The Israeli army has warned Palestinians to leave Gaza for Egypt. “The Rafah border crossing is still open,” said military spokesman Daniel Hagari, adding: “Everyone can go.” I would advise them to go out. Israel has “full control” over the border with Gaza, the spokesman said. On the last day – he added – “not a single terrorist penetrated the defenses”. While the army estimates that a small number of Hamas militants are still hiding in Israeli territory. Last night around 200 targets were hit by the Israeli Air Force in the Gaza Strip. Especially in Rimal and Khan Yunis. The Israeli army considers the two places to be privileged “terror centers” for Hamas. Where do “a large number of terrorist attacks against Israel” come from? The targets included many “operational residences” of Hamas and Islamic Jihad militiamen.
The Gaza Parliament is a legitimate target
The army then backed down. The Rafah border crossing is actually closed. Meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians have converged on southern Gaza in the towns of Rafah and Khan Yunes to try to cross into Egypt. The Rafah transit crossing remains closed for now and it is unknown when it will reopen. While they waited, the displaced people sought hospitality from relatives. Hagari also said that the parliament and ministerial buildings in Gaza were legitimate targets of the Israeli offensive. “If there is a gunman firing rockets from there, they become a military target,” he said. The IDF also responded to Hamas, which yesterday threatened to kill the hostages if the offensive did not stop: “If they hurt one of these grandmothers or one of these newborns or one of these children, things will not get better, and they “We know,” said another IDF spokesman, Lt. Col. Richard Hecht. Then further X He stated that the Rafah border crossing was closed
The reservists in Malpensa
Meanwhile, the reservists heading into the country are leaving Milan Malpensa. “I am Israeli and lived here in Italy for a few years on business. The reservists called me, so I’ll be right back. I feel like I lived very well in Italy, but when your friends or family are sick, I can’t sit idle,” one of them tells the Ansa news agency. And again: “I am also an ambulance driver in Israel, volunteer.” When I heard this news I cried, a lot, the first thing I tried to do was call my friends, everyone is fine, even my family. Then I tried to find the first available ticket. The children are shocked by the alarms, but my family is not in the south, where there was a pogrom and no war, nothing like this has ever happened. It feels like World War II when Nazis killed Jews. This time it will take a long time, it is not like other terrorist attacks, it will take longer.” Another reservist explains: “The Jewish people have always survived from the beginning and we will win against the power of the devil this time too.” ” We have no other choice, we have to turn back,” said only a third person who answered the call and walked to the gate with his little son.
