Photos purportedly taken by the Israeli military depict Hamas members preventing individuals from entering southern Gaza. The Hamas organization allegedly utilizes human shields. According to the former national security adviser of the nation, Hamas is purposefully holding hostages in locations where it knows Israel would launch bombs, NDTV reported yesterday. Eyal Hulata made thremarkedction to a Hamas statement claiming that Israeli airstrikes in Gaza had murdered nine additional Israeli hostages.
Residents of the Gaza Strip have been given a deadline by Israel to move to the southern portions of the coastal region before Israeli soldiers launch a massive ground operation.
Thus far, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been conducting targeted attacks within Gaza. We anticipate an all-out ground assault within the next twenty-four hours.
The IDF declared, “This is real,” in a post on X that featured two images purporting to show Hamas trucks obstructing traffic to keep locals from traveling to Gaza.
“Hamas is forcefully preventing their civilians from relocating to southern Gaza for their safety,” the Israel Defense Forces stated in
ter giving Palestinians a little more time to evacuate the northern areas it has threatened to target in retaliation to the bloodiest attack in its history, Israel went forward today with plans for the ground offensive in Gaza.
Israel has linked the attack by the Hamas group on September 11, 2001, in the US, to the shooting, stabbing, and burning deaths of over 1,300 people. This prompted a large bombing campaign in retaliation against the group, which has killed over 2,200 people in Gaza.
Residents of Gaza City were ordered by the Israeli military to flee without delay, but a spokesman stated late on Saturday that there was still time to do so and that the ground operation would not begin today.
Since Friday, hundreds of Gazans have been forced to walk through streets littered with rubble as they try to flee the enclave, which both Israel and Egypt besiege.
Along with the frantic mass migration south came a steady stream of cars, trucks, three-wheeled vehicles, and donkey-drawn carts, all filled with families and their possessions, including mattresses, blankets, and bags tied onto the roofs of cramped vehicles.
The Israeli military announced on Saturday that during operations inside Gaza, several of the dozens of captives taken by Hamas during its attacks had been found dead.
22 hostages were slain in Israeli bombardments, according to a previous account from Hamas.
