UN chief on Hamas attack on Israel
Israeli tanks have attacked multiple Hamas targets in a limited “raid” of northern Gaza overnight, before withdrawing back into Israel.
Videos of the overnight operation showed a bulldozer levelling part of a raised bank and tanks firing shells, while explosions were seen near or amid a row of damaged buildings.
The military said the raid was carried out “in preparation for the next stages of combat” as the Israeli defence forces prepared for a large-scale invasion that Israeli leaders have threatened as part of the war to destroy Hamas.
“The soldiers have since exited the area and returned to Israeli territory,” the IDF added. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said Israel will go into Gaza but has refused to say when.
Israeli strikes have killed more than 6,500 Palestinians in Gaza since 7 October, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Meanwhile, more than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, mostly civilians who fled Hamas’s massacre, according to Israeli officials.
