with hindsight, perhaps the key moment came when israel's hardline defence minister, yoav gallant, told some families of the hostages that the most important thing was to destroy hamas — and a number of the relatives walked out in disgust, because they believed the most important thing was to get their relatives freed. president biden has warned the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, that israel is losing the moral high ground, thanks partly to the television pictures which come hourly out of gaza showing the death and destruction caused by the israeli attacks. the bbc gets its pictures from a whole range of sources in gaza. yogita limaye, who's normally based in india, has been putting together many of the bbc�*s reports from those pictures at its bureau injerusalem. i think what we've been seeing every day

fight with hamas is not yet over that times of israel reporting that israel's defense minister yoav gallant saying to troops that you now have a few days, and we will return to fighting we will use the same amount of power and more, adding that while hamas has also had time to regroup, that they will first meet the bombs of the air force, and after that, the shells of the tanks and the artillery and the scoops of the d-9 bulldozers we will fight the entire strip so israel clear that they are not yet done in this fighting. but, on a diplomatic front, the state department releasing a statement in regards to secretary of state blinken's upcoming trip to israel and the west bank saying that he will continue to discuss israel's right to defend themselves in accordance with international law, and including future peace in the region. but good news, as we've seen, a pause in fighting continue and the release of more hostages phillip and frances? >> continued hope for some of those families chapman, thank you >>> we're learning more about what it's like to be held captive by hamas for weeks family

israel's yoav gallant says hezbollah was close to making a grave mistake and could drag lebanon into the citizens of lebanon. hezbollah is dragging lebanon into a war. hezbollah is making mistakes for which citizens of lebanon ultimately will pay the price. what we are doing in gaza now, we know how to do it in beirut as well. therefore, hezbollah should behave properly. nasrallah should not continue teasing us. this aggression is unacceptable. we are prepared for anything. hassan nasrallah gave a speech in which he said his group had the comments came after the leader of the hezbollah used new types of weapons and struck new targets in israel in recent days. hezbollah is, like hamas, listed as a terrorist organisation by many governments including the us and uk. let's ta ke let's take you to beirut broke and our correspondent is there. ssa ramping up of rhetoric or does it pose a real risk to the small opening up on an entirely new front? i think it was interesting to hear what the israeli defence minister had to say, some strong words, saying what the israeli military is doing in g

female prisoner, which is what the ill-fated trio in the occupation leadership, benjamin netanyahu, yoav gallant and benny gants submitted to, while they all had insisted first on releasing what they called hostages held by hamas, without any agreement or reciprocation. benjamin netanyahu in particular showed uncontrollable. verbal arrogance and exaggerated his belief that he could liberate the zionist detainees by armed force. then it became clear to him that he was chasing illusion. the campaign of tens of thousands of his soldiers and elite forces in northern gaza failed, and he was shocked by the catastrophic losses of his forces. therefore it was only natural after that for the enemy to bow its head, which has been buried deep in the mud since the flood attack of october 17. and to accept in a conceited manner what it had previously rejected and to agree along with its cabinet and its war council to a scheduled ceasefire. zionist israel conceded to preventing its warplanes from flying during the seasfire in the skies of gaza. sciences israel agreed to double the flow of aid, including fuel

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 aware —

i want to ask you, the times of israel has been reporting that the defence minister yoav gallant hasast two more months of intense fighting. is that true? well, this is what he said and we said it — we defined it very clearly that the current pause in the fighting to facilitate the release of hostages is only a temporary one. we are determined, as i said, to achieve the other goal of this operation as well, which is the dismantlement of the terrorist regime. we will no longer tolerate life next a terrorist enclave. and it's a decision that not only the government took but i can tell you are someone who also speaks to many israelis, it's a decision that our nation has taken. 0k. it is a situation that we will no longer _ 0k. it is a situation that we will no longer tolerate - 0k. it is a situation that we will no longer tolerate and | will no longer tolerate and hamas leaders say they will perpetrate the october massacre for a second, third and fourth time if they could.— time if they could. could you hel us time if they could. could you help us how _ time if they could. could you hel

the israeli defence minister yoav gallant says israeli troops are now "in the heart of gaza city" with target in mind — hamas. their infrastructure, their commanders, their bunkers. a month on from the terrible events of october 7th, gaza city is now cut off. the pictures show hundreds of palestinians, perhaps thousands on the move, most of them on foot. and many of them trying to get to the south, across front lines. not that the south is the safe zone, there were dozens were reported killed by israeli air strikes in the cities of khan younis, rafah, and deir al—balah, which is well south of gaza city. the pressure is mounting for a humanitarian pause. barely 30 trucks made it in yesterday. but for now, it is being resisted by the war cabinet, and the israeli prime minister who says force is the only answer. well, there will be no cease—fire, general cease—fire in gaza without the release of our hostages. as far as tactical little pauses, and our here, and i were there, we've had them before. i suppose we'll check the circumstances in order to enable goods, humanitarian goods to come
