The Israeli Air Force has announced on social media that it is \u201claunching an extensive attack against terror targets of the terrorist organisation Hamas in the Gaza Strip\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The UN human rights chief said on Tuesday said Israeli air operations had struck residential buildings, including large tower blocks, as well as schools and UN buildings across Gaza, resulting in civilian casualties. <\/strong>Gaza\u2019s health ministry has put Palestinian casualty figures as at least 770 killed and 4,000 wounded by Israeli airstrikes since Saturday. They additionally claim that at least another 18 people were killed and 100 injured in the West Bank since Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Israeli media reports that Hamas fighters killed about 900 people inside Israel during the weekend incursion.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Israel has retaken control of the Gaza border fence breached by Palestinian Hamas gunmen who carried out thr weekend mass-incursion, and is planting mines in the parts where the barrier was toppled, the chief military spokesperson said on Tuesday.<\/strong> Hagari said there had been no new infiltrations from Gaza since Monday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Times of Israel reports that officers are preparing to inform 100 families that their loved ones have been taken hostage by Hamas and are being held in Gaza. <\/strong>A senior member of the militant group has said it intends to use the dozens of hostages being held in Gaza to secure the release of Palestinians detained in Israel and overseas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Israeli air force<\/strong> confirmed it has flown back \u201chundreds of IDF soldiers who were abroad\u201d in order to contribute to \u201cthe IDF\u2019s efforts to mobilise additional forces to continue fighting\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>UK<\/strong> foreign secretary, <strong>James Cleverly<\/strong>, said he was sure that Israel was focused exclusively on destroying Hamas in Gaza, and not on attacking Palestinians in general or the wider Arab world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran was not involved in the Hamas attack on Israel, but hailed what he called Israel\u2019s \u201cirreparable\u201d military and intelligence defeat. <\/strong>\u201cWe kiss the hands of those who planned the attack on the Zionist regime,\u201d Khamenei said in his first televised speech since the attack. \u201cThe Zionist regime\u2019s own actions are to blame for this disaster,\u201d he added. French President <strong>Emmanuel Macron<\/strong> said the comments were unacceptable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Spanish acting foreign minister, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares, said on Tuesday his government opposed the proposed suspension of EU aid to Palestinians. <\/strong>\u201cThis cooperation must continue, we cannot confuse Hamas, which is in the list of EU\u2019s terrorist groups, with the Palestinian population, or the Palestinian Authority or the UN organisations on the ground,\u201d Albares said in an interview with Spanish radio. His views were echoed by <strong>France<\/strong>\u2019s foreign ministry, which issued a statement in Paris this morning saying: \u201cWe are not in favour of suspending aid that directly benefits the Palestinian people.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The French foreign ministry has announced that four French nationals have died in the attacks.<\/strong> Thirteen French nationals are still missing, and their situation was considered \u201cvery worrying\u201d, the ministry said. <strong>Spain<\/strong> has said two of its citizens are still missing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Austria<\/strong> is arranging an evacuation of its citizens from Israel by military transport aircraft on Wednesday, chancellor <strong>Karl Nehammer<\/strong> said. <strong>Cyprus<\/strong> has said it is ready to help with the evacuation of nationals from third countries who might want to leave Israel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eighteen Thais have been killed in the conflict,<\/strong> the kingdom\u2019s government said on Tuesday, up from the previous toll of 12. A foreign ministry spokesperson said nine Thai citizens had been wounded and 11 taken hostage. About 30,000 Thais work in Israel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Russia\u2019s deputy foreign minister, <strong>Sergei Ryabkov,<\/strong> has said Moscow and Washington have not been in contact over the escalation of the conflict.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Palestine<\/strong> football team has withdrawn from a tournament in <strong>Malaysia<\/strong>.
