Eighth night of bombings on the Gaza Strip, but also on the border with Lebanon and on Aleppo in Syria, while the escape from the north of the enclave continues with great difficulty and the announced start of a large-scale Israeli ground operation is awaited. The PA Health Ministry reported that the death toll in Israeli raids since October 7 in Gaza and the West Bank rose to 2,384, while 10,250 were injured.
“Residents of Gaza, over the past few days we have been urging you to leave Gaza City and the north of the Strip and move south of Wadi Gaza for your safety.” “Today we inform you that Israel will enter Gaza between 10 a.m and 1:00 p.m. (local time, editor’s note) will not take the route indicated on our map to reach this area,” said military spokesman Avichay Adraee.
As the US deploys a second aircraft carrier in the eastern Mediterranean as a “deterrent against anti-Israeli actions”, Biden reiterates that Hamas is the “worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust” but that the Palestinians are not Hamas.
“I continue to follow with great pain what is happening in Israel and Palestine. I think of the many, especially the children and the elderly. I reiterate the call for the release of the hostages and urge the children and the sick. Elderly people, women and all civilians are not victims of the conflict. Humanitarian law must be respected, especially in Gaza, where it is urgent and necessary to ensure humanitarian corridors and help the entire population.” This is what the Pope said during the Angelus prayer.
