Ahead of a possible ground invasion, Israel's military has asked some 1.1 million Palestinians to relocate to the blockaded enclave's south within the next 24 hours.
Palestinian president met the US Secretary of State in Amman, stressed the necessity to stop 'Israeli aggression,' opposed evacuation of Gaza residents. / Photo: AAThe Israeli military dropped flyers on Palestine's Gaza, warning residents to flee"immediately" to the south, as a ground invasion in the besieged enclave appeared imminent.
Israel's order to Palestinians to evacuate the north of blockaded Gaza is a"forced transfer" that constitutes"a crime", Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit has said. "The most important thing now is to stop the bloodshed," Putin said, adding his country was"ready to coordinate with all constructive partners."At least 258 Israeli soldiers have been killed in fighting against Palestinian fighters since Hamas attacked Israel, the army has said."The bereaved families of 258 fallen soldiers have been formally notified," army spokesman Daniel Hagari told a press briefing, revising up an earlier toll of 169 slain troops.
The statement came amid Israeli reports saying the Israeli army is ready to launch a ground offensive in Gaza and is awaiting approval at the political level. Dujarric said the order by the Israeli military also applied to all UN staff and those sheltered in UN facilities, including schools, health centres and clinics.A prominent civilian member of Hamas has defended the group's strike on Israel in a video released by the group and decried the civilian killings in besieged Gaza from the seven days of Israeli air strikes that have followed.
Although Tehran has been a long-term backer of Hamas, Iranian officials have been adamant that the country had no involvement in Saturday's blitzkrieg against its arch enemy Israel. "The continuation of war crimes against Palestine and Gaza will receive a response from the rest of the axis. And naturally, the Zionist entity and its supporters will be responsible for the consequences of that," Amirabdollahian said.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military bombarded a residential building in the densely populated Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least 45 people and wounding dozens more, Gaza's Interior Ministry said as fighting reached its seventh day.
