Israel was pummelling the 140-square-mile Gaza Strip with airstrikes of a magnitude and intensity not seen in its past assaults.
As Israeli troops moved toward the border with the Gaza Strip before a possible ground invasion to dismantle Hamas, a United Nations official warned of a humanitarian “disaster” in the blockaded territory.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned Hamas’ “reign of terror” as he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv to show US support after Hamas attacks in southern Israel left more than 1200 people dead, the deadliest assault on the country in more than half a century. — Israel’s military said Thursday that its troops were preparing “for the next stage of the war”, signalling that a ground invasion of Gaza could be coming.— Israel has cut off water and electricity supplies to Gaza, where the health system “has begun to collapse”, the Health Ministry there said.Staff members at one hospital are scrambling to treat the wounded, who are crammed into corridors that are also filled with people who fled their homes amid Israeli airstrikes.
