- THAT Hamas, which is in power in the Gaza Strip, launched a surprise attack on Israel on an unprecedented scale last Saturday.
- According to the latest report, the attack killed more than 1,300 civilians on the Israeli side. For its part, Gaza’s health ministry reports that more than 2,200 people have died, including 724 children.
- Israel is preparing an offensive “in the air, sea and land” in Palestinian territory. However, an Israeli army spokesman confirmed that the offensive would not begin on Sunday for humanitarian reasons. Palestinian civilians were given additional time to escape from the north of the territory.
- Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna arrived in Israel on Saturday. She will meet with the families of French citizens “affected by the disappearance of their loved ones.”
Israel is preparing a “joint and coordinated attack from air, sea and land”
In a statement released on Saturday, the Israeli army outlined details of the upcoming offensive in the Gaza Strip. The IDF says it is preparing to “expand the offensive” by implementing a “wide range of offensive operational plans.” Thus, the Israeli army refers to a “joint and coordinated attack from air, sea and land.”
Israeli offensive will not begin this Sunday, army spokesman says
Anticipating a ground offensive for which Israel says it is preparing, the army on Friday urged civilians in the northern Gaza Strip, or 1.1 million people, to move south and urged them on Saturday “not to delay.”
According to the Israeli army, the center of operations of the Palestinian Islamist movement is in Gaza City, in the north of the territory.
But an army spokesman said on Saturday evening that they were still giving the Palestinians time to withdraw to the south and assured that a ground offensive would not begin on Sunday for humanitarian reasons.
