Shortly before Israel’s planned military operation or ground offensive, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades announced that 13 hostages, including foreigners, had been killed in Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip.
In total, Hamas is said to have abducted more than 150 hostages to the Gaza Strip. Videos on social networks showed dozens of people being forcibly taken to the Gaza Strip.
More than 1,300 people have been killed in Israel since Hamas’ major attack.
1.1 million people have to leave areas
The Israeli army on Friday called on civilians to leave the northern Gaza Strip. According to the UN, approximately 1.1 million people have been affected.
A ground offensive is probably being planned
Observers believe that an Israeli ground offensive could be imminent after the major attack by the Islamist Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Since the airstrikes began, more than 1,537 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, including approximately 500 minors and 276 women.
“The result of years of oppression”
In an interview with Ö1 on Friday, Palestinian Ambassador Salah Abdel Shafi in Vienna reiterated his assessment that events in and around Gaza should be seen as the result of many years of oppression and Israeli occupation. “Israel has no right to defend itself until they end their occupation,” he told ORF radio. Shafi condemned the crimes against civilians “on both sides.” However, he refused to condemn Hamas.
