Israel warns Gaza residents to ‘get out now’ and says it will stop supplying electricity, fuel and goods, vowing unprecedented retaliation
Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said the country is embarking on a “long and difficult war” after a surprise attack by Palestinian militants from the blockaded Gaza Strip led toOn Sunday morning, as Israelis struggled to comprehend the scale of the attack the day before, the possibility of a ground invasion into Gaza and wider conflagration with Hezbollah in Lebanon loomed large.
Early on Sunday, the Israeli military said its forces were still fighting incursions by the militant Islamist group in eight places, and that two hostage situations had been “resolved”, but did not clarify whether all the hostages had been rescued alive. Writing on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, early on Sunday, he said the “first phase” of the counter-operation had ended, and that Israel had fought off the majority of Hamas militants inside its territory. He vowed to continue the offensive “without reservation and without respite.”
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said the assault that had begun in Gaza would spread to the West Bank and Jerusalem. The Hamas incursion fell on Simchat Torah, a normally joyous day when Jews complete the annual cycle of reading the Torah scroll.
