The Israeli military said it has prepared a “co-ordinated” offensive in the Gaza Strip involving air, ground and naval forces. In a statement on its website on Saturday night, the army said it is “preparing to implement a wide range of offensive operative plans”.
The Israeli military said “hundreds of thousands” of Palestinians had already heeded the warning and headed south. It said Palestinians could travel within Gaza without being harmed along two main routes from 10am to 4pm local time BST.With special rabbinic approval, workers at a military base in central Israel continued with the task of identifying the bodies of the Israelis and foreign nationals who were killed, most of them civilians. Work is normally halted on Saturday, the Jewish sabbath.
Mohammad Abu Selim, general director of Shifa Hospital, confirmed that massive crowds had thronged the building and the courtyard outside. Shifa is the largest hospital in the entire Gaza Strip. The Israeli military’s evacuation would force the territory’s entire population to cram into the southern half of the Gaza Strip as Israel continues strikes across the territory, including in the south.
“The situation inside the hospital is miserable in every sense of the word,” he said. “The operating rooms don’t stop.”
