are the defense minister, the current defense minister yoav gallant has said publicly he is taking all restraints off idf forces. what does that mean? already we've seen what's happening in gaza and the allowed pleas for people including palestinian-americans and many, many palestinian civilians for there to be some kind of help and distinction between civilians and hamas, but you know that hamas has embedded itself with so many civilians over the many, many years that have been in charge there. the other big issue is that yoav gallant again has placed gaza under siege and therefore we are already hearing that the electricity is about to end because they have no fuel. they have been told that they will get no water, food or anything like that in and this, again, the u.s. or the u.n., for sure has said that that is a crime under international law and that kind of state of siege, of collective punishment of the civilian population and people in the u.n. again have appealed for humanitarian corridors for civilians. that does not look like it's going to happen. we hear also that there are

yoav gallant says this is part of a battle of what he described as being against beastly people. although isolated pockets of fighters could still remain. israel says they targeted 1000 buildings in gaza overnight. gaza's health ministry saying

speaking at a joint news conference with his defence minister, yoav gallant, and emergency war cabinetember benny gantz, mr netanyahu described the conflict as israel's second war of independence. he declared israel would win the war and make every effort to bring the hostages home. in his first comments since the war began on seven october, hamas's leader in the gaza strip has offered to release all hostages being held in gaza in return for the release of all hamas prisoners in israeli jails. in a statement, yahya sinwar says: "we are ready "for an immediate exchange deal that includes the release "of all prisoners." "of all prisoners "in the prisons of the zionist enemy in exchange for the release of all "prisoners with the resistance." it comes 2a hours after israel stepped up its bombardment of gaza. israel said the night—time attacks hit 150 targets and killed some key figures within hamas, which is designated a terror group by the uk, us and many other western nations. this evening, mr netanyahu confirmed israeli troops were inside gaza, in the north and in the south. here's a li

yoav gallant has told troops they will soon see gaza from the inside israel has been bombing gaza relentlessly more than 3,000 palestinians are dead, and a ground invasion promises to be even more deadly. >> let's go now to claudio lavanga who's been following these developments for us. what do we know at this hour >> reporter: good morning, phillip. the greatest indication we got that a ground invasion may be imminent is that visit by several senior israeli officials yesterday to the many troops that have been heining up alongside the station, alongside the border of the gaza strip for days the israeli foreign minister said they would seen it from inside and promising that an order would come another senior jenlgeneral tolde a ground invasion will be long, difficult and intense and in the end israel will beat hamas on its own territory and last but not least benjamin netanyahu also rallied the troops by saying israel is on the 2003 victory. but for now, it looks like the calm before the storm or the storm before the hurricane since last saturday, the israeli military said they weren't going t

yoav gallant going so far ase no to say that if you haven't seen the inside of gaza, you soon will. and then there's what's happenineng on the northern border, the big hit, the big bordenfrom lebano is hezbollah firing off its vast arsenal of missiles. n isbut the israelis have massed merkava tanks and self-propelled howitzers, artillery, 155 paladin or m1 or nines up there. and the only reaso.n why they would be up there would be to support some sort of ground incursion intoground lebanon. it's not like a massive force of hezbollah is going to come swarming across the border. so is there an operation about to begin in southern lebanomingss then as well? rishi sunak, the u.k. prime minister, was here yesterdayo . he was fully supportive. israel went so far as to say, we want you to win. so with all of thaisrael at in g is something imminent? we can't say for sure, but the tea leaves would certainly seem to add up in that direction john. the real concern about a ground invasion beyond the fact that there wouldth be many casualties on both sides is what happens to the 203 hostages tha

reports that the israeli defense minister, your gut land, has advocated a preemptive strike -- yoav gallants advocated for a brianti strike in the north. if israel would do that, that puts the u.s. than in the very difficult position, doesn't it, if it is israel that starts the fight in the north. guest: it could possibly be the case, yes. it would depend -- and everything always depends on the size of a "preemptive strike," and the amount of damage and killing caused. it is certainly true that hezbollah in conventional military terms, is exponentially more powerful than hamas. and we all have heard the reports that iran has provided hezbollah with 120,000 to 140,000 rockets, many of which can strike any part of israel. there range extends well beyond the borders of the farthest point away on israel. so israel has a real legitimate concern about is an attack, from our assessments, imminent, and would it be less dangerous to preemptively strike to try to stop that, or not? that's a very difficult equation. so far,, consistently, the israelis have shown restraint because they don't want to ex

