sticks in general, what is known about the hostages taken by the hamas group during an unprecedented attack on israeli settlements near the gaza strip. the israeli authorities believe that then the militants exposed more than 200 people, among them older people, children, but not only civilians, there are also military personnel, they are received in the sector. gas earlier, hamas released these two women, american citizens, mother and daughter. the militants have now released the two older women. norit cooper, who is 79 years old. 85. their husbands are still being held captive. and this moment when the two women were released, they were met by representatives of the international red christ. and

then 85-year-old yuegev livshits returns. takes the hand of a militant whose face is covered and wishes him peace. this is the moment. both women were transported from gaza to egypt through the rafah crossing and then to israel. they were sent to the hospital, where they met their relatives. livshest later said that she had to go through hell. militants kidnapped her from the kibbutz, threw her over a motorcycle, as she said, she was beaten with sticks, but according to her ... then in captivity she was treated humanely. she spoke with journalists in the hospital, her daughter was next to her and translated the story from hebrew for her. my mother is now talking about how they were brought there. when they arrived at the place, they got into a large room, where

about 25 hostages gathered. some two or three hours later, part of the hostages, five people, including my mother, were taken to a separate room. my mother says that they were treated very kindly, they were looked after, they were given the necessary medicine, they were provided medical assistance one of the men who was with them was injured. on the way, the motorcycle and him got into an accident, his wounds were treated by a paramedic, he was given medicine, antibiotics, the people there were good, the premises were very clean, they were taken care of, and according to mr. livshits, they were kept in the underground tunnels of hamas in the gaza sector, she says she saw this network

of underground passages. which she compared to a spider's web. hundreds of people, two hundred people, are still being held hostage by hamas. the israeli military was scattered over the northern part the gas sector, these are the postcards. if you know information about the hostages, inform nav. the release of the two hostages came as israel escalates strikes on the gas sector, from which hamas militants continue to shell israeli territory. bbc correspondent lucy williamson is in israel and will tell you the details. release after two weeks of captivity. in this video, norit, cooper and yohev llivshitz deliver to representatives of the international red cross. hamas fighters say they were released from gaza to egypt due to their health. no more hostages, in the goal. both of them were exposed from their home in kibbutziroz by armed assailants. the settlement is still empty and covered with scars from

looting and destruction. but what did these women experience? what remained of their home, the memories of which accompanied them on the way to gaza. but this is what they went through already in gaza: israeli airstrikes, more than 300 per day, in the pass, between their own army and hamas. many palestinian civilians feel the same way. the government of gaza, led by hamas, says that more than 700 people have been killed in israeli airstrikes in the past 24 hours. what hope for the chances of peace melts away, still gnaws away when there is a chance to save a life. ibrahim, from blackpool, along with his mother, sister and two brothers, is trying to leave gaza, having

lived here for over a year. the houses next to ours were destroyed, we had to flee from the house of our apartment in gaza city. we arrived in hanyunis to visit relatives. there were 43 of us in one apartment. and on the israeli side of the border, people have already left, 90% of the residents have left the city of zderot. the rocket attacks of the past two weeks have become for them harbingers of a wider war. shalom already suffers from post-digestive syndrome. in 2005, a rocket hit his house. he says that when he saw armed hamas activists on the streets of the city, he did not... with his own eyes. it's like a terrible dream from which you want to wake up and find yourself somewhere far away. i'm just frozen inside, i don't want to be here. last night the whole house was shaking. we overheard in

the safe room, and this happens all the time. while we were talking, a new anxiety, and an opportunity to feel what it is. it was a rocket attack from gas, he says, now you can see for yourself what kind of life we ​​have daily. zderot is about a kilometer away from the border. so close that you can see explosions from israeli airstrikes inside the gaza. geography is local here, and politics is global. while the israeli prime minister receives world leaders, his army is waiting for the order to enter the gaza strip. rockets were again launched from the sector on the territory of israel, and attacks on hamas targets continued from there. hostages complicate a ground offensive. they have become pawns on the chessboard of a conflict that israel

has vowed to bring to an end. and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is hosting today french president emmanuel macron. this is another visit of solidarity and support. macron said the first goal should be release on bail. and also stated that in the war with hamas, it is israel's duty not to expand the conflict. a major war in the middle east is what western leaders are trying to prevent. like others, macron warned iran and the iranian -backed lebanese hezbollah group against opening a second front. according to him, a further escalation on the border of israel and lebanon, where there are ongoing skirmishes, may open the door to a regional outbreak, in which all participants lose. and macron also said that this is the same international coalition that fought against the factions. the state since 2014 in iraq and syria can also fight against hamas, which israel, according to macron, will not be alone. and later, macron met with palestinian leader mahmoud abbas in ramallah. macron is the first western leader to meet with aabas on the west bank.

