The Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation said that it is “greatly concerned about the developments on the ground and the dangerous Israeli escalation in the occupied Palestinian territory.”
Hamas-- a militant movement and one of the Palestinian territories which governs more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip-- infiltrated Israel and carried out an unprecedented aggression against impeccable citizens. This raised several questions about Israel’s intelligence prowess.
China urged the international community to act with greater urgency, step up input into the Palestine question, facilitate the early resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel, and find a way to bring about enduring peace.
“This was always the nightmare. We told ourselves that one day, the terrorists will come inside here,” said Jehan Berman, a 42-year-old in the small community of Avshalom near Gaza. It took eight hours, he said, for the Israeli military to arrive and start fending off the Hamas fighters.
“I say to the residents of Gaza: get out of there now, because we will act everywhere and with all the strength. At this hour, the IDF is clearing the terrorists out of the last communities. They are going community by community, house by house, and are restoring our control,” Netanyahu said.
Israel-Hamas war LIVE: Several Israeli forces and civilians were held hostage by Hamas militants as gunfire intensified after Netanyahu called for war. As of now, over 1,200 people have been killed on both sides and thousands wounded, making it the deadliest attack in Israel in decades.
After Hamas fired over 3,000 rockets in an unprecedented attack on Israel on Saturday as part of 'Operation Al-Aqsa Storm', Israel conducted retaliatory strikes on Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared war after which the Israeli strikes killed 161 people and injured over 1,000 in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the nation is "at war" after Hamas launched a rocket attack and infiltrated the country in a surprising show of strength. Around 16 casualties have been confirmed in Israel so far.
Hamas targeted Israel with around 5,000 rocket strikes on Saturday as part of its 'Operation Al-Aqsa Storm'. At least five people, including the head of the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council, have been killed in Israel so far.
The leader of Hamas' military wing Mohammed Deif said that the group has launched a new military offensive called 'Operation Al-Aqsa Storm' against Israel. One person has been killed in the rocket attacks in southern and central Israel.
The incident was the latest in a spiral of violence that has gripped the territory for over one and a half years. Around 200 Palestinians have been killed in bloody incidents so far this year in the West Bank. According to Israel, most of those who have been killed were militants.
The military said that it was aware that one of the Palestinians was shot and added that the Israeli military also suffered casualties. Palestinian health officials claimed that the Israeli security forces killed a 16-year-old Palestinian in a confrontation in the southern West Bank.
The Israeli army said that it shot three men near the Jenin refugee camp where a large-scale military operation took place last month.
In a latest development, five Pakistanis were arrested for travelling to Israel, as the former country does not recognise the Jewish state, exemplifying the tense relations between the two nations.
The West Bank operation in the Jenin refugee camp was one of the most intense military offensives by Israeli forces in the last two decades. At least 12 Palestinians were killed and several more were injured, as per the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The United States, Israel’s closest ally, supported the council statement and U. deputy ambassador Robert Wood told the council that the Biden administration shares Wennesland’s alarm.
Israel air strike: The Palestinian Health Ministry claimed a number of people were killed and injured in the airstrikes but he refused to elaborate further.
The early morning Israeli strikes followed an unusually large rocket barrage fired at Israel from southern Lebanon — some of the heaviest and most serious cross-border violence since Israel's 2006 war with Lebanon's Hezbollah militants.
In a surprise announcement on Friday, the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency downplayed the risk and urged the citizens to "trust their elected government".
Mehbooba Mufti slammed the BJP saying that the party weaponised their brute majority to bulldoze constitution of the country. She said that they have weaponised media to crush the voice of dissent and the judiciary as well.
