Hamas militants fired machine guns and anti-tank missiles towards Israeli forces in north and south Gaza as Israel's tanks and infantry attacked Gaza City. Concerns are raised about the plight of Palestinian civilians.
Watch on GAZA /JERUSALEM - Hamas said its militants fired machine guns and anti-tank missiles toward Israeli forces in north and south Gaza early on Tuesday as Israel's tanks and infantry attacked the enclave's main city, raising concerns about the plight of Palestinian civilians.
The al-Qassam brigades, the armed wing of Gaza's ruling Hamas movement, said militants clashed early on Tuesday with Israeli forces"invading the southern Gaza axis, with machine guns, and targeted four vehicles with al-Yassin 105 missiles," referring to locally produced anti-tank missiles. The relative caution with which Israeli troops have taken and secured slices of territory in the first days of sustained ground incursions in Gaza stands in contrast to the past three weeks of unrelenting air strikes on the Mediterranean enclave, as well as to Israel's previous land offensives there.
That has put four U.N. aid distribution centres and a storage facility out of action, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees said on Monday. Netanyahu said all wars have unintended civilian casualties and Israel's assault on Gaza was a battle between"civilisation and barbarism," calling on allies to back Israel.
Netanyahu condemned the video as"cruel psychological propaganda" and said Israel's ground campaign created possibilities for rescuing the hostages.
