the israeli defence forces say they now have operational control on the gaza side of the rafah crossingafter continuously bombarding eastern rafah overnight. these images have been issued by the israel defense forces — and show tanks moving in on the area, a vital entry point for aid, a day after israel ordered civilians to evacuate the area. aid agencies say that could be disastrous for civilians caught up in the conflict. these pictures show lorries queuing up at the rafah crossing waiting to get into gaza. the un has accused israel of not allowing aid into the area and any delay would put their gaza operation in its grave. there was a brief glimmer of hope yesterday. these were the scenes outside the al—aqsa hospital as palestinians celebrated news that hamas had accepted a ceasefire deal. but this was rejected by israel as "far from meeting" its "core demands". instead, the country's war cabinet voted to continue operations in rafah. talks are resuming in cairo and israel is sending a delegation to the talks. our middle east correspondent yolande knell has the lastest. rolling into

the rafah crossing is now under the control of the israeli defence forces and is currently closed for and people in both directions. kerem shalom other crossing is also closed. that means that, currently, the two main arteries for getting aid into gaza is currently choked off. last night, gazans rejoiced after hamas declared it had accepted a ceasefire proposalfrom mediators. celebrations were short—lived, as israel said its core demands were not met and it would continue negotiations. israelis supporting the hostages took to the streets, demanding a deal to bring them back. relatives of those still held captive accused their prime minister putting his own political survival ahead of their loved ones. some went to parliament today. translation: there are civilians there that need rescuing, - soldiers that need rescuing. so far what i am seeing is the state of israel and netanyahu are simply delaying. back in rafah, israel has again been ordering palestinians to leave the east. after seven months of war, an end had seemed tantalisingly close, but now there is more painful uncertainty.

guidelines of the israeli defence forces state that the use of lethal force must be a last resort andt it must be proportionate in relation to the danger suggesting that basil and adam would have needed to pose a serious threat to the soldiers. according to all the video evidence that we have examined, eight—year—old adam was not armed when he was shot in the back of his head. the israeli army has said the suspects had been attempting to hurl explosives towards their forces which put them in immediate danger. they also shared this annotated picture with us that they say shows an explosive device lying on the ground close to where basil was shot, the object looks consistent with a type of very small pipe bomb used in the west bank but we cannot fully verify the image itself. we have shown our findings to international human rights experts, and the co—director of the centre for international law told us the soldiers were in armoured vehicles, and even if they were a threat they should have driven away and planned an arrest rather than defaulting to apparently indiscriminate lethal force
