Earlier Friday, Israel’s military conducted “targeted raids” for a second night in northern Gaza, after vowing to continue ground raids over the coming days, and amid growing humanitarian concerns about the fate of civilians in the enclave.
However, the international community has continued to appeal to Israel to allow desperately needed aid into Gaza.
While the initial aid deliveries have provided food, water and medicine, they have not included fuel, which the United Nations has said is “paralyzing” its aid operations.
Israel said Hamas is stockpiling fuel for its own use and has called on the militant Palestinian group that governs Gaza to share it.
