Hamas's leader has met with Iran's foreign minister to discuss the group's attack on Israel, with Iran pledging to cooperate with the militants to help them achieve their goals.
Israel is preparing to launch a 'coordinated offensive' on the Gaza Strip, after the deadline given to Palestinians to move south to escape passed. Up to 1.1 million people on the sliver of land were offered safe passage south of the Gaza Wadi river by Israel's Defence Forces until 4pm local time on Saturday , ahead of what is expected to be an all-out offensive by land, sea and air.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Defence Force said its troops conducted raids into Gaza to battle insurgents and hunt for more than 120 civilians kidnapped in last weekend's shock assault by militants on southern Israel. It is the first time Israel has stated ground troops have been operating inside the strip. Israeli media reported remains of people who had gone missing in last week's attack had been found during the IDF raids.
