More than 9,200 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza so far, and another 1,400 people have died in Israel.
US secretary of state Antony Blinken has urged Israel to do everything in its power to protect civilians caught up in the fighting in Gaza and ensure they receive humanitarian aid, while underscoring the country’s right to defend itself.
Tensions escalated further ahead of a speech planned for Friday by Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. A war with Hezbollah would be devastating for both Israel and Lebanon. Hezbollah is much stronger than Hamas, with an arsenal of some 150,000 rockets and missiles, some believed to be precision-guided weapons capable of striking deep inside Israel.
Twenty-four Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the ground operation. Since the start of the war, seven Israeli soldiers and a civilian have been killed in different incidents along Israel’s border with Lebanon. It follows President Joe Biden’s suggestion for a humanitarian “pause” in the fighting. The aim would be to let in aid for Palestinians and let out more Palestinians who hold foreign passports and wounded.
Bombardment has driven more than half the territory’s 2.3 million people from their homes. Food, water and fuel are running low under Israel’s siege, and overwhelmed hospitals warn they are on the verge of collapse.
