A #Hamas official has urged residents of the north of #Gaza to ignore it #Israel 's evacuation order

The militant group has long been criticised by the international community for using civilians as human shields - putting innocent people in danger to protect their fighters.

Hamas took power of the Gaza strip after it won the legislative elections in 2006, before reinforcing its power in Gaza the following year by ousting the rival Fatah movement of President Mahmoud Abbas.


The Wadi Gaza is a river valley located around the centre of the #Gaza Strip, snaking across its entire width and ending in the Mediterranean Sea. It is known for its coastal wetlands and biodiversity.

#Israel 's #UN ambo defended the #evacuation order saying it was giving an early warning to the residents of #Gaza to "minimise harm to those not involved" in its military operation against #Hamas "For many years, the UN has turned a blind eye to the arming of Hamas, its use of the civilian population and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip as a hiding place for its weapons and murder," Gilad Erdan said "It is better for the UN to focus now on returning the #hostages , condemning Hamas"


The #Israeli military has told the #UN that everyone living north of Wadi Gaza should relocate to southern #Gaza in the next 24 hours, acc to a UN spox

The UN says this amounts to approx 1.1 million people - about half the population of the entire Gaza Strip. The affected area includes densely populated Gaza City.

The alert was given just before midnight local time

Poll finds 86% of Israeli Jews "said the surprise attack from Gaza is a failure of the country's leadership" and 56% think Bibi should resign after the conflict ends.

Guessing that's not quite the rally-around-the-flag effect he was hoping for.

The death toll in #Israel from the #Hamas attacks has reached 1,200 - while more than 1,100 people have been killed by Israeli air strikes on #Gaza


Via Rushdi Abualouf, #BBC correspondent in Gaza:
The #Hamas-run health ministry in #Gaza has said the hospitals now have to limit their work to life-saving treatment, so at the moment they won't treat anyone who is not in a life-threatening condition.


A recap of main events today (while i was working on a completely different story so details to come later):
-emergency government and war cabinet formed in #Israel

- #Gaza 's only power station stopped working, leaving the territory without main electricity

17 Brits, including children are dead or missing after #hamas attack in Israel


Ofcourse we want Hamas destroyed by all means possible and Israel has every right to do that. But the collective punishment of millions of people in Gaza by cutting off electricity, water, medicine and food supplies is disproportional. Also it actually helps Hamas , increasing the hatred. #Opinion #Gaza #Geopolitics #Hamas #Israel @geopolitics


V Times of Israel:
#Israel ’s #Kan public broadcaster is opening a new channel where it will list the names of #Israelis killed in the devastating #Hamas assault and ongoing fighting.
