israel is preparing to send troops to the gaza strip after the attack by hamas militants, we are talking about this on bbc news ukraine live from london, i am yevhennia shedlovska. israel is building up its forces, rallying the army. and armored vehicles near the gaza sector continues to block and shell this territory and at the same time strengthens the defense of the border with lebanon, being wary of attacks from there as well. bbc correspondents work near the gaza strip in gaza itself, on the israel -lebanon border, so we'll show what

's going on there, but first about blinken's visit, it was another manifestation of american support for israel. us secretary of state, anthony blinken came to tel aviv, met with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu , as netanyahu condemned the brutality of hamas , said that israel has the right to self-defense, but it is important how it does it, it is important not to harm civilians, said blinkin in fact, he was talking about what president biden had said before when he called on israel to follow the rules of war when bombing gaza. after israel , blinkin goes to other countries of the region to for in his words, to prevent the expansion of this conflict. and by the way, the fact that the united states previously sent an aircraft carrier to the mediterranean sea is also one of the warnings to others. and blinkin will communicate with the leaders of other countries about the release of hostages. hostages captured by hamas during the attack.

in general, to understand the scale of hamas's attack on israel, you need to look at this map. in green, it marks the places where hamas militants broke through the barriers from the gas sector on saturday, october 7. the place of the attacks is indicated in red. the border around the gas sector - these fences and concrete walls are buried in the ground to prevent the attack of militants through the tunnels. the fact that palestinian militants broke through this border. in different places was unprecedented, they beat 1,300 people, thousands of people were injured and took 100-150 hostages. bbc correspondent jeremy bowen saw how the israeli military gassed when taking hostages there, and in general how the israeli defense forces prepare to storm the sector. in the fields and farms along the border. fence

israeli soldiers create points for future invasion of gas. in kibbutz beri, regular units and some of the more than 3,000 mobilized reservists are preparing for the order to enter gaza, which most israelis believe will come. the build-up of troops we see here is definitely the clearest evidence to me that israel is preparing for a ground... operation in gas, and if you add to that the wartime government that was formed the day before, it's clear where things are going. in these safe rooms, millions of israelis are praying, waiting, now scared because their security assumptions have fallen apart, their government says what it is doing in gaza to protect them, but just a few kilometers from this family, vashkelon is challenging israel's actions... in just a few days,

israel has caused enormous damage to gaza. international humanitarian law obliges combatants to protect the lives of civilians. israel insists all this is legitimate self-defense against hamas. i lost my father, brother, uncle, two cousins, two other family members and my pregnant wife. i am one, but so is israel cut off the supply of water, food, fuel and electricity to more than 2 million people and killed hundreds of civilians. palestinian communities in these densely populated areas are now in ruins. the un says that the necessary supplies of food, fuel and water must be available to the civilian population. we left the house thinking we would be back in an hour. we left our belongings, money, food and everything we had - now there are fifty people in the house without

food, water and electricity. i don't know how we will provide our children with food. i'm looking under the rubble here for leftover lentils and rice, though a little for your children. a video of last saturday's hamas attack is still circulating in israel. surveillance cameras show two women trying to escape from hamas fighters. somehow he misses the mark. armed israelis arrive. a man who wanted to kill women either retreated or died. a hospital near tel aviv shows the tension in israel. a government minister visiting the hospital was met with a fierce reception. the nurse shouts that the civilians helped them as much as they could, but the government did not give them anything. build-up of military force, perhaps dampens the nervousness of the israelis. the minister

of defense said: we will wipe hamas off the face of the earth. at the same time, in the gas sector, hospitals may very soon be overcrowded. dig into the morgue when there is no electricity, the red cross warns of this. the gas sector is without electricity, so the hospitals are running on generators, but they are running out of fuel, israel is blocking all supplies to the area and says it will not lift the blockade until the militants release the hostages. the israeli military continues to carry out airstrikes, resulting in deaths in the gaza strip more than 1400 people. among the dead, according to palestinian officials. hundreds of children and women and more than 6,000 people were injured. the gas sector is densely populated. more than 2 million people live in this territory. one of the heavily bombed places is the jebalia refugee camp. correspondent of the bbc's arab service, adnan

