You may have just seen pictures of Secretary Of State heading to israel to show the us support of israel, talking about how we stand against terrorism, also confirming that 22 americans have been killed. He said that that number may increase. We have also had the British Foreign secretary travelled to israel. He is there to show the uk support for israel. ~. ,. , israel. What we saw on saturday was an unprecedented israel. What we saw on saturday was an unprecedented event, israel. What we saw on saturday was an unprecedented event, even israel. What we saw on saturday was an unprecedented event, even in israel. What we saw on saturday was an unprecedented event, even in the turbulent history that israel has experienced. A mass Terrorist Atrocity that we know has taken the lives of over a thousand people, and many more injured. I was here predominantly to show solidarity to the israeli people, to provide support to the israeli government, and also to make sure that through its real� s response, they know that the uk will continue working to try and ensure peace in the region, prevent an escalation, particularly in the north and east of this country, and, of course, to look at how we support british nationals here in israel through these very, very difficult times. Lets move to the north of israel now. This shows you smoke rising from a village in lebanon goes to the border with israel. Israel has been shelling towns here in lebanon earlier. An israeli village close to the border there was targeted by anti tank fire. Earlier i spoke to anna foster and i asked her about the situation where she is. We anna foster and i asked her about the situation where she is. The situation where she is. We are in one of the the situation where she is. We are in one of the border the situation where she is. We arej in one of the border communities, tracking along the border all day. At the moment we are keeping our specific location a bit vague because over the last couple of hours as we were driving through the community we are in at the moment the siren sounded. In the south there has been a lot of that. Less so in the north, but the siren sounded and we took shelter. We happen to be with one of the local security teams. A lot of these. They are bringing a lot of extra Defence Forces here, the Israel Defense forces, but a lot of these communities have a group of local men, and it normally is men, who come together. They are armed, they will rendezvous at the location if they hear about a potential problem of the border. Israeli tv or reporting on a suspected infiltration from lebanon across this border. This morning, hezbollah fired an anti tank missile from lebanon into israel. Hezbollah. Israel then used their fighter jets to israel then used their fighterjets to target some hezbollah infrastructure of milk on the lebanese side. At the village i was at earlier, there was an infiltration by hezbollah fighters. Three Israeli Soldiers were killed, one of them very senior. The idf said they have ruled out an infiltration. The problem with this northern border is that if things escalate here, causes a real problem across the wider world, that is why there is a lot of International Anxiety about what happens on this Israel Lebanon Border right now. Is on the israel side of the border. We have a reporter on the lebanon side of the border. He said this update. The chinese Reporting Form has recently been shelled by israel. This is some of the damage caused by Israeli Shelling on this lebanese time. Several homes were hit. The local mosque was also hit by Israeli Shelling, and a local water tank that supplies the entire village. Three civilians were injured, thankfully not seriously. This comes after hezbollah claimed a cross border attack against an Israeli Military position. Hezbollah say this a tackle several casualties among Israeli Soldiers. They said that was in response to it as an Israeli Attack two days ago which killed hezbollah fighters. Up until this point this remains a sideshow to what is going on in gaza. That hezbollah wants to make it very clear that this can change at any moment. They have said that their attacks on israeli positions are both an act of solidarity with the palestinian factions fighting israel, and also an temp two liberate what remains of occupied lebanese territory from the israelis. It is one of the Top Priorities of western leaders to make sure that no one comes to the aid of the palestinian factions fighting israel and it is hezbollah� s priority to make sure that this remains a possibility. We are going to leave the border there and head south, looking at the border between gaza and egypt. Talks are continuing between the us, israel, the un and egypt in allowing some eight and potentially some residents out through the crossing at age eight. This crossing was shut on tuesday and it is still shut. This crossing has been the only way out of the blockaded territory. It had been operating until the strikes. The Secretary General of the arab league said the escalation in gaza is unprecedented and it might put pushed the region into the unknown. In an Opening Statement at the Arab League Foreign ministers meeting in cairo, Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned targeting civilians on both sides and called for an immediate ceasefire. He accused israel of imposing and apartheid upon palestinians and said he believes the only way out is via the two state solution. Our bbc arabic middle east correspondent sally nabil is in cairo. A short time ago she gave me this update on the possibility of a humanitarian corridor. So far this has been the main concern, crossing has been out of service. Now there are attempts to convince all sides to allow humanitarian corridor, what the Secretary General, antonio gutierrez, called for, it resonates across the meeting here in the arab league. They have expressed their concern as well for the humanitarian situation in gaza and the gravity of it. All of them called for the importance of assessing the humanitarian needs for the people in gaza who are now under a total israeli siege and they have no chance to communicate with the outside world after the crossing with egypt has become out of service due to the israeli bombardment. They say it is pretty urgent to try to make room for supplies to make their way into gaza. We know that the Egyptian Government and the egyptian red crescent has been preparing trucks to go into the strip, but now we dont know what is going to happen to them. We dont if arab mediators like arab egypt, like qatar, will convince the israeli side to