Gaza offensive: Israel is preparing to attack by land, sea and air

Synopsis

Israel says it is moving toward the next stage of its offensive against Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rallies troops on the border, indicating that more actions are coming in the campaign against Hamas. The Israeli military prepares to attack Gaza by land, sea, and air, following a terror attack by Hamas that resulted in over 100 hostages taken in Israel. Israeli air strikes target locations in Gaza, with reports of more than 2,000 Palestinians killed and many more wounded. The World Health Organization warns that an Israeli order for evacuations from hospitals in Northern Gaza is a death sentence for critically ill patients. Many displaced Gazans seek refuge in United Nations schools in southern Gaza, where food, water, and medical supplies are running low. The situation worsens as hospitals struggle with overflowing morgues and a lack of resources, leaving health workers in dire conditions as they face the choice of abandoning patients or risking their own lives.
