israel said it bombed a hamas commander centre. casualties they saw were civilians. israel's response to the 7th of october attacks has killed at least 42,000 people in gaza. its war aims of destroying hamas and freeing its hostages have not been achieved, so killing yayha sinwar is its biggest victory yet. the hamas organisation that sinwar and others built before the 7th of october attacks is largely broken. left of sinwar is ishmail haniyeh, hamas political leader who was assassinated injuly. israel doesn't let us into gaza to report, but this reaction in khan younis was filmed for the bbc. translation: this war is not dependent on sinwar - nor on any other leader or official. it is a war of extermination against the palestinian people as we all know and understand. the issue is much bigger than sinwar or anyone else. many leaders have beenl assassinated before him, like ishmail haniyeh, i but someone else will always step in and the j struggle will continue. back in israel, a few people stop to celebrate at the forensics lab wh

has a right to defend itself, and the threat hamas poses to israel must be eliminated. clear progress toward that goal. hamas is decimated and its leadership is eliminated. this moment gives us an opportunity to finally end the war in gaza, and it must end such that israel is secure. the hostages are released, the suffering in gaza ends, and the palestinian people can realise their right to dignity, security, freedom and self—determination. and it is time for the day after to begin without hamas in power. we will not give up on these goals, and i will always work to create a future of peace, dignity and security for all. i thank you all. speaking in the past hour or so, mr netanyahu warned that the war with hamas was not over and israel would continue with its operation until all the hostages were returned. translation: this is - a milestone in taking down the evil rule of hamas. and let me say very clearly once again — hamas will no longer rule in gaza. this is the beginning of the day after hamas. this is an opportunity for you, residents of gaza, to finally liberate y

israel didn't start this. hamas did. but israel is going to finish it.

is not about israel and hamas, not even israel and has below. it's about a fight for our national survival and the survival of the western world. but they represented was everything contrary to that world. tremendous opportunity. think about it as similar to the elimination by the united states of usama bin laden tragically, 3,000 americans were killed. proportionally on october 7th, would have been the equivalent of 40,000 american killed, 1200 israelis. you can imagine what this means for us. it's important to keep in mind that mr. sinwar spent time in israeli prisons, released a decade ago on the exchange but was sitting in prison not because killed israelis: he was in prison because he killed palestinians, palestinians who wanted peace. this man who is killed coming on october 7 killed 43 americans, took another -- unspeakable captivity. this is a great victory for our way of life, for our civilization, and this moment must be exploited. >> it sends a clear message, the minister of the defense says to the guys ambassador -- the man who brett

veteran war correspondent elijah magnier believes that israel was ill prepared for a confrontation with hamas, let alone the prospect of engaging hizbullah. in his analysis, israel approaches this situation with considerable apprehension as there is a looming concern that hisbullah, based in lebanon may initiate a secondary conflict on the northern front. despite a heavy bombardment campaign of unprecedented intensity, israel has struggled to halt the rocket attacks by hamas or weaken the military capabilities of the resistance group. falling short of their initial objectives, israel has initiated sustained aerial bombardment campaign targeting the civilian population in gaza. this relent. matless assault has taken a devastating toll on the lives of palestinians with a tragic loss of thousands, primarily women and children, and leaving thousands more injured. amid israel's sustained bombardment of gaza, a deepening humanitarian crisis confronts the palestinian population, as desperately needed aid remains inaccessible to this beseged enclave. the situation within gaza's hospitals is growing i

israel. this city, which has been marking one year since the hamas attacks of october 7. me, israel has been striking targets in southern beirut. as we were about to come on air, several long-range missiles were fired into israel. our team took cover as the defense system high above swung into action. it is believed this latest attack came from lebanon. earlier, there were rockets fired into israel from gaza and from yemen. this evening, millions of people across central israel have been running towards emergency shelters. all this on the day that services have been taking place for the 1200 israelis killed and more than 205 taken hostage in the -- 250 taken hostage in the hamas attacks one year ago. from dawn until dusk, on this land and around the world, people have been stopping to room for who died. it was 6:30 in the morning on october 7 when fighters from hamas and other groups crossed to the southern border from gaza and inflicted the worst single mass killing of israelis in the nation's history. the gunmen from hamas broke through the border fence, rampaging throug

israel. as the middle east war widens, the israelis still insist on total victory over hamas. middle east peace requires a secure israel alongside an independent palestine. but right now, military action, not diplomacy, is setting the pace. and after that interview i spoke tojeremy bowen from jerusalem who said the hamas leader showed no contrition for hamas's actions. farfrom it far from it the attacks were important and worthwhile because hamas wanted so far, israel does not recognise a one—state solution or a two—state solution. israel rejects it all — international resolutions, international law and our rights. do you think of yourself as a terrorist? that's what israel calls you. i am seeking freedom and defending my people. to the occupation, we're all terrorists — the leaders, the women and the children. you heard what israeli leaders called us. they said we were animals. air-raid siren. about an hour after the interview, iran attacked israel. as the middle east war widens, the israelis still insist on total victory over hamas. the us and its allies, including the uk and

israel on tuesday. let's go back to the seventh of october last year. why did hamas attack israel? to sound an alarm to the world, to tell them that we are a people with a cause and demands. it was a wake-up call to the international community. we had to do something that would tell the world that there is a people who have been under occupation for decades. >> why did your men kill so many civilians, children as well? >> we ordered our resistance fighters not to target civilians, women and children, only the occupation soldiers. we don't endorse harming civilians. on the ground, there were certainly mistakes and actions the fighters may have felt that their lives were in danger. >> your men weren't in danger, they were standing with terrified civilians sitting on the ground and standing over them with weapons. that is not a battle. >> we have all seen how the fighters went into the houses. they spoke to the families, they ate and drank. >> sorry, they were shooting them. there are videos. >> when they went into some of the houses, none of the women and children were terrified. tho

israel said it bombed a hamas commander centre. s they saw were civilians. israel's response to the 7th of october attacks has killed at least 42,000 people in gaza. its war aims of destroying hamas and freeing its hostages have not been achieved, so killing yayha sinwar is its biggest victory yet. the hamas organisation that sinwar and others built before the 7th of october attacks is largely broken. left of sinwar is ishmail haniyeh, hamas political leader israel doesn't let us into gaza to report, but this reaction in khan younis was filmed khan younis was filmed for the bbc. translation: this war is not dependent on sinwar - nor on any other leader or official. it is a war of extermination against the palestinian people as we all as we all know and understand. the issue is much bigger than sinwar or anyone else. many leaders have beenl assassinated before him, like ishmail haniyeh, _ but someone else will always step in and the struggle will continue. back in israel, a few people stop to celebrate at the forensics lab where sinw

>> so we do not believe that a ceasefire where israel unilaterally stops the war without an agreement with hamas to stop attacking israel, to release israeli hostages, to release american hostages, to release the hostages of other countries is a just outcome. we want to see a cease fire, but it needs to be a cease fire that includes both parties to the conflict, not just one. >> a few things, matt. just a broad question to per perhaps reflect a year on. it's the anniversary of october 7 hamas attacks. it's also the anniversary of the start of gaza war, which is according to palestinian health authorities killed nearly 42,000 people. so, and everything we've lived through, i'm wondering, does the united states believe israel is safer today than before the start of this? and given the united states has supported israel throughout this, i'm just wondering if there is any reflection within the administration going back to the early days and sort of looking at the steps that you've taken, is there anything that the administration would have done differently since then? >> so let me let me answer the
