Israel sets up 'war cabinet'

Israel's forming an emergency government, which includes a "war cabinet".

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz have agreed to form an emergency government. A "war cabinet" will also be set up - with Netanyahu, Gantz and the country's defence minister. It's after Saturday's surprise attack by Hamas militants which killed 1,200 people. We hear from Israelis affected by the attacks and get the latest reaction from our correspondents monitoring the region.

It's as people living in Gaza tell OS they're running out of supplies, including food, water and power. Earlier this week, Israel announced it was stopping electricity, fuel and water from crossing the border. Israeli air strikes have killed more than 1,000 people in Gaza.