now he is visiting telviv again, where he met with defense minister yoav gallant and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. galland emphasized that it will be a long war, and the price of victory will be high. the white house said that us president joe biden received the latest information about the situation in israel from his teams from national security. israel continues preparations for a large-scale ground operation to destroy hamas militants in the gaza strip. the un calls for immediate humanitarian aid to the civilians of gaza, who have found themselves there without food, water and medical supplies. at the parliamentary elections in poland, according to exit polls. yaroslav kaczyński's ruling law and justice party is in the lead, gaining almost 37% of the vote. in second place was the civil coalition led by donald tusk, which received up to 32% of the vote. together with two other opposition parties, they may have enough votes to form a majority government. that is why both the ruling and opposition parties are declaring their victory. we have the first exit polls which give us the fourt

i mean, to be very specific about it, even before october 7th, israel's defense minister, yoav gallantllah launches strikes deep into israel, israel's military will reduce — to paraphrase him — reduce lebanon back to the stone age. and after october 7th, president isaac herzog said, "if hezbollah drags us into a war, "it will be clear lebanon will pay the price. "lebanon cannot be a sovereign nation "in the international community "and then say, when it comes to israel, " �*oh, we are not responsible for these attacks.�* " so i ask you one more time, what are you going to do? what are you going to do to stop hezbollah launching strikes deep into israel? well, first, what are you going to do to stop...? because if you read the new york times and nobody denied it, it was the minister of defense of israel who is preparing to have a pre—emptive strike on lebanon. so we are talking with all western ambassadors and all ambassadors here and outside. so we are dealing with hezbollah. we are trying all our way, and they are aware of the situation in lebanon. and therefore, you've got to be awar

in a statement in the past hour, israel's defence minister yoav gallant has said...o in the past few minutes, an israeli military spokesman has said thousands of army reservists are to be called up. our reporter rushdi abu—alouf gave me the latest from gaza. this is extremely significant. in all of the years that hamas has been in control of gaza, they have never launched a surprise attack on different locations, israeli security officials saying an hour or so ago there were 21 separate incidents going on. there's a lot of video circulating, not yet verified, by the bbc showing bodies of israeli soldiers, some of whom were clearly surprised, in their bunks, even, by the attackers. no one was expecting hamas to do anything like this. tension has been rising very strongly between palestinians and israelis, there's been a lot of violence in the west bank which is the territory that goes from jerusalem towards thejordan river. which has been occupied by israel since 1967. that has been the focus now for months and months and there's been a lot of killing and violence the

secretary of defense austin is expected to hold a press conference with israeli defence minister yoav gallantd injordan to meet with palestinian president abbas. and this is the scene live in gaza as the conflict enters a seventh day.

as we reported, the israeli defence minister yoav gallant has said that the blockade on the gaza strip into a full siege, to prevent food and fuel being brought in. one organisation in gaza that this will particularly affect is the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees. more than 70,000 displaced people are currently sheltering in unrwa shelters. one such shelter, a school, was severely damaged in an air strike today. the bbc�*s rushdi abualouf is based in gaza he gave us this update on the situation there. as you can see in the background, an israeli air strike just hit this area. we had to move from our office, this is a residential building where i live. it is a very densely populated area. when i came here i saw many people are leaving to come to this southern side of the city. since then we have had five or six air strikes. i don't think gaza has ever seen this intensity of an israeli air strike ever. i have covered many wars in gaza, but i think this is the biggest ever israeli air strike that targeted gaza. many places have been hits, including the mosque

yoav gallant, as well as with the military cabinet of the country.e dead palestinians were recorded in the gaza strip. it is also known about almost 700 victims of airstrikes by israel. this was reported by the times of israel with reference to the gaza ministry of health. let me remind you that the government of israel announced the beginning of the war on october 7 after the attack by hamas. armed forces israel called on civilians in gaza to evacuate within 24 hours, the military advised people to head to safe places in the south. at the same time, the un considers it impossible to relocate the population without humanitarian consequences. the organization appealed to israel to cancel this requirement. according to local media, the military warning is related to plans for a ground operation. at least seven people were killed and more than a dozen injured when a suspected people smuggler lost control of a migrant van. this was reported by the german police on friday. the accident happened on a motorway near munich, after a mercedes vito van began to

