air of the ferocity of the attack by hamas gunmen on southern israel last saturday. the israeli defence forces have today been recovering the bodies of civilians, including babies, from a rural community, just a mile from the border with gaza. whole families are reported to have been killed. israeli soldiers on the ground have described what they've seen as a massacre. tonight we'll hear from our correspondents across the region. from our international editor, jeremy bowen, who has been to that village, kfaraza, where jeremy bowen, who has been to that village, kfar aza, where the bodies are being recovered. lucy williamson has been to the area near re'im where hundreds were murdered in a music festival. and we will be inside gaza itself, under siege, with our correspondent rushdi abualouf. but our first report tonight is withjeremy, and a warning, you may find some of the images in his report distressing. the first few days of war at this small israeli community called kfar aza are a microcosm of israel's trauma and a glimpse of what might come next. israeli troops only seized back full control of the kibbutz this morning. it is one of a series of small israeli villages along the gaza wire. when we arrived they were still firing on houses across on the gaza side. israeli combat soldiers only started their fight back here at around six o'clock on saturday evening, around 12 hours after hamas attacked. these men are experienced soldiers, combat reservists. they said fighting their way back in against a determined enemy was hard going. how difficult is the fighting? you cannot imagine. have you ever had to do anything _ you cannot imagine. have you ever had to do anything like _ you cannot imagine. have you ever had to do anything like this - you

burning homes and killing families according to the soldiers. as it took so long to secure the kibbutz the army couldn't recover all the civilian dead until this morning. these are the bodies of israelis. decomposing hamas gunmen are still lying there where they were killed. the murder of israeli civilians here was without doubt a war crime, but what about the palestinian civilians israel is killing on hamas as you know, all armies have obligations under the rules of war to protect civilian life even in war zones. are you doing this, with this level of air strikes going on at the moment

aggressive and very strong, but we keep our moral and our value. we are israeli, we arejewish, and although it's a very difficult theatre with a lot of problems, people are staying on the battlefield who will suffer a lot, you can see what is happening here, but we want to kill the enemy, not the civilians. but here, but we want to kill the enemy, not the civilians.— not the civilians. but in only a few da s not the civilians. but in only a few days israel— not the civilians. but in only a few days israel has _ not the civilians. but in only a few days israel has inflicted _ not the civilians. but in only a few days israel has inflicted immense | days israel has inflicted immense damage in gaza. they have cut off supplies of food, water and power and killed hundreds of civilians. palestinians suffering, israel says, is the responsibility of hamas. israel has already been accused of breaking rules of war and that will get louder as more palestinians are wounded and killed. at kfar aza israeli troops are thinking of what is next, perhaps a ground invasion of gaza. it was tough enough for the israelis to come in to recapture this area, these small border communities. it is a different order of military challenge to cross the wire, to get into gaza, potentially to fight house to house at a time when hamas will have made its plans and will be waiting. some of these men are moving north in case war starts with hezbollah, the powerful lebanese militia backed by iran. what happened here is why israel is shaken to its core, wyatt insists it must break hamas and it points to the danger and uncertainty ahead. i'm joined now by our international editor, jeremy bowen, who's in the city of ashkelon in southern israel. as we were coming on air we were getting details of what is being described as a massacre in this kibbutz. what more do you have? it seems pretty clear there was a mass occur because, as i said in the army didn't get in there, the israeli army didn't even start to try to regain the area for 12 hours after hamas got in there, so basically they could rampage around. senior officers there told me the kibbutz civilian guard, which was composed of people with military experience, that they fought, they tried to fight back, but there were not many of them and they were killed and those bodies were among those recovered today. outside, as you saw in the piece, there was a woman who was under a purple sleeping bag. one of the soldiers said to me that, an officer said to me that she had been beheaded. i did not move the covering to see if he was telling the truth, but she was undoubtedly killed in the front garden of her own house, so i think the word massacre is appropriate to what happened there. what struck me in kfar aza is that it really does sum up kfar aza is that it really does sum up all the reasons why israelis are so shocked, traumatised, why they are so angry, why they want notjust revenge, but the government wants to change the strategic equation in gaza so hamas can't do anything like this again. but this is the middle east, it is a volatile area, and the way ahead is not smooth for anybody. indeed, ok, jeremy bowen, reporting for us, thank you. palestinian health officials say the number of people killed by retaliatory israeli rocket attacks in gaza has now risen to at least 830, with well over 4,000 injured. the united nations says israel's complete siege of the territory announced yesterday, deprives civilians of goods essential for their survival and breaks international humanitarian law. the gaza strip, or simply gaza, is palestinian territory with israel on its northern border and egypt to the south. it's a tiny sliver of land, when you consider the number of people living there. 2.3 million in an area just 25 km long and 10 km wide. the largest settlement is gaza city. the ruling authority is the militant group, hamas, in control since 2007. it's committed to israel's destruction, hoping to create an islamic state. the uk has detonated hamas as a terror organization, but it's israel that controls gaza's airspace, shoreline the un says 80% of gaza's population survives on international aid, human rights watch has called gaza an open—air prison. israeli rockets can cause mass casualties in the densely populated territory, and the war and of back streets will make any israeli defense force ground operation extremely difficult. it's believed hamas has built a vast network of tunnels like these, in which gunmen can hide and be re—supplied with weapons. if israel decides to cross the border, the fighting will be bloody and intense. you get a real sense of how difficult that operation will be. the bbc has a rare insight into the situation on the ground in gaza, with our correspondent, rushdi abualouf. he's lived there his entire life. it's too dangerous for rushdi to report live for us this evening , so he's just this update. we can see the scale of destruction in this neighbourhood. it was targeted yesterday. many buildings were destroyed, an ii—storey building was knocked down two days ago but the destruction in this area has been targeted last night. israel has been targeted last night. israel has carried out 200 air strikes targeting hamas infrastructure. they hit many buildings, government buildings belonging to the hamas authority. but look at the scale of destruction in the area and how civilian homes were completely affected and some of them were completely destroyed. this gentleman just told us we have to leave the area because it seems the israelis area because it seems the israelis are warning residents of the area they should leave, they are going to target another building in the area. but look at the scale of destruction. this is happening, with israelis targeting housing, shops, ministries and mosques, everything. the whole neighbourhood was levelled to zero. this is one of the most important economic hubs for gaza. as you can see, most of the shops were damaged, houses were damaged, the infrastructure. this is the street that leads to the southern part of the city and it is completely blocked. , a ., ., ., blocked. rushdi abualouf with that u date. the first reports of saturday's attack came from a music festival in re'im in the south of israel — near the border with gaza. hamas gunmen arrived in force and killed at least 260 people there. the attackers then continued their rampage into the surrounding villages. and middle east correspondent lucy williamson has been to re'im to hear the testimony of people there. and you may find her report distressing. the road that led to an open air party, now an open—air crime scene. the pathway of hamas gunmen mapped by their weapons and their bodies. their