stop bombing the crossing to allow the wounded to come here to egyptian hospitals and receive due medical care. Through the statements i have heard from the arab Foreign Ministers in the meeting today, there are huge concerns not only about the humanitarian condition, but about the possibility of expanding the scope of this fight to include other parties in the region. The Secretary General of the arab league said that we dont want to expand the scope of this fighting, so that the region might be pushed to the unknown and no one knows what will happen then. The un Secretary General, antonio guterres, gave a Statement Urging for the rapid access of humanitarian aid, food and water into gaza. About 220,000 palestinians are now sheltered in 92 unwra facilities across gaza. Un premises and all hospitals, schools and clinics must never be targeted. Un staff are working around the clock to support the people of gaza. And i deeply regret that some of my colleagues have already and i deeply regret that some of my colleagues have already paid the ultimate price. Crucial life saving supplies, including fuel, food and water, must be allowed into gaza. We need rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access now. I want to thank egypt for its constructive engagement to facilitate humanitarian access through the rafah crossing and to make the El Arish Airport available for critical assistance. There is no time to lose. Every moment counts. The attacks on israel by hamas militants came at a time when the us was brokering complex negotiations between israel and saudi arabia. The us says these diplomatic efforts may have been one of the factors behind the timing of the assault. Our analysis editor ros atkins has more. Theres a lot of attention on why hamas carried out the attack on israel now. And theres one factor america is highlighted. Heres one thing thats clear. Weve been actively working on trying to help israel and saudi arabia normalise their relations. Normalise here means to establish formal ties, such as Setting Up Embassies and creating other diplomatic and economic links. And america believes the hamas attack may connect to this push for normalization. Now, whos opposed to that . Hamas, his brother . Iran. So i think that speaks volumes. Hamas is an Islamist Militant Group based in gaza. Hezbollah. It is an Islamist Militant Group based in lebanon. Both groups are armed and funded by iran. All three consider themselves part of a resistance to israel. And on the hamas attack, the un is unequivocal. Its Secretary General says nothing can justify these acts of terror. But hamas has tried to justify the attack. It cites what it calls israels crimes against the palestinians and its repeated storming of al aqsa mosque. Thats a reference to the actions of Israeli Police atjerusalems most important holy site for muslims and forjews. And this year has been the deadliest on record for palestinians in the Israeli Occupied west bank, though israel has defended its actions throughout. Hamas will also have known its attack was almost 50 years to the day since a Surprise Attack by egypt and Syria On Thejewish holy day of yom kippur. There was Something Else in hamas list of grievances normalization, that same factor that america pointed to. So lets look at this, because whats being called normalization is, in fact, farfrom normal in the region, because for decades, most arab states didnt recognize the state of israel. In 2020 that started to change. The us brokered deals with the United Arab Emirates and bahrain in which they normalized relations with israel. But palestinians werent involved. Neither the Palestinian Authority in the west bank, led by mahmoud abbas, nor hamas, which controls gaza, and they both denounced the normalization deals. At the time, the bbc� Sjeremy Bowen explained that the new agreement breaks a Long Standing Arab Consensus that the price of normal relations with israel was independence for the palestinians, in other words, in the eyes of its critics, normalization weakens the palestinian cause. And now the us is brokering new Normalization Talks that are even more significant this time with saudi arabia, one of the regions most powerful countries. And in september, israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu visited washington, and he expressed hope that what he called a historic peace with the saudis was possible. I think such a peace would go a long way first to advance the end of the arab israeli conflict, achieve reconciliation between the islamic world and thejewish state, and advance a genuine peace between israel and the palestinians. And unlike previous Normalization Talks, this time, palestinians have been involved, but not all palestinians. In september, a high level saudi delegation visited the occupied west bank for the first time in decades. It met mahmoud abbas, leader of the Palestinian Authority. Now, to be clear, theres no deal yet. The us has said the talks are incredibly difficult. But to supporters of normalization, the prize here is huge. In the words of one israeli newspaper, saudi israel normalization would transform the middle east, but this push for better Saudi Israel Relations has left hamas wanting to derail the process. Hamas officials have mentioned that they want to send a message to their arab leaders that they cant be ignored, that arabs cantjust make deals with israel and expect to get peace. Iran had a message too. This is its Supreme Leader in early october before the hamas attack. Translation countries that use the gamble of normalization with the Zionist Regime as a method for themselves will lose and a loss awaits them. They are making a mistake. Zionist regime is a reference to israel. Iran refuses to use israels name. It also denies being behind the hamas attack, and america says its not seen evidence that it was. And if iran and hamas have points to make on normalization, so does israel. Since the attack, its Us Ambassador has urged everyone who has a stake in peace and normalization in the middle east should support an outcome that would deal a blow to iran and its proxies. To israel, to the un, the us, the uk, the eu and many others. No reason can justify this mass murder of civilians, this war crime, but in quite different ways. Hamas and america both say normalization was a factor in why this attack happened now. America and israels desire for normalisation is matched by hamas desire to stop it. For now, though, israel is in shock, in mourning and at war. Normalisation will have to wait. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news.
