Another two hostages have been confirmed dead after being abducted by Hamas on 7 October.

Eliyahu Margalit,75, is the father of one of the hostages, nurse Nili Margalit, who was released yesterday.

They were kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz.

The second is a man who was kidnapped by Hamas during the music festival in Re'im.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 178 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, since the end of the truce this morning.

"Most of whom are children and women," the ministry says in a statement. It adds that there were also 589 injuries recorded during the day.

As the Israeli military resumes its strikes on Gaza and rockets are fired from southerm Gaza into Israel, aid agencies say resuming fighting will worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in the strip.

Francesca Albanese, the United Nation’s Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, told the BBC Newshour programme that the end of the truce was a “serious mistake”.

"It’s irresponsible given the humanitarian catastrophe that people in Gaza are in,” Albanese said.

“The population in Gaza… cannot bear any more violence, any more bombing,” she added.

Asked what she thought was the best solution moving forward, she said that the international community “should exercise true leadership in upholding international law as the only possible way out, in the interest of both the Israelis and the Palestinians.”

Albanese said that to allow the demilitarisation of Hamas and the withdrawal of the Israeli army, there needs to be an independent peace-keeping operation in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Special rapporteurs are independent experts appointed by the UN's Human Rights Council to follow and report on human rights situations in certain regions.

A temporary pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas came to an end this morning, with rockets being fired to and from Gaza.

Both sides have accused each other of breaching the deal. The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 100 people have been killed since this morning.

The Lebanese militia group, Hezbollah, has fired on Israeli army positions across the border following the resumption of fighting in Gaza.

Israeli forces say they returned fire and shot down what they described as an aerial target launched from Lebanon.

Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, says that two people were killed in the southern Lebanese border town of Houla.

Before the week-long pause in fighting in Gaza, about a hundred people – mostly Lebanese fighters – were killed during frequent exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces.

Hamas in Gaza has also launched a barrage of rockets at Israel, setting off alarms in several central Israeli towns.

The militants say one targeted Tel Aviv, and there are no reports of injuries.

Aid agencies have condemned the end of the temporary seven-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Save the Children says it is a "death sentence for children in Gaza", and that there are already reports of injured people after fighting resumed this morning.

The organisation says a lack of fuel, and damage to infrastructure, is preventing supplies from getting in. They estimate 1.8 million people have been displaced from their homes as a result of the conflict.

Elsewhere, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) says that the pause in fighting has "saved lives" and highlighted the "death, destruction and civilian suffering inside Gaza".

The IRC says 15,000 people have been killed in the conflict so far - 6,000 of them children.

It says fighting, and the scarcity of water, electricity and fuel, has "collapsed Gaza’s healthcare system".

The humanitarian organisation is calling for diplomatic efforts to stop the conflict and free hostages.

Ceasefire talks have collapsed, a source close to the negotiations in Doha has told the BBC.

Despite airstrikes resuming early on Friday morning after a week-long truce, talks were still ongoing in the background in the hopes of further extending the temporary pause in fighting.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Hamas bears responsibility for the truce coming to an end.

"Hamas reneged on commitments it made. Even before the pause came to an end, it committed an atrocious terrorist attack in Jerusalem, killing three people," Blinken tells reporters as he boards his plane in Dubai.

Hamas claimed responsibility for a deadly shooting at a bus stop in Jerusalem on Thursday.

Blinken adds that Hamas did not uphold commitments it made in terms of releasing certain hostages, and that the US remained "intensely focused" on freeing hostages.

"We're determined to do everything we can to get everyone reunited with their families, including pursuing the process that had worked for seven days," Blinken says, adding that work is continuing "almost hour by hour".

Blinken says he told Israel that it was imperative to put in place "clear protections" for civilians in Gaza and that he discussed how to create a "durable, lasting and secure peace" with Arab foreign ministers during his brief trip to the emirate.

If you are just joining us, here is the latest in Gaza:

• Fighting resumed this morning after a week-long temporary ceasefire between Israel and Hamas came to an end
• The Hamas-run health ministry says more than 100 people have been killed so far today. Israel says it has hit more than 200 "terror targets"
• The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, blamed Hamas for the resumption of violence. He told reporters the group had broken promises and fired rockets into Israel before the ceasefire had expired

• Israel says it shared its plans to reduce civilian casualties with Blinken - after he warned the destruction of Gaza's north could not be repeated in the south
• The deaths of three residents of Israel's Kibbutz Nir Oz, thought to be held captive by Hamas, were announced - Arye Zalmanovich, Maya Goren and Ronen Engel

A senior adviser to the Israeli PM has told the BBC that the IDF will expend "maximum effort" to reduce civilian casualties in Gaza.

Mark Regev tells the BBC's Newshour programme that Israel shared its plans with US secretary of State Antony Blinken, which he says showed the senior diplomat that "we will make every effort to see civilians safely evacuate areas of combat".

He says the very different population density and terrain between south and north Gaza means Israel believes it will be able to reduce civilian causalities - particularly by using warnings and "designated specific zones which are safer areas".

Asked about the warning leaflets being dropped on Gaza telling people to evacuate, Regev says he thinks the process "will be less confusing as time goes on".

