- 21st day of war: The death toll remains at 1,400 Israelis killed in Hamas attacks on October 7. On the Palestinian side, retaliatory bombings killed about 7,000 Gazans, according to Hamas.
- According to the new report, 35 French were killed.
- According to the Israeli army, 224 Israelis or dual citizens are being held hostage in the Gaza Strip.
- “We hope that the hostages will be released,” Dr. Majid Al-Ansari, chief adviser to the Qatari Foreign Minister, assured in our columns. Qatar has been negotiating for the release of prisoners for two weeks.
- At the same time, the situation for the civilian population of Gaza is becoming increasingly dramatic. The 27th meeting on Thursday in Brussels demanded the creation of humanitarian corridors and an end to Israeli bombing.
A rocket wounded six people in a town bordering Egypt
The rocket fell at night on Taba, an Egyptian city bordering Israel. Six people were injured, according to AlQahera News, a TV channel close to Egyptian intelligence. Witnesses told AFP that the rocket fell on a hospital annex. Images broadcast on local media and social media showed a damaged building and several cars blown away in the surrounding area.
US military strikes two Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps installations in Syria
“These self-defense and precision strikes are in response to a series of ongoing and largely unsuccessful attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militias” since Oct. 17, U.S. Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a press release. The Pentagon announced the two operations after President Joe Biden sent a message to Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning against any attacks on American troops that threaten to widen the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Earlier on Thursday, the Pentagon said that since the beginning of the month, US troops and their allies have been the target of at least 16 drone and missile attacks (12 in Iraq and four in Syria).
“These targeted strikes in self-defense (…) are separate and distinct from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas and do not represent a change in our approach” to that war, Lloyd Austin insisted.
