The Israeli military said it had mostly secured its border with Gaza after a night of intensified airstrikes across the enclave that destroyed infrastructure and displaced thousands of people. Israel\u2019s defence minister said he had\u00a0\u201creleased all restraints\u201d\u00a0on his troops, adding that Gaza \u201cwill never return to what it was\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Israel\u2019s military confirmed the death toll<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>from Saturday\u2019s Hamas attack had passed 1,000<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 the deadliest militant assault in its history. Israeli soldiers were still collecting bodies of the dead four days after Hamas rampaged through southern Israeli towns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Gaza health authority has put the death toll in the enclave at 900<\/strong>\u00a0since Saturday.\u00a0Among the dead\u00a0are 260 children and 230 women, it said. Frightened residents of Gaza described bombardments striking residential buildings, hospitals and schools across the enclave amid growing concern over destruction of civilian infrastructure as Israel pledges to enforce a full siege.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Palestinian envoy to the United Nations on Tuesday described Israel\u2019s bombardment of the Gaza Strip and vow to impose a complete siege on the Hamas-controlled Palestinian enclave as \u201cnothing less than genocidal.\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong>\u201cSuch blatant dehumanisation and attempts to bomb a people into submission, to use starvation as a method of warfare, and to eradicate their national existence are nothing less than genocidal,\u201d Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour wrote in a letter to the UN security council on Tuesday, seen by Reuters.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Two Palestinians were fatally shot in East Jerusalem by Israel\u2019s border police,<\/strong>\u00a0in a sign\u00a0of increasing violence that is disproportionately targeting youth across the West Bank and East Jerusalem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A salvo of rockets from Hezbollah-controlled southern Lebanon was fired at northern Israel,<\/strong>in a sign\u00a0of the rapidly escalating crisis. Israeli forces responded with fire in the third consecutive day of violence along the Lebanese-Israeli border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Israeli military also shelled Syria from the Golan Heights<\/strong>\u00a0after mortar rounds were\u00a0fired into\u00a0the territory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The UN\u2019s human rights council warned there is already \u201cclear evidence\u201d that war crimes may have been committed<\/strong>\u00a0in the latest explosion of violence in Israel and Gaza. It said it had been collecting evidence of \u201cwar crimes\u00a0committed by all sides\u201d\u00a0since Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Israel is believed to have identified most of the hostages abducted by Hamas<\/strong>&nbsp;and has started notifying their families. Officers from the Israel Defence Forces were to tell about 100 families on Tuesday that their loved ones were in Gaza.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Joe Biden declared support for Israel<\/strong>, calling the assault by Hamas militants that left nearly 1,000 people dead an \u201cact of sheer evil\u201d.\u00a0At least 14 Americans were killed\u00a0in last weekend\u2019s attack and an as yet unknown number of Americans are being held hostage, Biden said from the White House. The\u00a0first plane\u00a0carrying US ammunition landed in Israel on Tuesday. Later he wrote on X, \u201cThe brutality of Hamas, the blood-thirstiness, brings to mind the worst rampages of ISIS. This is terrorism.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EU foreign ministers have reversed the decision by the European Commission to suspend payments to the Palestinian Authority,<\/strong>\u00a0after an\u00a0emergency meeting\u00a0in Oman.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The EU has issued a warning to Elon Musk<\/strong>\u00a0over the\u00a0alleged disinformation\u00a0about\u00a0<strong>the Hamas attack on Israel,<\/strong>\u00a0including fake news and \u201crepurposed old images\u201d, on X, which was formerly known as Twitter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":38647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_post_source_name":"","_post_source_url":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[9747,183,5304,7358,5178,5443,9204,7927,287,10767,8440,6083,7234,10418,8116,5846,4119,159,9505,6564,11700,8854,7298,11949,6738,6159,2629,10736,5930,12634,10754,5328,10825,12173,10840,8995,5252,7205,3095,6057,2471,9515,9666,9667,9833,10748,5572,6864,7259,12085,12993,5568,6821,6830,421,1511,5462,8810,5655,5752,11259,5618,3349,9151,9178,5350,5465,5689,7999,9262,6348,5251,5761,12790,5570,6571,2982,5320,10353,5784],"class_list":["post-38646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world-news","tag-ammunition","tag-assault","tag-attack","tag-bank","tag-biden","tag-bomb","tag-border","tag-brutality","tag-children","tag-conflict","tag-crisis","tag-dead","tag-death","tag-death-toll","tag-destruction","tag-displaced","tag-elon-musk","tag-eu","tag-european","tag-european-commission","tag-evil","tag-explosion","tag-fake","tag-fake-news","tag-families","tag-fire","tag-gaza","tag-gaza-strip","tag-hamas","tag-health","tag-hezbollah","tag-hospitals","tag-hostage","tag-hostages","tag-human-rights","tag-infrastructure","tag-invasion","tag-isis","tag-israel","tag-jerusalem","tag-joe-biden","tag-killed","tag-lebanese","tag-lebanon","tag-meeting","tag-militant","tag-military","tag-ministers","tag-musk","tag-nations","tag-oman","tag-palestinian","tag-palestinians","tag-plane","tag-police","tag-prime-minister-israeli-benjamin-netanyahu","tag-residential","tag-schools","tag-security","tag-security-council","tag-shot","tag-soldiers","tag-syria","tag-terrorism","tag-troops","tag-twitter","tag-un","tag-un-security-council","tag-united-nations","tag-united-states","tag-us","tag-war","tag-war-crimes","tag-weekend","tag-west-bank","tag-white","tag-white-house","tag-women","tag-x","tag-youth"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38646"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38646\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38648,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38646\/revisions\/38648"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nsemgh.com\/api-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