albursh, visited this camp. i am now on my way to the jebali camp in northern gaza. everywhere on the road i meet people who are running away. from that area due to israeli airstrikes that had not stopped all last night. here you can see now only refugees, columnar smoke everywhere, the smell of gunpowder in the air. life here is now practically impossible, electricity, water and internet are cut off, mountains of garbage have accumulated, there is a stench, and this poses a threat to the health of people who live in this district, and there is a school right next to it, meanwhile, smoke is rising near the center, which serves as a shelter , and people are forced to flee from the same center to which they ran the day before, hiding from intense bombardment, they ran out of the school premises and do not know where to turn next. tell me what's going on here? this boy is suffocating

as you can see, a part of the building was destroyed, fragments and debris were falling everywhere. everywhere was bombed in this camp, we have a patient. with an attack of suffocation, this child has already had a heart operation, and now he has also suffocated, there is no water, there is no electricity, and without this there is no life. we have a war every day, we lose our homes, our children, my husband is a martyr, my son is a martyr, and the rest of my children are wounded. and now about the situation in the north of israel, on the border with lebanon, the israeli military is also intensifying. its presence, a part mobilized reservists are sent there to the northern border, because it remains an open question whether the lebanese hezbollah group will intervene in the conflict. hezbollah, like hamas in the united states, britain and elsewhere, is considered a terrorist

organization, and iran supports and finances both of these groups. so will israel have to fight on several fronts? on the border of israel and lebanon these days. there was shelling, an exchange of fire between the israeli military and hezbollah, as bbc correspondent anna foster says, the situation there tense maybe you can see, there on the line the hill looks like a faint gray line, it's actually a high wall that marks the border between israel and lebanon, it was a village that was divided in half, half of it remained in israel and half is now in lebanon, and also i want you to look over there. there's a hill just behind me where you can see a hezbollah observation point sticking out of the treetops, the locals were showing me a video of what happened here the day before because hezbollah fighters had infiltrated them across the border. in that video, you can hear the sounds of gunfire and

see men there on the hillside. actually, as said, it was a serious situation. because three israel defense forces soldiers were killed, one of them a senior deputy... little incidents like this here on the border are now a really serious concern. even this morning, hezbollah fired an anti-tank missile at israel again, and the defense forces. responded with fighter jets, fired at hezbollah positions in lebanon. of course, a lot of attention is currently focused on gaza, the gaza perimeter and what is there will happen, but there are now concerns around the world that if something happens here, it could potentially suddenly escalate the war in the region. you remember in 2006, when israel and lebanon were fighting a devastating war for over a month or so, especially if you look at the us, they moved ships into that region, they moved. aircraft carrier in the mediterranean sea. much of this is connected with what is happening in gas, however, much with the fear

that a new front may open here. missiles were also fired from syrian territory overnight, and that's a lot of things that may not be possible are the ones we talk about first, but it's a really serious underlying problem. and after saturday's attack by hamas militants, israel mobilized 360,000 reservists, reservists ready for battle. bbc correspondent clive myra found out how this was done in such a short time. an israeli military base is located just an hour's drive from tel aviv. in front of her are numerous cars on both sides of the road. they belong to israeli reservists, of different ages, who are united by one thing, the desire to fight. thousands of people came here after the state called on the reservists to gather, not fleeing the draft, as it was before, in

previous crises, no, this is the largest mobilization of reservists in the entire history of israel. the authorities called on everyone to join, even those who live abroad. 28-year-old yasha yakovlev lives in austria, but the day after the hamas attack, he left his wife and two small children at home. boarded a plane and returned to israel. now there is nothing more important, neither my work, nor my studies, nothing, not even my family, only our task and what we do here is more important than your family unfortunately we are in a situation now where i have to say this i never imagined i would ever say something like this another fighter jet this is the second in the last few minutes. i really didn't think i would ever say something like that, that there is anything in the world more important than my family, but unfortunately reality

has changed and here we are, lion shelley and his girlfriend lee gilsberg on holiday in portugal but now trying to get back home. it was really difficult psychologically to listen to everyone these stories are from home, being away from our families, from ours. friends, lev must return to the army, and i want to help in any way i can. as much as we can. paul charney was an actor from great britain, he was born in israel, but has lived in london for more than 20 years. and now he is trying to call the israeli military. oh, there seems to be a connection. but the bad news, he is told

