senior representative of hamas in lebanon. he's been giving a press conference and has been responding to the israeli claims that the al shifa hospital is a hamas stronghold. all those weapons were not in shifa. there is no center or control room for hamas in this hospital. we avoid all the hospitals all the time. the israelis, they have said that about rantisi hospital and they were lying. they said that about al-quds hospital and everyone realised that they were lying and now everyone is watching their lies. even with the support of the united states administration, which is a very silly and stupid support because you can'tjust believe netanyahu, who is a liar and everyone knows that. he was also asked about the israeli hostages being held in gaza. he refused to acknowledge they were hostages and insisted they want to release them. we started by saying we are ready to release them. in fact, we want to release them and send them back, although they are not in the hands of hamas, but we will work in order to bring them from everywhere in gaza. there was no conditions. in fact, at the beginning, netanyahu himself rejected to have them. we sent two americans and then we sent two israelis even with the rejection of netanyahu and his government. we have reached approximately a conclusion three times before through the mediators and each time netanyahu undermines that. so if anyone wants to see them back, he has to make his own pressure on netanyahu, no—one else. we are joined now by nawaf al—thani, former director of defense intelligence operations in qatar, and former defense attache�* to the us. thanks very much for being with us. we understand that you don't represent the qatari government now but if you can just explain to us, having done both, formally, can you explain what the relationship is between qatar intelligence, the us, israel, how they might be working together now, specifically when it comes to securing the release of some 240 hostages held by hamas although they deny that, as we have just heard but taken by ms on october seven. the other miguel, 0ctober seven. the other miguel, usually, and

- this is not theoretic. we have seen negotiations succeed and hostages being released, israelis and americans in the past, so this is a proven methodology and i think the qataris have to be given every chance to succeed and from what i am observing they are very optimistic, the israelis need to show more seriousness in their efforts towards releasing the hostages by cooperating with the negotiators in this process. cooperating with the negotiators in this process-— this process. what are you seeing that made you — this process. what are you seeing that made you optimistic - this process. what are you seeing that made you optimistic becausej this process. what are you seeing i that made you optimistic because we have spoken to many relatives of hostages here in the bbc who say

the track record of the qatari - the track record of the qatari negotiators. even as recently as during this conflict, we have seen the release of ukrainian children and return from russia to ukraine while the gaza conflict was going. plus the successes that i've mentioned in gaza before. that is the first reason for, i would believe, cautious optimism but optimism nonetheless. the other is the qataris are not given up on this. they have stated the prime minister and foreign minister have stated on the negotiating teams and stated on the negotiating teams and stated many times that they are committed to this process. but it is cautious optimism because the second part of this is a seriousness from the israelis to move forward. unfortunately, that optimism, while it is within me today, is diminishing day by day with every refusal for the israelis moving forward. ~ ., ., .,~ refusal for the israelis moving forward. ., ., forward. what do you make of the comments — forward. what do you

effective. we have already seen foreign nationals living in gaza through the negotiated process being able to leave in the hundreds. there are still gaza, unfortunately. the restrictions by the israelis on humanitarian aid and also people leaving gaza has hindered a lot of that but it all hinges on israel's seriousness for a ceasefire so the negotiations and other efforts towards stopping the killing of civilians, which is extremely unfortunate, that is the only thing that hinges on it and it returns to what the israelis will do.- that hinges on it and it returns to what the israelis

mentioned that the idea of negotiating is ingrained in me constitution and its heritage and its history, which is something quite rare in many countries where constitutional article does call for negotiation and peaceful resolution and de—escalation. so i think that is the driving force between everything that qatar has been doing, least of which the issue of hostage negotiation and the resolve of the conflict and peaceful resolution. thank you very much forjoining us from washington. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news.

below minus seven celsius, with some fog patches, too. but that is where we've seen some of the best of the sunshine today. whereas further south, this hook of cloud, which was named storm frederico by the french weather service, has brought some rain and some brisk winds in the far south of england and the channel islands. that is now clearing away south—eastwards. we do have this frontal system pushing in from the west, some outbreaks of rain with that. but actually quite a lot of dry weather as we end the afternoon and head into the evening. and then overnight, this band of cloud and rain will make some further progress eastwards. some showers following on behind. in the north east of scotland, if we hold on to clear skies once again, we will see some fog patches developing. temperatures again dropping well below freezing. and actually it is going to be a chilly night for many of us. a chilly start to friday morning. friday is going to be a quieter day. still a few residual weather fronts in the mix to start the day. but broadly speaking, this brief and quite weak ridge of high pressure will be just about in charge. so, yes, a bit of cloud to start off in eastern parts, a few showers out towards the west, but a decent amount of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, the winds relatively light. temperatures north to south, six to 13 degrees. and then a band of cloud and rain pushing into the south west of england later in the day. that rain will make some progress northwards and eastwards across the south west of england, wales, northern ireland. some other western parts turning wet as we head deeper into the evening and as we get into the start of the weekend, well, this frontal system drives eastwards. outbreaks of rain with that, low pressure firmly in charge for the weekend. but with south westerly winds, it is going to be mild. with that, though, we'll see quite a lot of rain, wet weather for many of us to start saturday morning. and even as the main rain band clears, we will see a mix of sunny spells and hefty, blustery, perhaps thundery showers. some strong winds — strongest winds likely to be in northern and northeastern parts. we could see gales in places and temperatures for most of us in double digits. in fact, cardiff and plymouth could get to 16 degrees, very mild for the time of year. into sunday further showers or longer spells of rain, the strongest winds this time across western and south western parts. there will be some spells of sunshine and still mild, just about all of us up into double digits. this is bbc news. the headlines: gaza's largest hospital says its run out of water and oxygen. israel takes the bbc inside al—shifa to see what it's found there. a bbc investigation