when i talk of siege, i'm quoting, actually, from your defence minister, yoav gallant, who talked ofon gaza. to quote him, "there is now no electricity, "no food, no water. "there is no fuel." i don't know if he is aware, but i guess you may well be aware as a former israeli ambassador, of the geneva conventions, article 5a of which says that starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited. does israel care about the geneva conventions in the coming days and weeks? we care about our wellbeing and about being alive, and we are fighting for our life. we are fighting for the more than 100 people who were kidnapped from their homes saturday morning. that's what we care about. that's our priority. but i go back and tell you the fact — if you want to provide water to gaza or food to gaza, you have a border with egypt. they can transfer whatever they want into gaza. we are not blocking anything coming from egypt. but if in the past we took care of humanitarian issues in gaza, we are saying it very clearly, now we are taking care of the humanitarian issues of israelis who were k

yesterday, we had the defense minister, yoav gallant, suggesting as much.ssing on the border, including some 300,000 reservists, and they were ready for their mission, which they had been given by the government. so we don't know when some sort of ground invasion is going to happen. that will obviously be an incredibly complex operation. the mission first to free those hostages, but then to remove hamas' capability of governing in gaza. hamas, of course, will be prepared for such an operation. they will not make it easy. we don't know when it's going to happen, but the expectation is that it will. jon, before i let you go, i just wondered if there had been any response yet. there have been calls throughout the day for things like humanitarian corridors, ways to get aid into gaza. we haven't had any firm details on that either way, but i wonder if there had been any kind of response. well, wejust had, i guess, the first glimmer of some positive news just in the last hour. a senior egyptian official has told the bbc that the egyptian government is in discussi

now he is visiting telviv again, where he met with defense minister yoav gallant and prime minister binyaminanyahu. gallant stressed that it would be a long war, and the price of victory would be high. the white house said that us president joe biden received the latest information on the situation in israel from his national security team. israel continues. to a large-scale ground operation to destroy hamas militants in the gaza strip. the un calls for immediate humanitarian aid to the civilians of gaza, who have found themselves there without food, water and medical supplies. at the parliamentary elections in poland, according to exit polls.

yoav gallant said this was part of a battle against what he described as "beastly people". militants, though isolated pockets of fighters could still remain. it's now more than 48 hours since the mass assault by hamas. the israeli army says it will secure breaches in the gaza separation barrier that militants may still be using. the death toll since hamas launched its attacks on saturday has

the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, has agreed an order to evacuate all israeli communities that close indeed. they can see the grey border wall from their homes and from their streets. we're talking about nearly 30 different towns and villages, many of which we've been to over the last few days, many of which, i have to say, are almost completely empty. a lot of people haven't waited for this official order to leave. they have heard and seen the exchanges of fire that have been going on ever since these hamas attacks more than a week ago. they also saw a real uptick in that yesterday, as did we. there was a lot of fire going to and fro between israel and lebanon yesterday. so those who could have already left. but this is an order saying that those who still remain, who maybe didn't have the means to get out before now, maybe didn't have somewhere to go to, israel is going to help those communities the closest to the border, tens of thousands of people, to move out of the area. and it really shows the concern that we've been talking about for several days now, but the concern th

complete destruction, i know that there was already a statement by the minister of defense of israel, yoav gallant, that there will be three stages of this operation, now israel is in the first stage, these are air attacks, this is destruction, logistics, the destruction of the leaders, yes through attacks, namely air, the second, the second position, the second stage, it will be less intense, but more precisely, maybe even if it is a ground operation, i think so, he did not voice it directly, but this is what this ground operation is, it is the entry into the territory of ugazi and the suppression of all cells. opera, which will still remain, and the third, the third stage is the establishment of a special regime in this sector, in the fanclave, in the gas sector, this is a special security regime, as i understand it, some kind of patrolling, this will be some kind of security strip, or a security area , so he did not explain in more detail, but i am aware that it is the israeli military who will establish their orders, my kind, my patrol, there, you can say so, thank you iryna, it was journalist

here's what the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, said on the latest military action.: we have i shifted a phase in the war. last night, the ground in gaza shook. we attacked above the ground and below the ground. we attacked terror operatives of all ranks in every location. the instructions to the forces are clear, the action will continue until a new order. there is began to intensify around 24 there is began to intensify around 2a hours ago. let's get more from our middle east correspondent tom bateman, who sent this report from jerusalem. wave upon wave of israeli air strikes have pounded gaza. the military calls these massive significant attacks as its ground troops entered the territory. palestinians report an unprecedented level of bombardment while virtually all communications for nearly 2.5 million people appear to be cut. here, residents rushed the wounded to hospital by themselves as people say they could not call ambulances. paramedics in the darkness simply drove towards explosions. palestinian telecoms companies say the outage was caused by the air strike

