The Israeli army has announced that it is prepared for a "coordinated" air, land and sea offensive in Gaza...
Israel has given another ultimatum for the evacuation of residents from Gaza, warning of the start of the military exercise very soon.
Israel's top military spokesman has repeated calls for citizens in Gaza to evacuate to the south.
"It's for your personal safety," Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said. He did not say exactly when the operation would begin. Adm Hagari also accused Hamas of trying to use civilians as "human shields".
The Israeli army has announced that it is prepared for a "coordinated" air, land and sea offensive in Gaza. The IDF has released a statement saying it is preparing to "implement a wide range of operational offensive plans".
It was further announced that the necessary equipment has been prepared and the army has been armed.
"IDF battalions and soldiers have been deployed throughout the country and are increasing operational readiness for the next phases of the war, with an emphasis on important ground operations," the statement said. According to the BBC, this will be a massive and potentially lengthy operation. Meanwhile, in some published photos, it can be seen that Israeli tanks and vehicles have been placed on the border, surrounding Gaza.
Meanwhile, American President Joe Biden held separate talks today with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
Netanyahu thanked the US president for his support and said "unity and determination" were necessary for Israel to achieve its goals. Meanwhile, Abbas told Mr. Biden that he "absolutely rejects" the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza.
President Biden said earlier that the US is working with the Israeli, Egyptian and Jordanian governments to "increase support to alleviate the humanitarian consequences of the Hamas attack".
Meanwhile, Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, has called on Israel to stop attacks on Gaza, warning that the war could spread to other parts of the Middle East if Hezbollah is involved in the battle. According to him, something like this would constitute a "big earthquake" for Israel.
Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon's Hezbollah group has considered all war scenarios, so Israel must stop attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.
Israel considers Hezbollah to be the most serious threat, considering that the group has about 150,000 rockets, including high-precision ones, which can hit any part of Israel. This group, which has thousands of fighters who have taken part in Syria's 12-year conflict, also has various types of military drones. Hezbollah fighters have been engaged around Lebanon's borders with Israel, following attacks last week by the Palestinian militant group Hamas against Israel, leaving hundreds dead. On Saturday, the Israeli military said that an Israeli drone had hit a "cell" near the border with Lebanon that was trying to infiltrate Israel.
