Global National: Oct. 29, 2023 | UN warns civil order starting to break down in Gaza

The United Nations (UN) says civil order is starting to break down as Israel's offensive in Gaza continues. It's been reported that more aid trucks crossed into Gaza on Sunday, carrying food, medicine, and water. This brings the total number of trucks allowed through to 117 since they were first permitted nine days ago. However, this amount of aid only represents a quarter of what would typically be allowed on a single day. Daniele Hamamdijian reports.

Concerns increase for over 200 hostages taken by Hamas as Israel escalates its attacks in Gaza. The son of a Canadian woman believed to be among them is advocating for diplomacy, arguing that it gives his mother and other captives the best chance of being released. The primary goal of the Israeli military is still to bring hostages back. Mike Armstrong is in Jerusalem examining the tension between diplomatic efforts and military intervention.

Plus, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing criticism after he apologized for a social media post that blamed Israel's military and security services for the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7. The criticism was led by a member of Israel's emergency unity government and a former armed forces chief-of-staff. Netanyahu is being accused of playing the blame game. Redmond Shannon reports.

Amidst the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza, Global News received information about a team of Canadian Special Forces present in Israel. The team deployed after Oct. 7. Mercedes Stephenson provides more details about the deployment.