siege" of the gaza strip. he's ordered a "full after israel's biggest loss of life in generations, yoav gallantaid there would be "no power, no food, no fuel" and that everything would be closed down. in the last 15 minutes, the european commission has also announced an immediate suspension of all age to palestinians. meanwhile... israel has also intensified their attacks on hamas. explosions these are some of the recent pictures. military military officials say israel struck over 500 targets overnight in gaza, with over 500 palestinians reported dead. a hamas spokesman claimed that four israelis who'd been taken hostage had been killed by the air strikes, a claim that hasn't been verified. the israeli military says it's regained control of all southern communities attacked by palestinian militants — though it warned isolated pockets of fighters could still remain. hamas has continued to fire missiles into israel, targeting jerusalem, ben gurion airport near tel aviv, and ashkelon. israel's iron dome defence system has intercepted many of the rockets. at least 700 israelis have been killed, inc

. _ as we reported earlier, the israeli defence minister, yoav gallant, has said that the blockade onaza strip will be tightened into a full siege to prevent food and fuel being brought in. one such organisation in gaza that has been struggling with this is the united nations relief and works agency for palestine refugees. over 70,000 displaced people are currently sheltering in unrwa shelters. people are currently one such shelter, a school was severly damaged in an air strike earlier today. i'm joined from athens by juliette touma, who's the director of communications at the unrwa. we were meant to speak to one of your colleagues earlier in gaza. we want able to. let us know what happened to, i hope she is safe. yes, that's right. so far she is safe but she and many other colleagues have had to take cover in one of the un bunkers in the city of gaza, in one of our offices there, so she could be with you today. the numbers of those displaced who have sought shelter in our schools has doubled overnight. we have registered nearly 140,000 people in our schools, all have fled to our scho

now israeli's defense ministry yoav gallant ordered what he called a complete siege of gaza cutting off all food, fuel and electricity, that in a place where according to the world food program, 63% of the population was food insecure before this war began. so much has happened since saturday morning in israel and gaza that it's only beginning. ben wedeman, cnn, jerusalem. >>> coming up, the israeli military is going on the offensive against hamas with a force like never before, a look at the years of animosity between israel and hamas and what could be next in this conflict. >>> plus the u.s. steps up support for israel and russia is to provide air defense and munitions. we'll have details. >>> welcome back, everyone. >>> new video obtained by cnn appears to show what happened when hamas militants arrived near the seethe of a music festival where more than 260 people were killed over the weekend. we do want to warn you the video you are about to see is disturbing. this dashcam video from a parked car shows militants near a bomb shelter screaming at a shirtless man. it's unclear what's

yoav gallant said this was part of a battle against what he described as "beastly people".srael also says its forces have regained control of all southern communities attacked by palestinian hamas militants, though isolated pockets of fighters could still remain. it's now more than 48 hours since the mass assault by hamas. the israeli army says it will secure breaches in the gaza separation barrier that militants may still be using. the death toll since hamas launched its attacks on saturday has now reached 1200. 700 have been killed in israel, including 260 at a music festival. reuters reports this figure includes 73 soldiers — that's according to the israeli military. and more nearly 500 have been killed in gaza, after israel launched retaliatory air strikes. 33 of those are thought to be children. let's take the scene live now in gaza. in the last few minutes and hours we have seen a number of strikes by israeli military, also as we have been hearing the israeli defence minister has announced he has called for a total blockade of the city. this is a densely populated are

the country's defence minister, yoav gallant, has warned the military campaign against hamas, which is designated a terrorist organisation by the uk and other western governments, could take up to three months. saying the focus now is on limited airstrikes. officials in gaza say more than 5,000 people have been killed by air strikes in the just over two weeks since hamas massacred 1,400 civilians in southern israel. hamas massacred civilians here in southern israel. while the war continues, israel has said it will continue to allow aid into gaza but not fuel. with electricity already cut many hospitals say they have only a few days of fuel left to power generators. with more, here's our correspondent wyre davies. you may find some of his report distressing. it's a part of gaza where people should have felt relatively safe, the southern part of the strip is for israel and ordered more than a million palestinians to play away from their targets in the north but last night was the worst so far in the town of khan yunis. there were devastating consequences for civilians. this lady lost 13

