Israeli ground forces are attacking Hamas militants and infrastructure in northern Gaza. The military said Tuesday that some 800,000 people have fled south since the war began more than three weeks ago, even as warplanes continue to strike all across the sealed-off territory.
Israeli ground forces have pushed deeper into Gaza, advancing in tanks and other armored vehicles on the territory’s main city as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects calls for a cease-fire.Israeli ground forces have pushed deeper into Gaza, advancing in tanks and other armored vehicles on the territory’s main city as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects calls for a cease-fire.
“But we also continue to strike in other parts of Gaza. We are hunting their commanders, we are attacking their infrastructure, and whenever there is an important target that is related to Hamas, we strike it,” he said. Conricus said some 800,000 people have heeded the Israeli military’s orders to flee from the northern part of the strip to the south. But tens of thousands of people remain in and around Gaza City, and casualties are expected to mount on both sides as the battle moves into
Netanyahu, who faces mounting anger over Israel’s failure to prevent the worst surprise attack on the country in a half century, also said he had no plans to resign. UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini accused Israel of “collective punishment” of the Palestinians, and of forcing their displacement from northern Gaza to the south, where they are still not safe.Over 1,400 people have died on the Israeli side, mainly civilians killed during Hamas’ initial attack, also an unprecedented figure. Palestinian militants have continued firing rockets into Israel.
