The Israeli military has called for the evacuation of over 1 million civilians from Gaza City, asking them to relocate south within 24 hours.
This move comes as tanks are amassed near the Gaza Strip, indicating a possible ground invasion. The United Nations warns of severe humanitarian consequences if such a mass movement occurs. Israel’s ambassador to the U.N. criticizes the response, deeming it “shameful.”
Hamas dismisses the warning, calling it propaganda. The conflict has resulted in a high death toll on both sides, and humanitarian concerns are mounting, with hospitals in Gaza facing fuel shortages.
The U.S. provides unwavering support to Israel but urges restraint. Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of using white phosphorus munitions, a claim denied by the Israeli military. The conflict prompts security measures worldwide, with charter flights arranged for citizens wishing to leave Israel.
The situation is marked by civil unrest and increased police presence in various regions. The conflict reflects longstanding tensions, economic hardship, and political challenges in the region.