he may be too old for service, he is 51, and what did your wife say? at first she said: no, you will not go, you are old, you you don't know what you're doing, you haven't fought in a long time, you won't go, and i said, if not me, then who, if not me on the front line, then who? invisible connections between people. we are getting stronger and all of israel is hurting as another reservist says goodbye to his family to protect the land so many call home. and in order to better understand the conflict between israel and the palestinians, one must pay attention to history. on our website bbc.ua, today we talk about the borders of israel and why they are still not fully defined, maps that explain you can see and read the history of the region for 100 years on our website bbc.ua. with that i say goodbye to you, see you

we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00. my greetings, this is svoboda live, my name is vlasta lazur, the main news and trends of the last day, more in the next hour. avdiyivka, during the storming of the city, the russian military lost more than 30 armored vehicles, managed to advance a little, but so far have not achieved any significant success in this, they report military journalists, what is happening on the approaches to the city, as well as in the city itself. about this literally in a minute. a slowdown in american aid to ukraine may hinder the counteroffensive of the armed forces. this is what the western press writes. polls in the us show that fewer and fewer americans are in favor of continued aid to ukraine, and official washington continues to repeat that it will be with ukraine for as long as it takes.

we will continue to explore this topic today, especially now against the background of the war in israel. well, actually, the war in israel, we talked with the ambassador of israel in ukraine and we will also talk with the israeli military expert, why israel does not start a ground attack on gas, which has been announced for several days in a row, and what the us secretary of state anthony arrived in the country with today blinken, more on that later, svoboda life. military analysts and western journalists report that during the storming of the city. avdiyivka, in donetsk region, the russian military lost more than 30 armored vehicles, managed to advance a little, but have not yet reached some significant successes. about the active offensive of the russian army in the avdiyiv area. i would like to remind you, as of october 10, on the map of the deeppstate military operations, the advance of russian troops in the area of ​​the village was estimated at approximately 2 km.

the american institute for the study of war reported visual confirmation of the continued advance of russian troops to the west of avdiivka from both flanks. they advanced to the settlements - the stepove and northern settlements, 6-8 km from the city. analysts of the institute also noted qualitative changes in russia. troops, according to experts, russian servicemen learned the lessons learned in ukraine and began to work more effectively with means of radio-electronic warfare, artillery, and allegedly improved communication between units. well, the polish military analyst, kondrat muzyka, who also monitors the movement of russian troops in ukraine, draws attention to the fact that on october 10 alone, more than 100 attacks were recorded, this is the highest figure since march, difficult times are probably ahead - he wrote on his twitter. well, the president of ukraine volodymyr wrote about the situation in avdiivka this morning zelensky he stated that the ukrainian forces in this area, i quote, are holding their positions.

well, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, in its morning report on the situation at the front, writes that in the avdiyivka area, the ukrainian military repelled more than 10 attacks by russian troops and another 10 in the stepovoy area. i would like to remind you that the avdiivsky district was created back in 2014 and pro-russian forces call it the most powerful in donbas. biddiivka is about 12 km from the center of occupied donetsk, that's for understanding. well, the russian ones troops have been trying to capture avdiivka since the beginning of the war. why does the russian army have such a massive attack on avdiyivka, the head of the avdiyiv city military administration, vitaly barabash, shared his thoughts on the air of our colleagues of the donbas realia program. first, they will pull away. strength, and attention from bakhmut, from the zaporizhia direction, where they have, well, serious problems in my opinion , secondly, avdiivka is, well, the dominant height, and

if they declare that they still plan to leave at the end of the year on one border donetsk region, well, it is clear that they cannot physically leave tela avdiivka, they need it, and secondly, all these stories of theirs are sacred, they need to win. there have been no victories for a long time, avdiivka, she is like a bone in the throat since the 14th year, no matter how many attempts , they did not succeed, especially avdiivka, she is very close to donetsk there, and serhii tsehotsky, officer 59 , has already joined our broadcast of the separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov gadziuk. good evening, i think something happened with our connection, i hope that we are literally a second friend, and we will reconnect and talk about what is really happening in avdiivka, i will remind you that mass attacks on the city began to appear in the media from

october 10, avdiivka is completely near it is actually very close to the suburbs of donetsk, as i already said, about 12 km, and since the time of the ato, since 2014 , there has been a concentration area of ​​ukrainian troops there, well, the last ones. you can say two days, already the third day, it is reported that there will be a mass attack on avdiivka, to me they say that the guest with us has already reappeared, serhii tsehotskyi, good day, good evening, serhii, what, glory to the heroes, what is happening in avdiivka right now? for the third day there is a battle, a continuous, brutal battle, persistent on their part. oh, the personnel practically did not rest, but during this entire period, there was no sleep, there was no opportunity to rest, let’s say this, that is

