Arab league has joined the collective called on the Israel to end the ‘genocide against the Palestinians’
Iran has called on Islamic and Arab countries to form a united front against Israel, as the West ramped up warnings against exploiting the volatile situation and touching off a regional conflict.
Tehran, which financially and militarily backs Hamas, has come under intense scrutiny since fighters of the Islamist group stormed across Israel’s southern border at the weekend, shooting people dead in their homes and on the streets in an onslaught that claimed more than 1,200 lives.
Israel’s war with Hamas continues to escalate, with more missiles raining down on the densely-packed Gaza Strip and the death toll on both sides climbing ahead of a widely anticipated Israeli ground offensive in the Palestinian territory.
Hamas claimed Friday that Israel’s strikes killed at least 13 of the scores of Israeli and foreign hostages it seized during its brutal weekend terror attack on southern Israel.
The Israeli military said Friday that troops have carried out “localized raids” in Gaza to hunt down Hamas militants and try to find hostages.
The United Nations said Israel’s military told it late Thursday night that everyone in northern Gaza should evacuate to the south of the enclave within 24 hours, raising expectations an Israeli invasion was imminent.
A U.N. spokesperson told CBS News the world body “considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences,” but Israeli U.N. Ambassador Gilad Erdan dismissed the U.N.’s response “to Israel’s early warning” as “shameful” and said it ignored the brutality of the attack on Israel.
Israel’s military said Hamas’ attack and ongoing rocket fire had killed more than 1,300 people as of Friday, and at least 27 Americans are known to be among the dead.
In Gaza, the Health Ministry said at least 1,799 people, including 583 children, had been killed by Israel’s retaliatory strikes as of Friday, with more than 7,388 others wounded.
