MANILA — The rescue of hostages and safety of civilians are a priority for Israel as it traded heavy fire with Hamas for a sixth day, an official said on Friday.
"We use leaflets that have been dropped in Gaza... We use small armaments to tell people when we can that they need to leave that area. We make phone calls to alert them that a strike will be carried out if we know that they are civilians in the area and we do many other measures," he said.
