Israel launched strikes on several Hezbollah-linked sites in Lebanon in response to an anti-tank missile that was fired towards northern Israel on Wednesday, the Israeli military (IDF) has said.
In a Telegram post early Thursday, the IDF said it had struck several Hezbollah “launch posts” including the one from which the anti-tank missile was fired as well as observation posts and other “terror infrastructure sites”.

Israel-Hamas war: Israel launches strikes on Hezbollah-linked sites in Lebanon – as it happened

Avivi said many displaced Palestinians could move to a “humanitarian zone” that Israel is trying to establish in southwest Gaza, or better yet, to neighboring Egypt. “This is the safest place for them,” he said.
However, each of these scenarios is problematic. Egypt has repeatedly made clear that it does not want a mass of Palestinian refugees in its territory, and the Biden administration has warned that Palestinians must not be pushed out of Gaza.
The proposed humanitarian area, called Muwasi, is relatively small and underdeveloped, with no infrastructure to support hundreds of thousands of people.
Placing people in tents would provide little shelter during the rainy winter months, when temperatures can dip into the single digits Celsius (mid-40s Fahrenheit).
A tent camp would also revive memories of the Palestinians’ greatest trauma. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were forced from their homes in the war surrounding Israel’s establishment in 1948 -– a mass uprooting they call the “nakba,” or catastrophe.

The Israeli military has set its sights on southern Gaza. Problems loom in next phase of war
After raiding the Gaza Strip’s largest hospital, Israel appears close to completing its takeover of the besieged territory’s northern sector.

Looks like the source is in a bit of double speak (though I would agree that math would benefit the children far more than this "lesson").
I dont see any simulated hostage taking. Rather, I see somebody dressed as an Israeli soldier (even includes the latest helmet design) being captured- and a somebody dressed as a civilian being freed from an Israeli jail or some sort.

Very thought-provoking photos. Collecting rainwater is very smart (lots of uses). I wonder if there were filters or distillers in the aid.
As someone who has camped during storms, my heart goes out to them regarding the runoff. They would've had better shelter in bombed out buildings, actually (imo).

I feel like I'm watching an instant replay with the alarming claims from the UN. Why has the UN repeatedly made false claims about running out of fuel?
“In three days, UNRWA will run out of fuel, critical for our humanitarian response across the Gaza Strip.
“Without fuel, there will be no water, no functioning hospitals and bakeries. Without fuel, aid will not reach those in desperate need. Without fuel, there will be no humanitarian assistance.
“No fuel will further strangle the children, women and people of Gaza.
“UNRWA is the largest humanitarian actor in the Gaza Strip. Without fuel, we will fail the people of Gaza whose needs are growing by the hour, under our watch. This cannot and should not happen.
“I call on all parties and those with influence over them to immediately allow fuel supplies into the Gaza Strip and to ensure that fuel is strictly used to prevent a collapse of the humanitarian response. "

US President Joe Biden has just spoken in the US, and said he had made it clear to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a two-state solution was the only answer to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict and that occupying Gaza would be a mistake.
After meeting his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, Biden told reporters he was doing everything in his power to free hostages held by the Hamas militant group in Gaza, but that did not mean sending in the US military.
He also reiterated that the US believed like Israel that Hamas had its headquarters under the al-Shifa hospital, where the Israeli military carried out a controversial raid on Wednesday, and said that Hamas had committed war crimes.

