Israel launches ground offensive in south Gaza | BBC News

Published

on



Israel has confirmed that a ground offensive has begun in southern Gaza. It said it would be “no less powerful” than its offensive in the north of the territory.

The Hamas-run health authorities in Gaza says at least 15,500 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel began its military operation.

Since a week-long ceasefire ended, Israel has resumed its massive bombardment of Gaza. Residents of Khan Younis described it as the heaviest wave of attacks so far.

The Israeli authorities say members of the Hamas leadership are hiding in the city, where hundreds of thousands of people have been sheltering after fleeing fighting in the north in the early stages of the war.

There has also been spiralling violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

    The untited state and europ support and attend war crime. We the new generation see their immorality and duplicitous behavior, they are very generous to Ukraine but the exact opposite to innocent Palestinians. I do not know what I am saying or writing at this moment, but I know that I am writing for humanity. It's amazing when they send aid to Gaza, they're saving the war but they're sending food through another door, how funny is that?

    Israel will lose in the ground battle against Hamas. Their army is coward although having every sophisticated arms and weapons. Their advantage is having long range missiles, warplanes. Killing civilians. Shame on you Israel.

    The United States bans all acts of sabotage. On the other hand, they sent troops and killed the people of Palestine. Israel would not have been able to attack Palestine for 5 days if Asr had not been given.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
