Tanks and infantry raid Gaza as Israel “prepares battlefield” for ground offensive – BBC News

Published

on



Israeli tanks and infantry have carried out their biggest ground raid into Gaza since the start of the current conflict. Israel’s military said they were “preparing the battlefield” ahead of an expected full-scale ground offensive.

The overnight raid came as Israel continued its massive airstrikes in Gaza, which the Palestinian authorities say have claimed the lives of 7,000 people, most of them civilians and many of them children.

Israel says its operations are targeting Hamas, following their raid on Israel on 7 October in which 1,400 people were killed and more than 200 taken hostage.

    So you the bbc are in Israel,
    Do you have bbc reporters in Gaza,not independent journalists, could somebody tell me as I do not watch BBC and this was thrown in my face for some reason on YouTube,
    I find it quite ironic that you are biased towards the israelis whilst being safe in Israel,
    There is suffering on both sides,
    Please just state facts and not propaganda,
    And on another note isn't the BBC full of child rapists convicted ones,

    My dearest friend at work was a Palestinian Arab (Christian) who was born in a village in the Galilee. Their home was visited one night by a Jewish paramilitary group (Stern Gang, I believe) in 1948 and were told they should leave or they would be killed. They left for Lebanon, and later he came to the U-S as a young exchange student. He became a professor and journalist, with many Jewish friends, including me. He would read the Jerusalem Post and Ha'Eretz as well as Arab newspapers. One day I asked him how he could bear no hatred. He told me everyone had suffered, too many had died, and then said, "I have only one life to live, and I will not be consumed by this madness." That was more than 30 years ago, and I can still hear those words and will till the day I die.

    Don't tell me about humanity

    Here there is no electricity, water, or internet in Gaza. All neighborhoods have been destroyed using internationally prohibited weapons. They are still playing the role of the victim. They do not want people to see the truth about their lies in the news. Please search for the truth

    What war you all talking about? Israel has USA Europe with all their military and might against 7 year old boys with stones smd slings. You call that a war? I call it unfair. Israel has lost it's mind. They really think all their power will defeat Islam? You all really believe you are equal to us muslims on the battlefield? Do remember what happened when David(saw) defeated Goliath and be assured that victory is with the muslims. Israel and USA can only bomb people from a distance because that is how cowards fight. And that is what you godless people are. Cowards. 7 year old boys send shivers down big men's spine in Israel. This is why they have to go into Gaza with tanks, war planes and 300,00 troops. Because of fear. Israel knows they cannot beat Palestinians if their daddies UK and USA did not help them. The world will witness when Allah decrees the Matter, the victory of muslims over the disbelieveing people. Stand firm muslims. Do not condemn the righteous men in Gaza striving in Allah's Path agsinst the followers of satan. Stand with the righteous and do not let the evil doers have you condemning the mujahideen of Allah

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.
