Israel Hamas War News: Israel Warns Of Broad Attack On Gaza City; US Death Toll Rises
A week after Hamas surprised Israel with an attack, Israel's military said they would soon launch a big attack in northern Gaza. This came after Israel told about a million people to leave the area.
Gaza, ruled by Hamas, was in chaos because of this evacuation order. Half of Gaza's population had to leave their homes. People struggled to get out, some even used donkey carts to leave. Many humanitarian groups said they had nowhere to go. It was confusing if they could go to Egypt because it was unclear if Egypt would allow them to leave.
Israel's military said they were going to attack Gaza City more powerfully. Around 2 million people live in Gaza, which is a small area. The northern part includes Gaza City, which is very crowded. Israel blocked off Gaza and stopped food from getting in, saying they would continue until Hamas released hostages taken last weekend.
The U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said he supports Israel's defense but wants to protect civilians.
Hamas continued to fire rockets into Israel, and Israel launched attacks in Gaza. The Gaza Health Ministry reported about 1,800 people killed there, and Israel's military said more than 1,300 people, including 222 soldiers, were killed in Israel.
