Israel's prime minister said Saturday night that the war has entered a new stage with ground forces heading into Gaza and an expansion of attacks.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday night that the military has sent ground forces into Gaza and is expanding attacks from the ground, air and sea.
Early in the war, Israel amassed hundreds of thousands of troops along the border. Until now, troops had conducted brief nightly ground incursions before returning to Israel.The Palestinian death toll in Gaza on Saturday rose to just over 7,700 people in the three weeks since the war began, with 377 deaths reported since late Friday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. A majority of those killed have been women and minors, the ministry said.
Israel says its strikes target Hamas fighters and infrastructure and that the militants operate from among civilians, putting them in danger. The military renewed such warnings Saturday, in leaflets dropped over Gaza. A large number of residents have not evacuated to the south, in part because Israel has also bombarded targets in so-called safe zones where conditions are increasingly dire.Humanitarian workers say the trickle of aid Israel has allowed to enter from Egypt in the past week is a tiny fraction of what is needed.
Netanyahu told relatives of the hostages that “we will exercise and exhaust every possibility to bring them home,” his office said in a statement. He did not specify a military or diplomatic plan. Guterres said he was “surprised by an unprecedented escalation of the bombardments and their devastating impacts” and “the situation must be reversed.”Among many, impatience was growing. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told hundreds of thousands of people at a pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul on Saturday that his country was making preparations to proclaim Israel a “war criminal” for its actions in Gaza. He did not elaborate and his office said it could not comment on the statement.