british prime minister sunak, who arrived earlier, met with aabas of egypt. and who is mahmud abbas? this is the head of the palestinian autonomy, which controls the west bank, not the gaza sector, since 2007. that territory is controlled by the hamas group. therefore, israel is intensifying strikes on the gas sector. medics say that more than 700 people have been killed by shelling in the last day and the total number of victims since the start of this conflict is approaching 6,000. during the night, the israeli military continued to shell the area, which was seen by a bbcd correspondent. he is located in the city of khan yunis, in the south of the gaza strip. i think it's still the same with israel. there are some negotiations going on about how, on which territory and who gets the small amount of fuel that was found in an old tank near the border, the negotiations also involve about 40 or 45 trucks

carrying medicine, food and water, tonight there were intense... strikes, this is the third or fourth hit an area next to a hospital, so it's another night of heavy shelling in khan yunis, and it's an area where israel has called for more than a million palestinians to move. the israeli authorities said: it will be safer for them in the south, but how you see, there are airstrikes here every night, the local hamas government has said that israel is committing mass murder. they said that after the israeli attack, three buildings fell on people, more than 20 locals were killed and dozens were injured. if we raise the topic of the humanitarian situation, it worsens every day.

the trucks that enter the territory, but the aid is not distributed, a small part of the aid goes to the un shelters, which number about 130 and currently hold more than half a million people who have left their homes in northern gaza and moved to the south. now they are all in un schools and shelters. ruzhdiya boalov is one of the few journalists who... works in the gas sector. well, more than 10,400 people died in the attack that hamas militants carried out in israel on october 7th, and the horrific details of what happened are still emerging. next, one of such stories, how an 18-year-old girl died, her father is still being held hostage by hamas. a terrified family held by hamas at gunpoint. the footage

is excruciating and shocking to watch, but this family wanted the world to see their ordeal, outside the frame, the lifeless body of 18-year-old maayan lies on the floor, traces of the blood of the eldest daughter are on the hands of the father, it was always a nightmare from nightmares, and suddenly it became real. there is a war going on around my house and they are inside, the idan family is no longer complete, sahi is now being held hostage in gas. and mayan

is dead. the song that recalls that happy day is still heard today, but now it is a farewell tune, and their loving father is far from here. sahi is devastated, he saw his daughter die, he saw her shot in the head and she died, his daughter by his side, who had just celebrated her 18th birthday, the house full of balloons, congratulations and blood. hallie invited us to the funeral and asked us to take it down, she wanted people to... see it, she's doing

one of the hardest things of her life right now, burying her daughter far away from home, with no husband around, what could he do, he was in pajamas, all his clothes are now covered in his daughter's blood, i don't think he has a chance to even mourn her, i want all the hostages back, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, i i want him to be here. and sahi is now one of more than 220 people still held hostage in gaza, and at a time when the family needs him more than ever, israel believes hamas militants will take more than 200 hostages. this concludes our issue, read more news on our

was elected 15 times. if you think voting for the speaker of the us congress doesn't apply to you, you're wrong. the absence of the speaker blocks the work of the house of representatives of the congress, blocked work means blocked decisions, including decisions on financial support for ukraine. like this stream, here we go. well, let's start with avdiyivka, where the battles, the russian troops, do not stop attempts to encircle the city continue, this is confirmed in particular by the general staff, and videos with russian flags are circulating about kremlin public places. on the avdiivsky terekon, what is happening there now, we will talk about it in more detail, so the main efforts of the russian troops are aimed at encircling avdiivka, for this they are trying to capture several inhabitants. points located on the flanks, including steppe, berdich and northern.

since 2014, ukrainian troops have been receiving avdiivka itself and its surroundings, in a city where at the beginning during the full-scale war, about 25,000 people lived, now there are about 1,600 residents, they are helped by volunteers and the local administration, these shots were taken near avdiyivka by my colleague yevhennia kitaeva, she just returned from there today, and we are expecting, literally soon, details from her just in studio, we will talk about it, well, we will also talk about what is happening on the approaches to avdiyivka, and how the military is maintaining the defense there, our colleagues also talked to them, and well , just now, what is happening in avdiivtsi from z military, we will talk for a minute, i hope, and evgenia kitaeva has already joined our broadcast live right in the studio, zhenya, hello, you, hello. you're from there, you're from the east, the whole last week has been focused on avdiivka, so i'll immediately ask you about avdiivka, where have you been and what did you

see there? even longer, since october 10, specifically, six in the morning on october 10, this is the date and time mentioned by all the soldiers with whom we spoke in the avdiiv direction, and since october 10, these attacks, assaults, ugh, what else can you call them? , massaged, intense and in principle they continue, just as the ukrainian military had warned, they said that these assaults would be in several stages, as soon as they managed to repulse the first one, immediately after a few days, the second and third began, and it all continues to them, but what the military is telling you, they have the strength and means to repel these assaults as much as necessary, because as far as i understand, russia is just throwing there... an incredibly large number of forces,

