the hamas run health ministry in gaza said the ambulances were not being used by hamas terrorists. what to do you say? >> first of all, as you mentioned, it is the hamas run health ministry. it really is hamas more than the health ministry. everything they say we have to take a step back and ask i f we can trust them as a credible source. in this case the answer is no. we did identify a terrorist threat inside the ambulances. we provided information. we see red cross ambulances sitting there. we know it is not a new thing. since 2014, the been taking ambulances and hiding terrorists inside of it making the most cynical use of important medical assets for their own use. it is extremely difficult to fight against. it shows that this is hamas' play group when they know that we could respond. they show the blown up ambulances which is what they use as the uber. ambulances that go around gaza. if you identify the active threat, we will eliminate the imminent threat. >>> earlier today the idf says that hamas used an announcement telling residents to move safely south as an opportunity to

but those are the figures that come out of the hamas—run health ministry. er, as the co—founder of the palestinian national initiative, a man who wanted to move beyond the old politics dominated by fatah and hamas in the palestinian territories, do you reach out to hamas today? do you have any contact with them since october 7? we don't have direct contact, but we've expressed our views and we were listened to. when...a stupid mistake was made by somebody declaring that hostages will be killed, we immediately interacted and expressed our opinion that this is unacceptable, and they retracted from that, which is good. but more than that, we also expressed our opinion that all civilians must be released and they responded positively. they say they are ready to release all the civilian prisoners. all they need is immediate ceasefire. but ijust wonder... and i don't understand — and by the way, stephen, just to clarify about the issue of figures, mr biden, the president of the united states, in my opinion, hurt his credibility by repeating the lie of netanyahu, w

the hamas run health ministry says it was air strike by israel. confirms that there was a strike on an ambulance. they say it was being used by hamas and they say a number of hamas operatives were killed. the leader of hezbollah, prescribed terror group by many countries, praised the attacks by hamas on the 7th of october. in response, israel said it is on high alert there at its northern border. the former ambassador for lebanon tracy chamoun gave me her reaction to nasrallah's speech. well, i think it was pretty much what every lebanese expected to hearfrom him. we didn't expect at all to hear a declaration of war. they've been engaged in fighting since the beginning. but i think that there's a reluctance to escalate. and that's because really, lebanon cannot withstand any war at this stage. the country is devastated. the government has tried to put together an emergency plan. we don't have any funding even to do that. and our health care system is completely collapsed. so it's going to be a disaster if the war escalates and reaches lebanon. and

the hamas—run health ministry in gaza says more than 9,000 people have been killed in the strip since leader of the lebanese islamist group hezbollah, which is also classed as a terrorist group by the uk government, has today described the hamas attacks on israel as "right, wise and just". in a moment we'll be hearing from 0rla guerin who's in beruit. fergal keane will be reporting on the worsening situation in gaza. and we'll get the lastest from the rafah crossing where those british nationals will cross into egypt. but first, this report by our international editorjeremy bowen begins with the aftermath of what the hamas—run health ministry says is an attack by israel on an ambulance convoy outside the al—shifa hospital. it contains images you may find upsetting. around 4:00 this afternoon, many people were killed very close to shifa, gaza's main hospital. the health ministry, controlled by hamas, said israel attacked a convoy of ambulances. thousands of civilians have been sheltering at shifa, hoping it would be safer. israel says hamas has a command bunker under the hospital. more