, the battle is intensively going on, we are intensively destroying the enemy, on all areas on our, our, where our personnel is located , this is the situation, some are military experts who track the situation literally on these maps and from the report. and the maps we're showing now say it's the biggest attack of the entire war, is that right? yes, this, this can practically be compared to the first day , on february 24, as it was, they marched en masse, well, only it was on a separate small section of the front, and what do you connect it with, why suddenly, what happened, why now ? as far as it has already become known, they were preparing for this in advance, they... the attempt, you see, does not work on bakhmut, the zaporizhia direction too

they are suffering and retreating, that is why they are trying here, somehow in front of their boss, putin, they will justify their efforts as generals and so on, but i want to say a lot that they have learned a lot during this time, that they have learned a lot in us, that is, from our assault groups, that is, how we capture their positions, at first, on the first day of the 10th, they attacked en masse , now they will try to make these assaults in more mobile smaller groups, but... but remain on the battlefield, let's say or come back with injuries, but you just said that they learned a lot, i literally just before that also quoted the american institute for the study of war, they also noted in their current report that the russian troops drew conclusions from previous, well, from previous experience in ukraine and now it is better and more effective, they are fighting, that is, you confirm

it, well, it is better, yes, more effective, no, because it is ineffective for them, if i say that only in the last day, as of 5 p.m., about 200 have been neutralized their, following, fighters, let's say this, it's about 50 to 50, about 100 killed and about 100 wounded, this is only for the last day, but the battle is still going on, the battle is going on now, and a big one. again, the amount of equipment, that is, tanks, bmps, and amphibious assault vehicles, well, these are losses that they will not be able to make up very soon, and what is this report about the destruction of 30 armored vehicles, if i am not mistaken, well, this is stated in this is also reported by ukrainian and foreign military experts, that there was some kind of large-scale battle there, no, it is absolutely, in different places,

this, i will say, i... i can say, for the direction of our brigade of responsibility, that we knocked out, knocked out, neutralized four bmps, two, that is, two t-72 tanks, two units of amphibious assault vehicles, that's all. already irreversible, oh, and we also had three units of bm landing combat vehicle, and two tanks were damaged, but this is only in our direction, don’t forget that we have both on the right and on the left... neighbors and there is also long-range aviation and artillery that works and so on, we are just writing down our account, what is confirmed, today there was also a report that the bridge between donetsk and horlivka was destroyed, i understand that for the russian military it performed some, some strategic tasks, well, including, but maybe you know a little more about it, what happened there,

well, it turned out... the fact that this bridge connected horlivka and donets by the shortest road, now it will no longer have such opportunities, that is, our command must have dreamed that we would use it, but, considering the circumstances, which took place was accepted the decision to neutralize it, well, so it was done, but in general, so that you understand, practically the entire dones is under our control and there are many surprises for ours, the opponents are waiting for what is ahead, so it is not just like that, they just go to the positions, there they ask to take them over and so on, surprises and everything ahead, thank god that there is a decent command in the armed forces of ukraine, i mean the commander-in-chief first of all and the commanders of the directions, that's why we will still see the results are very interesting, in the near future, by the way, in the ukrainian segments of social networks, now

i see it's going on... but how did you manage to destroy this bridge? let's do it those people who will take it upon themselves, yes, who have put in the effort, it will be fair, good, and then what is the strategic, possible significance, now avdiyivka fulfills for both sides, i want to ask, of course, that this is ukrainian territory, and the main thing for the ukrainian army is to defend the city and prevent it from being captured, but you nevertheless, if we consider the pessimistic and optimistic scenario, if the russian army can capture avdiivka, what will happen then, or if, on the contrary, the ukrainian army is driven away from avdiyivka, like the russian troops, then how can the situation change, well, look , avdiyivka and donetsk are practical, it is the outskirts of donetsk, avdiyivka, let's say this, for us today it is strategic, let's say, it is important insofar as it is, but this is

our city and for us, every meter of land is important
