Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh accused Israel of committing"genocide" in its war in the blockaded Gaza. "The current accusation made against the IDF regarding the use of white phosphorus in Gaza is unequivocally false," it said in a statement.The number of Palestinians killed from a massive Israeli air campaign against Gaza has risen to 1,799, the Health Ministry has said.
By Friday afternoon, the ministry reported"nine martyrs by occupation bullets in the West Bank" and some 130 wounded across multiple locations, some critically.The Israeli army declared the Metula town near the border with Lebanon as a"closed military zone" amid the rise of tensions along the Israel-Lebanon border.

Hezbollah deputy chief Naim Qassem spoke as Hamas and Israel traded heavy fire for a seventh day after Hamas fighters started an operation in Israel on Saturday. The secretary general of the pan-Arab body, in a letter sent to UN chief Antonio Guterres, also accused Israel of carrying out"an atrocious act of revenge... punishing helpless civilians in Gaza" rather than a"planned or studied military operation" on uprooting Hamas fighters over their deadly attacks on Israel.Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that an expected Israel ground offensive in Gaza would lead to"unacceptable" civilian casualties.
Israel has given Palestinians 24 hours to leave northern Gaza ahead of an expected ground offensive in Gaza. "Among these attempts is what is being said about asking some employees of international institutions to go to the south," it said. "The United Nations considers it impossible for such a movement to take place without devastating humanitarian consequences," UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
Naim said the 150 captives taken back into Gaza would be treated according to religious values and international laws. The Iranian minister said the displacement of Palestinians and cutting water and electricity to Gaza are considered war crimes. More than 423,000 people have now been forced to flee their homes in Gaza, the United Nations said, as heavy Israeli bombardments continue to hit the Palestinian enclave.
The jump in the death toll comes as Palestinians report heavy Israeli air strikes across besieged Gaza, with bombardment on residential buildings in densely populated city districts and refugee camps killing many family members at a time in their homes.
