But for israel, everything is targeted.

There is more analysis on the bbc news website on our live page. So what more do we know about the co ordinated attack by hamas . Heres our security correspondent Frank Gardner. So, this map here gives you some idea of the extent of hamass infiltration across the border from gaza into southern israel. These are 17 locations where we have verified the presence of Palestinian Militants in this attack. From up in space, this is what that area of southern israel looked like today. Just look at all that smoke coming from burning buildings. If we zoom in you can see the heat spots that weve enhanced so you can see them. Now, all these cross border infiltrations by Palestinian Militants taken together with the thousands of rockets fired at israel represent a massive Intelligence Failure from israel. It should have seen this coming because they had regular military patrols going along that border. This is footage taken some years earlier. But they had cameras, sensors, informants inside the militant groups. And yet hamas was able to charge through that border, crossing it with things like this bulldozer, paragliders, by land, sea and air, and all the while, hamas has been sending more missiles into places like this, tel aviv, this office and residential block here, hitting buildings while the israeli airforce hits gaza. However this ends, it will go down as one of the worst failures of Israeli Intelligence in 50 years. Live now to ourjerusalem bureau chief, jo floto. Thank you forjoining us. Just bring on how things are fair you are. Still getting hundreds of rockets that have been fired overnight from israel, they sustained an attack by the Israeli Military, the death toll on both sides is rising, approaching 300 on both sides, we think. Hamas havejust told us 300 on both sides, we think. Hamas have just told us that they will release the numbers of hostages that they claim to have taken into the gaza strip and the next hour or so and we are also told by the Israeli Military they will let us know how many other soldiers have died, they say it is a substantial matter very much an ongoing situation for the really military telling us they are sweeping through about eight remaining towns and villages on the gaza border to make sure there are no militants still hiding out in those locations and they are proceeding with a major evacuation of Israeli Citizens from the south, so thousands of people are going to be bussed out and that may give us an indication of the kind of operation the anticipate unfolding in the next few days. Just operation the anticipate unfolding in the next few days. In the next few days. Just looking at the bbc in the next few days. Just looking at the bbc website, in the next few days.