meanwhile, israel's defence minister yoav gallant has told troops stationed on the border with gaza tog some extreme rainfall to the uk. the met office have issued a rare top level red weather warning for rain affecting aberdeenshire, angus, dundee, perth and kinross. it's for these areas that we'll probably see the most severe weather impacts. it's not the only place that babet will cause big problems. northern and eastern scotland, the cheviots, the peaks, the pennines, north wales, the rainfall accumulations — ie the rain building up over the next day or two — could also bring some severe flooding. now, babet essentially is this area of low pressure. it's getting blocked from moving by this blocking area of high pressure over scandinavia. the weather front�*s become stationary, bringing torrential rain, and in the lowest mile of the atmosphere, we've got a low level jet that's just slamming the rainfall into the eastern mountains in scotland. so for communities within this amber weather warning area, there could be some severe flooding. but in this more concentrated zone, where we'v

last night, israel's defence chief yoav gallant visited the thousands of israeli troops are massed onthis next deadly war and that is what the people of gaza are bracing for. thank you very much. lyse doucet, our chief international correspondent in southern israel. the health regulator has warned the quality of care in england is increasingly determined by where people live and how much they can pay for treatment. the care quality commission says long waiting lists, poor funding and a lack of staff all risk turning health and social care services into an unfair, two—tiered system. 0ur social affairs editor, alison holt, has this report. ella. come here, darling. taking the dog for a walk is something of a triumph for dave lockyer. until recently, the 65—year—old was in so much pain from his hip, he was struggling to get dressed... ..yet he was told he'd have to wait at least two years for the nhs operation he needed. clever girl! i was a shell of myself, my mental health just got worse. we needed to increase my antidepressants. i wouldn't have lasted two years. i simply wouldn't have

jackie: benjamin netanyahu and defense minister yoav gallant will give a press conference shortly.ng that to you live when it happens. for now, we want to have an important discussion with the former is really prime minister leading the opposition party in israel, p a lapide. i want to ask about the hostage negotiations and the rhetoric out of the us. in the past couple days we've heard more vocally administration officials calling for a humanitarian pause in fighting to get the hostages out if that can be achieved. we've seen somewhat of a delay in getting this ground operation fully underway. is there any daylight between the israelis and the us in terms of an appetite for a humanitarian pause. do you think it's possible to get the hostages out and that you are dealing with anyone from the hamas side acting in good faith in these negotiations. >> no one and hamas is acting in good faith about anything. they are just using the hostages has the way they are using their own people as human shields. among people who were kidnapped, 9-month-old girl, do you think someone who wouldn't

and today the defence minister yoav gallant ordered a "complete seige" of the gaza strip, while israeliks and howitzers begin to mass near gaza's northern border mr gallant said there would be no power, no food, no fuel, nothing until the military has rooted out those who would seek israel's destruction. on top of the blockade, the european commission today announced an immediate review of all aid to the palestinians. military officials say israel struck more than 2,500 targets in gaza so far. more than 680 palestinians were reported dead. a hamas spokesman claimed that four israelis who'd been taken hostage had been killed in the air strikes, a claim we are yet to independantly verify. but hamas is still firing back. missiles are being launched atjerusalem, ben gurion airport near tel aviv, and ashkelon. israel's iron dome defence system is doing itsjob, intercepting many of those rockets. but some have got through. and all the while, the israelis are still counting and recovering the dead. at least 900 israelis were killed this weekend, including at least 260 at a music festival. and

and what we heard from israel's defense minister, yoav gallant, is that the gloves are essentially off now. and this is in particular in the wake of some of these atrocities that were discovered at -- just to the east of the northern part of the gaza strip. yesterday, the idlest saying that women, children, toddlers, the elderly, were in their words brutally butchered in the i.s.i.s. wave action. as we just heard, president biden alluding to as well, and also confirmed by the israeli defense minister, that some of those victims in israel were be headed. rosemary? >> elliott, you touched on this. the big question is of course everyone asking what comes next. and with israeli troops massing at the border, that ground incursion does look likely. we don't know when that would happen. but we're certainly getting every indication it is the next move. talk to us about what you're learning about that, and of course, the risks involved in going into gaza. >> rosemary, i think everyone would be surprised if a ground incursion by israel did not happen. as i said, there are of course risks that th

yoav gallant says this is part of a battle of what he described as being against beastly people.e said it is a response to hamas... all seven communities attacked by a palestinian hamas militants, although isolated pockets of fighters could still remain. israel says they targeted 1000 buildings in gaza overnight. gaza's health ministry saying 560 palestinians and 700 israelis have been killed. ten british citizens are dead or missing. the us has nine of its civilians have been killed. about 260 people killed on saturday when a music festival in an israeli town was attacked. we are keeping a close eye on this picture. this is gaza live and you can see the smoke in the air. there has clearly adjust in the air. there has clearly adjust in the past few minutes been another retaliatory air strike by israel. a hamas spokesperson saying four israelis have been taken hostage and their captors died in the israeli air strikes. their captors died in the israeli airstrikes. it their captors died in the israeli air strikes. it is believed 100 israelis are being held right now in gaza. israel

