Israeli troops will advance wherever Hamas is, including the southern part of the Gaza Strip. This was confirmed by a military spokesman, amid growing indications that an offensive in the south may be imminent. After forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip, the Israelis are now demanding the complete removal of Palestinians from the autonomous territory.
"We are asking people to move," said an adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Therefore, Israel has also ordered the evacuation of the Al Shifa hospital in the north of Gaza, within an hour. About 5,000 people, including displaced persons and patients, have been evacuated from the hospital complex in Gaza City. This is what the correspondent of the broadcaster Al Arabiya reported, specifying that about 450 patients remained in critical condition in the hospital.
Meanwhile, the White House welcomed Israel's decision to allow two fuel trucks a day to enter the Palestinian territory on the border with Egypt. The balance of this war is getting more and more tragic. Over 16,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza in 43 days of fighting.
The figures are reported by the Hamas government. The media write that at least 3,700 people, killed in the Israeli bombings, are still under the rubble. (A2 Televizion)
