The Israeli-Palestinian war situation, on the 4th day, the death toll has risen to more than 1,700 bodies, and Israel has captured the entire Gaza Strip. Hamas threatened to kill the hostages.
Foreign news agencies reported that the Israeli-Palestinian war situation on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 was day 4. There was no sign of the fighting ending. Israel continues to close its borders and carry out deadly airstrikes on Gaza. It comes after the Hamas militant group carried out its biggest attack in 50 years on Saturday in several towns in southern Israel as part of a revenge operation. It sent armed militias to kill and kidnap people.
Israel’s offensive on Tuesday devastated several districts of Gaza, destroying schools and residential buildings. Even United Nations buildings were destroyed or damaged. Hamas has fired more than 5,000 Qassam rockets at Israel since the fighting began.
Israel has called for the mobilization of 300,000 reservists, raising concerns. They may be preparing for a ground attack. Israeli airport officials said El Al and Israel Airlines had increased their flights to bring more bookers into the country, risking close clashes in communal areas including underground tunnels where the hostages were held.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Dürk issued a warning. Israel’s total blockade of the Gaza border prevents civilians from accessing essential supplies for survival. There is a binding demand that is prohibited under international law that people and civilian property still in use during an attack must be protected.
On the other hand, the World Health Organization called for the opening of the road to human rights. Bringing supplies and medical equipment to hospitals that lack fuel and electricity to enter and exit the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has threatened to kill an Israeli hostage for every house destroyed by Israel. And it won’t negotiate a declaration when they come under attack, so the U.S. immediately warned that the threat to imprison this barbaric armed group must be taken seriously.
A Hamas spokesman said: “He informed the people of the Israeli port city of Ashkelon, which has been hit hard since the first day of the war. Leave the premises without divulging any further details by 2:00pm on Tuesday, October 10th.
