For the eighth day in a row, the Israeli Air Force continues its strikes against the Gaza Strip after an extremely violent night in which many Palestinians were martyred and wounded, many of them women and children.

In an open war crime, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left their homes in what is called (forced displacement) after the Israeli occupation army warned them not to stay in their homes and asked them to go to the south of the Gaza Strip, without any condemnation from the Western countries that deployed all their capabilities to support Israel.
In a new and unsurprising violation, the funeral of Reuters photographer Issam Abdullah, who was killed and 6 other journalists were injured in an Israeli bombing that targeted their car last Friday evening in southern Lebanon, was held today.
The number of Palestinian casualties as a result of the Israeli bombing of Gaza has so far reached at least 2,215 Palestinians killed and more than 1,300 buildings destroyed
Extremely sensitive photos and videos are currently circulating showing the accumulation of bodies of Palestinian victims outside the largest hospitals in Gaza, where people are currently forced to quickly bury their relatives, and funeral prayers are performed quickly in hospitals.
In another crime against humanity, according to what was reported by Jordanian media, the Jordanian field hospital, which has been providing services to the people of the Gaza Strip since 2009, has been completely out of service as a result of the intense Israeli raids.
At the same time, the Israeli occupation army gave Gazans a 6-hour deadline to flee towards the south of the Strip, through specific streets, amid increasing possibilities for an Israeli ground invasion during the next few hours.
It is unclear how widely the messaging has been received on the ground given the current electricity and internet blackout.
According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, hectic discussions are currently taking place between senior leaders of the Israeli occupation army and politicians about ways to implement the ground operation in Gaza.

The newspaper adds that the main debate revolves between quantity and quality: whether they send large numbers of armored vehicles? Or do they rely on the quality of the new forces and weapons that are highly advanced and high-tech?
Yedioth Ahronoth also said that a senior officer in the Israeli army referred to the “heavy price” that Israel would pay if it entered into a complete and real maneuver in the Gaza Strip in order to overthrow Hamas’ rule, and thus become rooted in the mud of Gaza and regain its responsibility as an occupying force for the lives of 2.8 million Palestinians
The newspaper, which is considered one of the most famous Israeli newspapers, added that ground intervention in Gaza is very close, and will take place under the protection of the United States.
She said that the General Staff has begun approving the plans of the unit commanders, and until then the Air Force is working to disrupt the defense and leadership formations of Hamas, in order to reduce losses among the ranks of the Israeli forces.
Regarding Hezbollah's position, there are serious possibilities for it to enter the war, but its intentions will be effectively tested when Israel enters Gaza.
In light of the severe damage to Israeli deterrence, the protection provided by the United States is of utmost importance, adding that the Americans are prepared to intercept missiles and attack Iranian militias, so that the Israeli army can focus on its mission in Gaza.
The Israeli army said that it is still tracking the traces of about 150 Israeli prisoners who were captured by Hamas fighters last Saturday, at the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
.This comes despite the United Nations warning of the consequences of transferring residents of the northern Gaza Strip to its south, which it described as “catastrophic,” and called on Israel to reverse this action, which it described as “unprecedented.”

This also comes in the wake of a moral crime committed by the Israeli army yesterday, Friday, when it bombed trucks of displaced people who fled to the south in accordance with its warnings, all of whom were civilians, resulting in the death of 70 people and the injury of 200 others. Will the world speak out and describe this as terrorism?.
Israel Today newspaper said that the Israeli army had thwarted what it described as an "infiltration attempt" carried out by elements it said were affiliated with the Lebanese Hezbollah.
The Israeli military is vowing to hunt down the man it says was responsible for the attack: Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar. “He’s a dead man walking. We will get to that to man,” Lt Col Richard Hecht, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said Saturday.
This afternoon, local time, a number of Palestinian rockets were fired from Gaza at "Sderot", an Israeli settlement built on the ruins of the Palestinian town of Najd after its residents were forcibly expelled from it.
In general, according to the American New York Times, the Israelis have mobilized 360,000 reserve soldiers and sent many units to the southwestern region adjacent to Gaza.
In the West Bank, the number of reserve battalions of the Israeli army that were pushed into operational activity there reached 30 battalions.
It seems that from all of this, the Israelis have begun to have an idea brewing in their heads, this idea that the war is much more than just a conflict between them and Hamas. Rather, they are developing an understanding that the War of the Iron Swords is a decisive moment and a one-time opportunity through which they can reshape... The structure of the Middle East - which is also expected to affect power relations in the entire world.
Against the backdrop of the ongoing war, Moody's lowered the publication of Israel's rating announcement, which reflects to everyone that the Israeli economy will suffer greatly after the end of this war, and perhaps even during it.

It seems that the economic impact on Israel has become clear, prompting a number of states in the United States to purchase Israeli government bonds worth tens of millions of dollars "to provide the state with the necessary liquidity of money." Among the states that announced bond purchases: New York, Texas, Ohio, Florida and Illinois.
Ray Dalio, an American businessman, founder of Bridgewater Investment Company, one of the largest hedge funds in the world, also said that the war between Israel and Hamas increased the chances of a third world war by up to 50%
In a related context, Egypt and Israel agreed to allow American citizens to leave the Gaza Strip through the Rafah crossing today, Saturday, according to a US official accompanying Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on his current visit to the Middle East.
Despite that agreement, the Rafah crossing was subjected to new bombing today by Israeli warplanes.
At present, some various media sources have begun to talk about the Egyptians’ refusal to allow foreigners to leave Gaza through the Rafah crossing, except within an agreement that includes at the same time allowing humanitarian aid to enter millions of Palestinians trapped in Gaza in catastrophic conditions.
“The horrific attacks in Israel cannot justify the limitless destruction of Gaza,” the International Committee of the Red Cross said in a statement, adding that the call to evacuate northern Gaza violated international law.
Although US President Joe Biden had previously said that alleviating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza was one of his most important priorities, this crisis is worsening.
Joe Biden said in a speech in Philadelphia: “We cannot lose sight of the fact that the vast majority of Palestinians have nothing to do with Hamas and these horrific attacks, and they are suffering as a result as well.”
The head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas", Ismail Haniyeh, said on Saturday that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip amounts to "war crimes."
This morning, the IDF spokesman announced the liquidation of Murad Abu Murad, commander of the Hamas air force
In statements made by Tzachi Hanegbi, Hanegbi, who holds the position of Chairman of the Israeli National Security Council, admitted that he was wrong in his assessment that the Hamas organization had been deterred, which he expressed only 6 days before the Al-Aqsa flood attack.
But at the same time, Hanegbi denied what was reported by the Ynet website, affiliated with the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, about the fact that Egypt had warned Israel of the attack, saying: “No such warning was received.” Regarding the issue of prisoners, he said: “We are all obligated to them, but I cannot say that there are negotiations.”
A number of British cities witnessed some protest marches in support of Palestine, the most prominent of which was the march witnessed in the British capital, London, which started in front of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) building and marched to the headquarters of the British government at 10 Downing Street.
The coverage continues.. so stay with history of wars..
