Israel prepares to strike Gaza Stripcontrolled by Hamas, after warning Palestinians living in the area to flee south to the closed border with Egypt.
Meanwhile, Israel’s national security adviser warned the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah against starting a war on a second front, threatening “destruction of Lebanon” if he did.
Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in retaliation for the attacks a week ago.
In response, Israeli aircraft and artillery bombed Gaza with the most intense bombing it has ever seen, bringing the enclave of 2.3 million Palestinians under complete siege.
Gaza authorities say more than 2200 people dieda quarter of them girls and boysand nearly 10,000 were injured.
Rescue teams searched desperately survivors from Israeli night airstrikes.
Thousands of Palestinians fled the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday along the route of an expected Israeli ground attack as Israel bombarded the area with more airstrikes.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said Palestinians “will remain on our land” even though a million Gazans have reportedly fled since Israel began bombing.
Hamas’ surprise attack on October 7 plunged the region into a new crisis as furious Israeli leaders prepare to respond with overwhelming force.
“IDF soldiers and battalions are deployed throughout the country and are enhancing their operational readiness for the next phases of the war, with a particular focus on critical ground operations,” the army said in a statement.
He added that this would include air, sea and ground attacks and would cover an “extended battle arena”, without going into detail.
On Friday, the Israeli military ordered the population of the northern half of the Gaza Strip, including the enclave’s largest settlement, Gaza City, to immediately move south.
On Saturday he assured that he would guarantee the safety of Palestinians fleeing along two main roads. Upon expiration of the specified period, Israeli troops concentrated around the Gaza Strip.
Hamas asked the population not to leave the area and said exit roads were unsafe. According to him, on Friday, dozens of people were killed as a result of attacks on cars and trucks carrying refugees, although Reuters I couldn’t verify this myself.
In the vicinity of Gaza City, where Israel ordered to evacuate According to residents, Israeli militants blew up several houses with bombs.
“We experienced a night of horror. Israel punished us for not wanting to leave our home. “Is there any cruelty worse than this?” the father of three asked by phone from the hospital where he had taken refuge, refusing to give his name for fear of reprisals.
“I never intended to leave, I prefer to die and not leave, but I cannot see my wife and children dying in front of my eyes. “We are defenseless,” he said.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said it received an Israeli order to leave the hospital but did not do so because it had humanitarian duty to continue to provide services to the sick and wounded.
The only route out of the Gaza Strip that is not under Israeli control is through the crossing with Egypt at Rafah.
Egypt officially says its side is open, but traffic was disrupted for days by Israeli attacks.
Egyptian security sources said the Egyptian side was strengthening and that Cairo had no intention of accepting a massive influx of refugees. (Reuters)
