Israel has called on Palestinians to evacuate more parts of Rafah, as well as two northern Gazan neighborhoods.
More than 110,000 people in Rafah have already fled the area as fighting between Israeli troops and Palestinian militants intensifies in the southern region, which borders Egypt. Heavy clashes there have left crucial aid crossings inaccessible. Meanwhile, Israel’s military has also deployed forces north of Gaza City, where the army says Hamas fighters have reorganized. Residents of the city of Jabaliya were told to evacuate in preparation for renewed combat.

  1. You guys are broadcasting this as if it’s a ‘normal’ war. This is systematic genocide by a criminal organization. Israel isn’t even a real country. It’s a civil war in palastine between religious fanatics. And ‘normal’ people are paying the price.

  3. It's a tough situation. If there are a million terrorists in a nation, but a hundred innocent children, what are we to do?

  5. 7th october 2023. Same peoples chanting Allah O Akbar and Dancing on street. …
    But today Same peoples. No Allah O Akbar. No Dancing.
    What's happening.

  6. Germany must not hinder European Unity in pushing Israelis to the negotiating table, and act asn an Israeli bridgehead in the European Union!

  11. 21% of Israeli citizens are Arab, that's not Apartheid. Gaza's population has grown 7X in 16 years, half the population is under 18, that's not genocide. Gaza has a border with Egypt and 40 km of coastline on the Mediterranean, on Oct 6th almost 20,000 Gazans a day were coming into Israel, that's not a "blockade". When Hamas took over the Rafah crossing with Egypt they murdered their PA opposition, just like they did in Gaza City. Gaza is not an "open air prison" it's a military platform for Hamas to attack Israel.

  12. The Xi Jinping government has gone from forcing people to be silent to forcing people to praise it! Monopolizing the media! And then forcing 1.4 billion people to read junk news about him! Homogenized news hype! And every day! Just like spam text messages! Repeating the same information about Xi Jinping every day !

  15. Obfuscation: to deliberately speak or write evasively. Yesterday, our State Department report on Israel's use of our weapons said, "It's reasonable" to conclude Israel violated humanitarian international law with American weapons, but we won't say it out loud or in writing because of the legal consequences. Our State Depart knew they couldn't outright lie; it's obvious to any impartial mind, Israel has violated numerous American & humanitarian laws. But instead of outright lie and look like total fools, our State Department obfuscated. To be kind to them (even though they essentially gave a green light to Ethnic Cleansing and Plausible Genocide) In American football lingo, they punted!

  19. if Hamas terrorist group have not complied with the Iranian foreign aggressive dictations to revenge the death of Suleimani on Palestinian soil,
    the innocent civilian precious lives would not have been killed or died!
    the cultural sites, civilian homes, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, shopping centers, infrastructure would not have been destroyed!
    the so called de-huminization and the breach of human rights would not have been taken place!

  22. Will Hamas terrorist militants self-evacuate together with the civilian population? Or will they stay put and fight?

  24. It’s good to move out of harms way but for me I would not live in a place where the leaders attack their neighbors and put them at risk 😊

  38. 下一代将如何评价如今真正杀害儿童的恶魔？德国的文化传统就是对弱者进行种族灭绝？虚伪的粉饰和道歉掩盖不了满地的白骨和一个个家庭的支离破碎，历史会一笔笔记下屠杀的罪行。当我有了下一代，我会用我的语言和记载的图片向孩子讲述我看见的历史和故事，相信每一个真实的普通人都会做出自己的选择。

  40. pellastinian hamas started this war hitlar started a war you can not win a war against the GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏JESUS🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

  49. Before all this started Palestinians have been living under oppression for decades. Better die on my feet than live on my knees. The Israelis think they are better than the rest of the world. This genocide must stop. Western countries like this and understand it because they use to colonize and rule over people till the people fought back. Palestinian freedom fighters are doing the right thing by fighting for equality and freedom for their kids .