reserves, people, well, apparently, russia throws there most of all, these are people, this living resource, because to say that they use some extraordinary equipment there or something else, that is, the columns that we could observe, which were shown to us by the ukrainian military on video from quadcopters, nothing like that, in fact, it is apart from a tank . of course, there are very few bmps, most of them are mtlbs, in these funny shots that probably everyone has seen with the so-called one-and-a-half, these are zazs, ugh, which were produced there in the 30s-50s, these are your shots, but we are now showing them , i think you can look there, that's it, you filmed it, that's it we, it was we who filmed the work of the ukrainian artillerymen, ugh, this is the right flank. in the havdiiv direction, zhen, there is a lot of talk about, the ukrainian military tells about the digging of trenches by the russian military, that this is some kind of brand new tactic that the russian

army is using in the avdiiv direction, what do the ukrainian military say about it? i will tell you that it is not so new , because since the 14th year, when we just started to cover the fighting on the eastern front, the military very often talked about the fact that - the russian army is flying very quickly and already then and now they talk about the fact that these are separate units, these are people who do not fight, people who do not hold weapons in their hands, in the russian army there are such separate units, groups of people who are simply brought to some part of the front and they they are exclusively engaged in reretting, reretting of trenches, dugouts, tunnels. these simple dugouts, in which you can hide during artillery strikes,

all this is done by separate units, people who do not fight, we will continue our conversation with you now, because before our broadcast anton kotsukon, the spokesman of the 110th separate brigade named after general khorundzhy mark bezruchka, joined in, can you hear me, see me , i wish you health, i hear, i see, i wish you health too, good evening, what is the situation in the avdiiv direction and in the people of avdiiv, in particular, today, as it has changed over the last day , the situation continues to be tense, the russians continue their efforts to go on the offensive , nowadays they use armored vehicles a little less, they involve more personnel in the assaults, but every time they get killed, suffer huge losses and accordingly, they walk like this every day and try every day. we are used to thinking, there is such an opinion, and it is not just an opinion, but the military in

this, assure that the avdiiv direction , it is the most fortified, since 2000 of the 14th year, please tell me how high the probability is, or yes, under what circumstances will the ukrainian military have to leave it, or is this an absolutely, impossible situation under any circumstances? well, i think this question is more for some analysts, about what you said, it is really true that, avdiivka and in general this whole direction, it is very significant fortified, starting from the 14th year, were built here. temporary structures and, accordingly, all these things now help us a lot to keep the lines of the guys at zero , and they help us, and actually, in particular, because of this , we manage to repel enemy attacks so effectively, we manage to destroy them so effectively, destroy their personnel, destroy their equipment, and what can you tell us about the tactics of the russian military, my colleague yevhennia

kitaeva is sitting next to me, and she has just returned from the east and she is telling us that it turns out that the russian military has whole units there that dig tunnels, i think that you in the comments, or someone from your brigade in the foreign press talked about the fact that this is some new tactic in the avdiiv direction, when they dig these tunnels underground, tell me about this and possibly some other features of the approach on the part of the russian military, that is what they are doing in this direction, regarding the tactics of the hostilities directly after the 13th, after... the guys from the defense forces, who hold the direction, inflicted huge losses to the enemy in equipment and personnel, but after the 13th they began to use armored vehicles less, they throw them exclusively where , relatively speaking, the main shock fists form, where possible for them more priority places, in the rest of the areas they still

save the equipment more and throw it is the personnel, regarding these tunnels, well, this new thing appeared , on the one hand, it seems as if they are smearing their movements, they probably want to dig closer to our positions somewhere, well, you know, sometimes they compare our war with the first world, and at the same time, such a story was spread, and now the russians are also acting like this, digging tunnels, how large in number or in quality, the reserves of the russian army, which were...' thrown on, on this section of the front, well, look, at a minimum, there are three of their brigades reinforced here, three three russian cadres reinforced by storm units , and considering that the offensive is trying to advance, they have enough people every day, for these actions, that is why they

have accumulated huge reserves here and in personnel, and forces and means. what kind of quality is it, how much is it prepared, prepared troops, well, as everywhere there are different ones, but the enemy cannot be underestimated, that is, every enemy, he has a weapon, he walks, he shoots, that is, every enemy is dangerous, the enemy cannot be underestimated , but do you even have an explanation why suddenly, in the middle of october, the russian military began so powerfully and en masse that... specifically the avdiiv direction, for example, your military colleagues who are also in the avdiiv direction, in particular, explain this with some political reasons, motives that putin needs victory, to the new year or before elections, well, maybe, let's assume, are there any other military justifications, why they have now taken up avdiivka? regarding the reference to time, there are probably

more political reasons here, and regarding the military. point of view, they, well, they have a goal, to surround avdiyivka, accordingly, relatively speaking, for them such a situation has developed that if the city there is in a semi-ring, and they have a goal set by the command there, so that they surround it , they first cut off the logistical supply routes there and then surrounded them, and accordingly, they are now trying to do something, how close are they to cutting supply lines, or what are the risks at all? well, you can see from the numbers how many our defenders destroy the occupiers there every day, and they are very far from their goal. today russian pro-war, pro-russian russian publics distributed a video with the russian tricolor on the avdiiv terekon, for which i understand

that battles have been going on for the last few days, here we are now showing this video,
