PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES - Israel was on alert Thursday after its arch-foe Iran threatened reprisals over a strike in Syria this month that killed two Iranian generals and as the war against Hamas ground on in Gaza.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned Wednesday that Israel "must be punished and will be punished", days after one of his advisers said Israeli embassies are "no longer safe". "We are in the middle of the war in Gaza which continues in full force... but we are also preparing for scenarios of challenges from other arenas," he said in comments released by his office.German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock urged "maximum restraint", and Lufthansa said it had extended a temporary suspension of Iran flights until Saturday.
Palestinian militants also took about 250 hostages, 129 of whom remain in Gaza, including 34 the Israeli army says are dead. In Gaza's Nuseirat area, Imad Abu Shawish, 39, said "the situation is dire and still getting worse, bombardment hasn't stopped and is still happening now". Israeli war Cabinet member Benny Gantz said on Wednesday that "Hamas is defeated" militarily but pledged to keep fighting "what remains of it" in the years to come.Haniyeh's brother Nahed told AFP in Gaza that their family are "in the same situation" as other Gazans.Haniyeh insisted that his sons' deaths would not influence Hamas' position in ongoing talks in Cairo on a possible temporary ceasefire and hostage release deal.
