Defining the News
Hamas said Sunday its fighters were engaged in “heavy fighting” in Gaza where Israel has escalated ground operations, while the UN said desperate Palestinians burst into aid centres after weeks of siege and bombardment.
The health ministry in Gaza says the retaliatory Israeli bombardment has killed more than 8,000 people, mainly civilians and half of them children. UN chief Antonio Guterres said the situation was “growing more desperate by the hour” as casualties increase and essential supplies of food, water, medicine and shelter dwindle.
Communications were down for days after Israel cut internet lines ahead of the intensification of operations in the territory, although connectivity was gradually returning on Sunday. In a late-night televised address on Saturday, Netanyahu announced a “second stage of the war” to “eradicate” Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist movement that has governed Gaza since 2007.
Hamas has released four hostages but this week said “almost 50” had been killed by Israeli strikes, a claim that was impossible to verify.
