Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Deploys Infantry Vehicle Near Border

At least 2,269 Palestinians have been killed and 9,814 others wounded due to Israeli attacks in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian health ministry said in a report on Saturday. The Israeli military, meanwhile, said that militants who were allegedly trying to infiltrate from Lebanon were killed by a drone, news agency Reuters reported. The Israeli Air Force has also claimed to have killed Merad Abu Merad, the head of the Hamas Aerial System in Gaza. The deadline for ore than one million Gaza residents to flee south passed early Saturday, as the Israeli military prepares a ground offensive, for which it amassed tanks on Friday. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that retaliation for the Hamas attack last week in the southern part of the country has “just begun”. The Israeli military said it had carried out “localised raids” inside the Gaza strip, even as the the death toll from Israeli strikes across Gaza has gone up to 1,799, while over 6,000 people have been injured, news agency Reuters quoted the Health Ministry as saying. The Palestinian United Nations envoy Riyad Mansour, has appealed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to do more to stop a “crime against humanity”.