As we've been reporting, Israel's retaliatory strikes on Hamas in Gaza have resumed today after a week-long truce.

Despite the resumption in the fighting, negotiations for a new agreement between Israel and Hamascontinue through Egyptian and Qatari mediators. The initial deal involved the release of women, teenagers and children.

For every Israeli citizen returned, three Palestinians were freed from Israeli jails.

In Gaza, 137 people who were kidnapped in the Hamas attacks on 7 October remain hostage – 20 women and 117 men, including Israeli military personnel.

Hamas says it is not holding all of them, which complicates future releases. The group is also said to be opposed to keeping the same conditions from the initial deal to free male hostages.

A short time ago, we reported the death of Kibbutz Nir Oz hostage 85-year-old Arye Zalmanovich. Now, the kibbutz has announced two more of its residents who have died.

Maya Goren, 56,was a kindergarten teacher and nanny in the kibbutz. Her husband Avner was among those murdered in the 7 October attack.

Ronen Engel, 55, was a photographer and volunteer for Israel's emergency services. His wife and two daughters were taken hostage by Hamas and were among those released during the truce this week.

The Israel-Hamas truce, that resulted in a seven-day ceasefire in Gaza, led to the release of 110 hostages kidnapped in the Hamas attacks on 7 October. In return, Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails were freed, and much needed humanitarian aid entered Gaza in larger quantities.

After the truce ended, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of breaching the deal, saying it had not released all the kidnapped women today, and by firing rockets at Israel. Hamas, in turn, said Israel had violated the agreement, by not allowing fuel to be delivered to northern Gaza.

The resumption of the fighting could worsen the humanitarian situation in Gaza. The ceasefire had allowed an increase in the number of trucks with aid entering the territory. Now, this could be at risk. The Israeli offensive could also lead to a new wave of displacement, as the focus of the military is likely to be in southern areas once considered safe.

And, worryingly, the new casualties will put renewed pressure on a health system that is already on the verge of collapse. The Hamas-run health ministry says at least 54 people have been killed since the truce ended.

The Israeli military says it has struck more than 200 "terror targets" since the end of the ceasefire this morning – including in Khan Younins and Rafah in the south – with ground, air and naval units.

"The IDF struck areas booby-trapped with explosives, terror tunnel shafts, launch posts, and operational command centres designated by Hamas for use in the renewed fighting," the statement adds.

The IDF also reiterates its assertion that Hamas was responsible for violating the terms of the pause in fighting.

Earlier, Israel blamed Hamas for breaking the truce by failing to release all women and children hostages, as well as attacking Israel with rocket fire.

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 109 people have been killed since the temporary ceasefire expired this morning.

It added that hundreds have also been wounded. The BBC cannot verify these figures.

In total more than 14,800 people have been killed, including about 6,000 children, since Israel began its campaign against Hamas in Gaza in retaliation for the 7 October attacks.

Rishi Sunak “deeply regrets” the collapse of the humanitarian pause in Gaza, his office said after meeting a Qatari leader who played a significant role in the truce negotiations.

"The leaders deeply regretted the collapse of the pause and reiterated the importance of ongoing efforts to secure the release of all hostages and ensure humanitarian assistance reaches those in need in Gaza," a spokesperson for the UK Prime Minister's office said.

Sunak is in Dubai for the Cop28 summit where he has also met Israeli, Jordanian and Egyptian leaders.

The prime minister also added that Hamas had "demonstrated that it could not be a partner for peace" and "could have no future in Gaza", and that in the longer term there needed to be a two-state solution.

During his meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah, Sunak said that the UK was continuing to press Israel to adhere to International Humanitarian Law and contain settler violence in the West Bank.

A spokesman for the Israeli government has urged civilians in Gaza to use its new evacuation zone map, external to protect themselves.

In a statement earlier, Eylon Levy said the Israeli military had been sending messages to people "calling on them to evacuate from specific areas that are being used by Hamas for terrorist activities".

He said they should use designated evacuation routes to escape these areas "for their own safety".

No identified safe routes are included on the map, which breaks down all of Gaza into hundreds of numbered areas, but Levy says the "details are by now familiar to the people of the Gaza Strip".

Previously the Salah al-Din road, the main route running north to south in Gaza, and the coastal road near the Mediterranean sea have been used for people evacuating north to south.

Earlier, the IDF dropped flyers on Gaza warning people living in Qarara, Kharbat Khoza'a, Absan and Bani Sohaila, which are all to the east of Khan Younis and Salah al-Din.

The flyers containing the named places include a QR code linking to the IDF's new map, but did not give the area numbers that have been published online.

A kibbutz in southern Israel has said one of its elderly residents, who was kidnapped on 7 October, has been killed in Gaza.

In a post on Facebook, external, the account for Kibbutz Nir Oz says 85-year-old Arye Zalmanovich died in Hamas captivity after being kidnapped on 7 October.

The post paying tribute to the father of two and grandfather to five, describes him as a "man of the earth" who worked in agriculture and with crops for his entire life.

Nir Oz was the site of one of the worst massacres committed by Hamas during the attacks on southern Israel.

Video verified by the BBC shows the aftermath of an alleged Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.
