Israeli strikes killed at least 58 people in Gaza overnight, said local hospitals
Hello and welcome to the live scope of the Guardian War in Gaza and the wider crisis in the Middle East.
Israeli strikes killed at least 58 Palestinians across the Gaza strip overnight, according to three hospitals.
The Associated Press reports strikes that hit many houses in the middle of the night, killing men, women and children while they sleep.
Israel resumed heavy strikes across Gaza on Tuesday, destroying a stop stopping the war and facilitating the release of more than two dozen hostages. Israel blames the changing fight against Hamas because the militant group has denied a new proposal to leave their submissive agreement.
More than 400 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday, most women and children, according to the Gaza health ministry.
The latest strikes arrived one day after Israeli’s ground ground troops moved forward to Gaza for the first time since the stop of a stop in January, taking part of a corridor separating the northern third of the territory from the south.
Israel, who also cut off the supply of food, gasoline and human assistance to nearly 2 million Palestinians of Gaza, vowed to strengthen its operations until Hamas released the 59 hostages he was holding – 35 believed to be dead – and surrender to territorial control. The Trump administration, who took credit for the ceasefire, said it fully supported Israel.
We will bring you the latest developments throughout the day.
Basic events
Hamas says that communications with mediators continue to stop Israeli offensive in Gaza
Hamas It is said that communications with mediators are continuing Thursday to stop the Israeli offensive to Gazacontinued two days ago, and to push Israel to follow the ceal.
Hamas reiterated his commitment to the deal signed in January, Reuters reported.
Here are some of the latest images coming from Gaza:
Earlier on Thursday, Israel said it blocked a missile launched from Yemen, as Iran’s supported rebels claimed to have targeted Ben Gurion International Airport.
“A missile launched from Yemen is blocked … before crossing Israel’s territory,” Israel’s military said.
In a statement, Houthis said they were targeting Ben Gurion Airport with an “hypersonic ballistic missile”, and again targeting an American aircraft aircraft in the Red Sea.
Israel has launched ‘limited ground operation’ to obtain the Netzarim corridor
Jason Burke
As we mentioned earlier, the forces of Israel launched a “limited operation on the ground” to obtain the Netzarim corridor, a newly expanded road protected by strengthened bunkers dividing Gaza and is seen as important in controlling Palestinian’s damaged territory. Jason Burke has this report from Jerusalem:
The move was a significant increase of Israel’s new offensive in Gaza and came less than 36 hours after a massive wave of airstrikes that killed more than 400, including 183 children and 94 women, the health ministry said there.
A series of Israeli evacuation series telling about 150,000 people north and east of Gaza to leave their homes to avoid being trapped in a battle zone suggested Ground Assaults in the coming days, but the seizure of the Netzarim Corridor is the first main step to re-departing the territory in Gaza since the aircrafts Pause in the Hamas.
A private security company that has secured the checkpoints in the Netzarim Corridor withdrew overnight and Israeli’s troops in armored vehicles and tanks and to foot moved in dawn on Wednesday, according to Western aid officials.
The forces of Israel are believed to re -re -reoccupied the four strengthened bases there and closed all access. Traveling from north to South Gaza is impossible today, officials said.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, said the new offensive would continue until the “total victory” was achieved in Hamas and that the 59 remaining hostage held by the militant group was released.
As part of the ceasefire deal that came in January, Israel retreated from the Netzarim corridor.
Throughout Gaza, ordinary Palestinians – men and women, adults and children, sick and healthy – described their fear, lack of hope and confusion after Israel’s return to violence for the past two days. My colleagues Jason Burke and Malak a Tantesh have this report:
“Our hopes have risen but now we are back in the square,” Osama, a 40-year-old assistance worker who lives in Al-Mawasi, a coastal area designated as a “humanitarian zone” in advance of the conflict, which has since known for intense seizure and difficult cleanliness.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Israeli defense minister warned that the military was preparing to strengthen the new offensive.
Israel Katz said: “Gaza residents, this is the final warning. Get the advice of the US president. Return the hostages and remove Hamas, and other options will open for you – including the possibility of leaving for other places in the world for those who want. “
It is not immediately clear which statement Katz is referring to.
In Al-Mawasi, the tented camps stretched all over the coast were empty when the ceasefire agreed. Nearly half a million people returned to the north of Gaza to try to rebuild their damaged houses. Many are returning now, making their tents again to the dunes.
“The worst thing is not the seizure or uncertainty. It is the hope that we have to stop stopping.
