Israeli military spokesman Lt Col Richard Hecht said the political leadership has not yet ordered an invasion of Gaza.
Palestinians in Gaza lined up outside bakeries on Thursday after spending the night in pitch darkness surrounded by the ruins of destroyed neighbourhoods, as Israel launched new air strikes and said it was preparing for a possible ground invasion.
In Gaza, Palestinians fleeing air strikes could be seen running through the streets, carrying their belongings and looking for a safe place. Hundreds of thousands have crowded into UN-run schools while others are staying with relatives or even strangers who let them in. “Right now we are focused on taking out their senior leadership,” Lt Col Hecht said. “Not only the military leadership, but also the governmental leadership, all the way up to Sinwar. They were directly connected.”
“As Gaza loses power, hospitals lose power, putting newborns in incubators and elderly patients on oxygen at risk. Kidney dialysis stops, and X-rays can’t be taken,” said Fabrizio Carboni, the ICRC’s regional director. “Without electricity, hospitals risk turning into morgues.
The prime minister’s allegations could not be independently confirmed, and authorities did not immediately offer further details. Rescue workers and witnesses have described horrifying scenes, including the slaughter of elderly people and finding bloody rooms crowded with massacred civilians. The Egyptian government rejected an American proposal to allow Palestinians fleeing Israel’s bombardment to leave Gaza, a senior Egyptian official said Thursday.
