Israeli military “local raid” in Gaza, Hamas fires rockets

The Israel Defense Forces issued a statement on the 13th saying that Israeli ground forces conducted a “local raid” on the Gaza Strip. The statement said that the Israeli army used “infantry and armored units” in this operation, collected intelligence related to the detained persons, and exchanged fire with Hamas armed personnel, but the Israeli army did not penetrate deep into the Gaza Strip.

That evening, the Israeli military announced another “large-scale air strike” on multiple Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.

UN: Supplies have been exhausted in Gaza

On the 13th local time, the spokesperson of the United Nations Secretary-General Dujarric said that the United Nations has exhausted its supplies in the Gaza Strip. Dujarric said that due to the complete power outage in Gaza since the 11th, basic health and water services have almost collapsed; local hospitals have only a few hours of power supply capacity every day and are also facing shortages of medicine and blood. UN Women estimates that around 5,500 pregnant women in the Gaza Strip are due to give birth in the coming months and are also facing resource shortages.

According to a report by Turkey’s Anadolu News Agency on the 13th, Turkey’s first plane carrying humanitarian supplies to aid the Gaza Strip has landed in Egypt. The supplies will then be transported to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah Port. On the same day, Turkish President Erdogan said when talking about the situation between Palestine and Israel that Turkey was transporting humanitarian supplies, while the United States and other countries were sending aircraft carriers and other military forces. Sending warships would not help ease local tensions.

Israeli military asks people in northern Gaza to evacuate south

Abbas rejects Israeli call for humanitarian corridor

The Israel Defense Forces informed the United Nations in the early morning of the 13th that it had notified approximately 1.1 million Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip and required them to evacuate to southern Gaza within 24 hours. The Palestinian side, the United Nations and neighboring countries in the region expressed strong opposition or condemnation.

According to a report by the Palestinian News Agency on the 13th, Palestinian President Abbas said when meeting with US Secretary of State Blinken in the Jordanian capital Amman that he completely rejected Israel’s request to allow the Palestinian people to evacuate from the Gaza Strip, saying that this could lead to devastating humanitarian consequences. . Abbas called for the urgent establishment of humanitarian corridors for residents of the Gaza Strip to provide water, electricity, fuel and medical supplies as soon as possible.

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) stated that the Israeli notification was false propaganda and urged the Palestinian people not to be deceived.

The United Nations strongly calls on Israel to revoke the order

The spokesman of the United Nations Secretary-General, Dujarric, also said that day that the Israeli military’s order for people in northern Gaza to evacuate southward could have devastating humanitarian consequences, and the United Nations strongly called for the revocation of such orders.

In addition, the United Nations Children’s Fund issued a warning on the same day that the escalation of the situation between Palestine and Israel will put children in Gaza at risk.

Neighboring countries condemn Israel’s unreasonable demands

Arab League Secretary-General Gaiter sent a letter to the United Nations on the 13th, requesting a halt to the new military operations that Israel is planning, and calling on members of the Security Council to resolutely and clearly condemn Israel’s request to evacuate people in northern Gaza.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement on the 13th saying that Israel’s request for people in northern Gaza to evacuate southward within 24 hours is unacceptable. Turkey hopes that Israel will immediately withdraw this request and immediately stop large-scale operations against civilians in the Gaza Strip.

The Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the same day warning that Israel’s request for people in northern Gaza to evacuate southward within 24 hours seriously violated the principles of international humanitarian law and would cause a humanitarian crisis in which more than one million Palestinians are in danger and homeless. . Egypt calls on the United Nations and the international community to intervene to avoid further escalation of the situation in the Gaza Strip, which will cause incalculable consequences.