REFUGEES IN SOUTHERN GAZA FACE CONTINUAL AIRSTRIKES
KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip — A rainbow appeared in the sky over southern Gaza on Wednesday as residents, many of them refugees from the northern part of the strip, struggled for survival amid round-the-clock airstrikes. Residents in cars and on bicycles and makeshift carts pulled by donkeys weaved their way through the city’s roads, littered with rubble from the bombardment.Egyptian Mohammad al-Abdallah has been trying to leave Gaza since the bombing started. “They asked us to come from the north. And when we arrived, we stayed in an apartment here, and we were bombed. Do they want us to die? This is enough,” he said.
Live updates | Israeli tanks and soldiers search Gaza's Shifa Hospital compound
Weeks after sending tanks and ground troops into northern Gaza, Israeli forces entered a hospital where they claim Hamas militants operate.
apnews.com
- On 15 November, Israeli troops, including tanks, entered Shifa hospital compound in Gaza city and reportedly took control of several sections, searched them and interrogated people. Due to the disruption of communications in the area, the impact of the military operation remains unclear.
- Out of 24 hospitals with in-patient capacity in the north, only one, Al Ahli in Gaza city, is presently operational and admitting patients. Eighteen hospitals have shut down and evacuated since the start of hostilities, including three – An Nasr, Ar Rantisi and Al Quds – over the past three days.
- Another five hospitals, including Shifa, are providing extremely limited services to patients who have already been admitted.These hospitals are not accessible, do not have electricity and supplies and are not admitting new patients.

Joe Biden has presented an unapologetic defence of his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, arguing that Hamas presented a continuing threat to Israel and that Israeli forces were seeking to avoid civilian casualties.
“Hamas has already said publicly that they plan on attacking Israel again like they did before, cutting babies’ heads off, burning women and children alive. So the idea that they’re going to just stop and not do anything is not realistic,” Biden told reporters after a summit meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping. Reports that Hamas beheaded babies in the 7 October attack on Israeli civilians remain unconfirmed, though the brutality of the massacre in which some 1,200 were killed is not in doubt.
Biden also argued that Israeli forces had switched from aerial bombardment, which he seemed to acknowledge had been “indiscriminate” in parts, to more targeted ground operations, after more than 11,000 Gazans are reported to have died.
“It is not carpet bombing. This is a different thing,” the president said.
“They’re going through these tunnels, they’re going into the hospital,” he added. “They’re also bringing in incubators or bringing in other means to help people in the hospital, and they’ve given, I’m told, the doctors and nurses and personnel the opportunity to get out of harm’s way. So this is a different story than I believe it was occurring before, the indiscriminate bombing.”
“The IDF, Israeli Defence Forces, acknowledge they have an obligation to use as much caution as they can, in going after their targets. It’s not like they’re rushing to the hospital knocking on doors, you know, pulling people aside and shooting people indiscriminately.”
Biden also suggested that a possible hostage deal was imminent, saying the Israelis had agreed to a “pause” as part of the deal, but then stopped short, appearing to acknowledge the uneasiness of secretary of state Antony Blinken, finally adding: “I’m mildly hopeful.”

President Biden: "The first war crimes are being committed by Hamas by having their headquarters, their military, under a hospital. That’s a fact. That happened... [Israel] is not the carpet bombing. This is a different thing."

October 2023: Trudeau condemns a surprise terrorist attack by Hamas that left about 1,400 people, largely civilians, dead in Israel. “We stand with Israel and fully support its right to defend itself,” Trudeau says.
Nov. 14, 2023: Trudeau urges Israel to show “maximum restraint” to spare the lives of Palestinian civilians in its war on Hamas. “The human tragedy that is unfolding in Gaza is heart-wrenching, especially the suffering we see in and around the Al Shifa Hospital,” the prime minister says at a Vancouver event. “I have been clear that the price of justice cannot be the continued suffering of all Palestinian civilians. Even wars have rules.”
More than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes, according to the Hamas-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip. While these figures cannot be independently verified, U.S. intelligence services reportedly have growing confidence that the estimates are roughly accurate.
In response, Netanyahu slams Trudeau, saying Israel is not deliberately targeting civilians and that Hamas massacred civilians and is putting Gazans in danger. “It is Hamas not Israel that should be held accountable for committing a double war crime — targeting civilians while hiding behind civilians,” Netanyahu says in a post to X. “The forces of civilization must back Israel in defeating Hamas barbarism.”