appalling war. back to you, sophie, with the rest of the days news. back here, this is a war that is very close to home for many communities in britain. our religion editor aleem maqbool looks at how families here have been affected. ahmed najjar is an economist in london. he tells of bad news he received from the place he grew up, gaza. one of my cousins, we just found out that he was killed on saturday, in the evening. ahmed says he's worried for the rest of his extended family with so many airstrikes. as you can imagine, the situation there is not easy to really find out how people were killed, or whether they are under the rubble, or whether they are still alive. well, for so many people in this country, these horrors feel like they're being played out much closer than in a distant land. and even if they don't have direct ties to the victims, in many cases, it's still having an impact on daily life. many britishjews have talked of a profound sense of connection tojews in pain, wherever they are. but there are also fears of a rise in anti—semitism. there's been an increase in security around a lot ofjewish schools. there is nothing left. nothing is left. sharon lifshitz is living a nightmare. she's heard nothing from her parents since this israeli community was attacked and burnt to the ground, where entire families were gunned down and from which dozens have gone missing. she's worried about reprisals if she shows pictures of her mother and her father, who spent his retirement driving palestinian patients from the gaza border to hospitals. there is a lot of forces that try to make us feel that the others are not human. and i think we have to go back to remembering that these are humans. this is my mum, but she could be your mum, you know, and she could be anyone's mum. and i don't wish that on anyone. sharon is still clinging to the hope her parents will be returned to safety. aleem maqbool, bbc news. you can get more news and analysis on the

uk and ireland have been named by uefa as the hosts of the euro 2028 men's football tournament. the joint bid was unopposed after turkey pulled out last week, with the fa claiming it could give a £2.5 billion boost to the economy. our sports editor, dan roan, reports. the host for the uefa euro 2028 is united kingdom and the republic of ireland. it felt a formality, but finally it was official confirmation that the five nations behind this bid would stage the biggest sports event since london 2012. the face of today's presentation telling me just how much it meant. having a major tournament

tournament. the question now, how many of the five host nations will qualify for their own event? dan roan, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. we've been looking at some big contrasts this month. take a look at southern england where we've had lots of sunny and warm weather but also quite a few areas that have not seen a drop of rainfall this month but that
