Palestinians flee Gaza City districts as Israel begins first stages of assault | BBC News
Palestinians are fleeing parts of Gaza City after the Israeli military began the first stages of a planned ground offensive, officials in the city said.
Israel’s troops have established a foothold on the outskirts of the city – which is home to more than a million Palestinians – after days of intense bombing and artillery fire.
It has prompted UN Secretary General António Guterres to renew calls for an immediate ceasefire “to avoid the death and destruction” an assault would “inevitably cause”.
A military spokesman said troops were already operating in the Zeitoun and Jabalia areas to lay the groundwork for the offensive, which Defence Minister Israel Katz approved on Tuesday and which will be put to the security cabinet later this week.
In a statement, Hamas accused the Israeli leader of continuing a “brutal war against innocent civilians in Gaza City” and criticised what it said was his “disregard” for a new ceasefire proposal from regional mediators. Israel has yet to formally respond to the plan.

Russia has been ramping up its efforts to strangle Ukraine’s commercial links to the outside world, by launching waves of attacks along the country’s Black Sea coastline.
While there have been Russian attacks on international vessels before, they’ve never been so numerous or so deadly. Ukraine’s port administration says there were 57 Russian attacks on civilian vessels last month. Ukraine’s once bustling ports – such as Odesa, Chornomorsk, and Pivdennyi – are almost devoid of ships.
Ukraine is also targeting shipping in the war, with recent, highly successful attacks on Russian vessels, including sanctioned tankers carrying oil, as well as ships involved in carrying supplies to Russian-occupied Crimea.
Using its own drones, Ukraine has struck around 200 Russian vessels, bringing traffic in the strategic Sea of Azov to a virtual standstill.

In one of the deadliest strikes across Kyiv this year – which started after midnight on Wednesday – at least 44 people were injured after residential buildings, a railway station and warehouses were hit, Zelensky said.
The Russia defence ministry said it had struck logistics hubs and supply centres in Kyiv and the surrounding region.

Iran says it has agreed shipping route with Oman, as Trump continues military threats | BBC News
Iran says it has agreed a shipping route with Oman in the Strait of Hormuz that could pave the way for the vital waterway to reopen.
It follows more military threats from US President Donald Trump, if Iran doesn’t agree to a deal for free passage.
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they have attacked a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea, while Israel has conducted strikes in southern Lebanon, accusing Hezbollah of violating the ceasefire.
And inside Iran, the UN say 56 people have been executed since mid-March on charges relating to national security.