they met with the prime minister and defense minister yoav gallant and demanded that their hostages,t their family members be put as a priority and they were promised that they were a priority to the israeli government. since then we have seen so many strikes and is so much fear on the part of those with family members in the tunnels that they will not be able to make it out alive if this continues the way it does before a negotiation is able to get them out, bianna. >> we just heard jake sullivan say that the release of the hostages remain a top priority. let me ask you about the situation in gaza. do we know if any additional humanitarian aid has been able to get in? >> it's such a miniscule amount. normally, you have somewhere near a hundred trucks coming in each day and that's on a regular day, that is on before any war is going on. they've only been able to get a few dozen trucks there over a week's time and so you are really seeing this just enormous, humanitarian catastrophe not just the munitions being used on gaza because of israel and also because of the blockade and also n

the country's defence minister, yoav gallant, has warned

earlier today, israel's defence minister, yoav gallant,visited the infantry massed at the gaza borderery soon see they will see the palestinian territory "from the inside". "there is no forgiveness for this thing," he said. "only total annihilation of hamas. "it will take a week, it will take a month, "it will take two months, until we eliminate them." the americans are full square behind israel's right to defend itself. but they are concerned that a ground incursion would risk the war spreading to the northern border. in fact today the israeli military said 20 rockets were fired from lebanon intoto the western galilee area of northern israel. the israel defense forces responded with shelling, so lets get a view from someone who knows lebanon well. kim ghattas was born two years into the civil war in lebanon. in fact herfamily lived on the front lines, between east and west beirut. she is the author of black wave and a distinguished fellow, of the columbia university institute of global politics. he wrote a really fascinating piece in the financial times the other day which caught my

been covering this from the beginning, that the defense minister spoke before the prime minister, yoav gallant, he was very forceful, too. he also predicted victory. he made it clear that israel was going to fight until there was victory. what was your major take away? >> reporter: the prime minister, i think, one of the big take a ways i took from prime minister netanyahu was that he tried to for the international audience, many of those journalists, the countries they come from have been very critical of israel recently, critical of the high civilian casualties. we know that a third of the casualties inside of gaza are children. there's been so much pressure on israel for the ceasefire which he refuses. but what he said is -- and i think this is very important as israel tries to deal with this barrage of international criticism, people need to make a moral distinction, a moral distinction between us, the idf, and hamas. hamas who go out with the intention of killing -- and he spoke very graphically about the killing of civilians and the idf goes out of its way he says to avoid civilian casua

and the south continue to get visits from the defense minister in the prime minister of defense yoav gallant tell him the troops along the border this'll be the last operation into gaza because when it is over there will be no more hamas. prime minister benjamin netanyahu told the troops this won't be like other wars. >> i know you lost friends. it is very difficult but we are in a battle for our life. a battle for our home. this is not an exaggeration. this is the war. it is do or die, they should die. >> we hear the airstrikes continue into the gaza strip. about midway down the gaza strip is a refugee camp that took a major hit yesterday. palestinians that hit an open air market decimating the open air market. meantime aid is making it into the gaza strip through the crossing with egypt. some 17 trucks made in today, 20 trucks made it in yesterday madg food, water and medicine. aid workers say it's about 4% of the desperate need in the gaza strip. meantime there are reports still of infiltrators hanging around since the october 7 the massacre. israeli tv says one was picked up today. there

and nic, israel's defense minister yoav gallant says israeli troops will, quote, soon see gaza from the inside. are you seeing any movement of israeli forces? >> reporter: so much movement over the past few days and so much troops getting last-minute training inside small villages, reconstructed villages that look like palestinian villages and towns with mosques, with stores, with houses, training to form up in lines, form their vehicles up in lines for when they get that order to go. but i think perhaps the day really from the politicians, it's the clearest sign yet that we're getting close. one minister i spoke to today said the politicians have given a green light to the military, it is all in the hands of the military now, when they choose to go in. in israel's war with hamas more than 60 of the terror group's operatives arrested early thursday in the west bank. the clock now ticking on a far more dangerous phase of the war for the idf, going into hamas's heartland, gaza. >> the israeli government made a decision, gave a green light to the army, wipe them out. and now it's in the ha
