Israel Hamas War LIVE

Hamas' real plan for 7 October was to go deep into Israel's territory, says report

The Washington Post, citing intelligence officials, said that new data indicated Hamas terrorists were ready to infiltrate far into Israeli territory, potentially reaching the border in the far east and the West Bank.

A few days after abstaining from a separate resolution that demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict in order to allow aid to enter the besieged Gaza Strip without restriction, India made a significant move by voting in favour of a resolution in the UN General Assembly denouncing Israel’s settlement activities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Fourteen countries voted against the resolution, including the US. This comes after top diplomat Antony Blinken acknowledged that “far too many Palestinians have been killed” and that “more needs to be done to protect civilians and provide them with humanitarian aid” in one of the strongest US condemnations of the death toll resulting from Israel’s shelling of Gaza.

Meanwhile, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu earlier hit back at the global criticism over reports of civilian death in Gaza and reiterated his vow to defeat Hamas and pledged to ‘stand firm against the world if necessary’.

The Israeli military said it offered 300 litres of fuel to the al-Shifa, the largest hospital in Gaza, amid reports of the deaths of three premature babies due after the hospital’s last generator that powered the incubators ran out of fuel. But Hamas prevented the hospital from receiving the fuel, the Israel Defence Force said.
