Hamas gives citizens of Israeli city two hours to flee
Hamas have given citizens of an Israeli city two hours to flee after issuing a terrifying warning.
Israel is in a “war to ensure our existence” after Hamas militants launched a devastating attack, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says, warning “difficult days are still ahead of us”.
Hamas, the Palestinian militant group which rules the Gaza Strip, launched an extensive multi-pronged attack against Israel on Saturday, catching the country’s intelligence agencies completely off-guard. Thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza while militants infiltrated Israeli communities, massacring hundreds and abducting some 150 hostages.
Israel launched a wave of air strikes in retaliation for the bloody incursion and has imposed a “complete siege” on the Gaza Strip, cutting off electricity, food, water and gas to its 2.3 million people. Israel is threatening a ground invasion as more than 300,000 reservists are called up.
Hamas has warned it will begin broadcasting the execution of hostages if Israel targets “innocent civilians”, with 200 targets in Gaza hit in one night alone.

Total siege of Gaza ‘prohibited’ under international law: UN
Israel’s total siege of the Gaza Strip, depriving civilians of goods essential for survival, is banned under international law, the United Nations human rights chief said on Tuesday.
Volker Turk called for all sides instead to defuse the “explosive powder-keg situation”, as Israel warned of a sustained war to destroy the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
“We know from bitter experience that vengeance is not the answer, and ultimately innocent civilians pay the price,” Turk said.
Hamas threatened to execute the hostages if Israeli air strikes continue “targeting” Gaza residents without warning.
The threat came after Israel on Monday imposed a total siege on the Gaza Strip, cutting off food, water and electricity supplies.
“The imposition of sieges that endanger the lives of civilians by depriving them of goods essential for their survival is prohibited under international humanitarian law,” Turk said in a statement.
The siege risks seriously compounding the already dire human rights and humanitarian situation in Gaza, the statement said.
Hamas gives Israeli citizens two hours to flee
Hamas has warned residents of the Israeli city of Ashkelon to leave before 5pm.
“In response to the enemy’s crime of displacing our people and forcing them to flee their homes in several areas of the Gaza Strip, we give the residents of the occupied city of Ashkelon a deadline to leave it before 5pm this evening,” an Al Qassam Brigades statement on social media said.
Brave act saves woman from Hamas
A terrified reveller who drove at a gunman as she escaped the music festival massacre said: “He was shooting like crazy with murder in his eyes.”
Noa Beer, 29, had three injured strangers and a DJ in her Jeep as she accelerated when another killer lifted his rifle to fire while the indiscriminate slaughter of innocents continued around them in the desert.
Music agent Noa told The Sun how they bundled in after she realised they were ringed by gunmen — and said: “I thought I was going to die. I felt so helpless. I am so angry.”
Tel Aviv-based Noa, raised in Hampstead, North London, ran to her Jeep with Hungarian DJ Wegha, who she had booked.
Music agent Noa told The Sun how they bundled in after she realised they were ringed by gunmen — and said: “I thought I was going to die. I felt so helpless. I am so angry.”
She spoke out as it emerged 260 people had been killed at the festival, which was devoted to peace.
Footage emerged of partygoers hiding in orchards as gunshots rang out.
Tel Aviv-based Noa, raised in Hampstead, North London, ran to her Jeep with Hungarian DJ Wegha, who she had booked.
They screeched out of the car park only to be confronted by eight terrorists spraying fleeing crowds with bullets.
Noa, whose family live in Manchester, said: “Two cars in front crashed when a motorcyclist ahead of them was shot.
“I stopped and opened the door to help him but bullets were flying.
“I glanced up and there was a gunman 20 metres away. He was firing like crazy straight at me, looking into my eyes. I yelled at the DJ to get out of the car and take cover. We hid behind the car doors as people from the cars in front who had not been killed crawled towards us.
“Then a bullet flew past me from the other way. I thought it was soldiers firing back, but to my horror it was four more terrorists, they were all around us, we had nowhere to go.
“They were shooting from all directions so hiding behind the car doors was pointless.
“I yelled, ‘Everyone get in the car’. It was a split-second decision. We leapt back in and three strangers with gunshot wounds also jumped in.
“I was so scared. There was a terrorist straight ahead, shooting like crazy with murder in his eyes.
“In about ten seconds I saw more death than ever in my life. I reversed at speed and span the car around.
“Bullets were slamming into our Jeep but amazingly none of them hit the windows.
“Cars in front of us were careering off the road because the gunmen were aiming at the drivers — and then the passengers when they got out and tried to run away.
“But I didn’t have any choice other than to drive through the gunmen. There was one looking me dead in the eyes and lifting the gun to shoot us.
“I started driving towards him. I put my foot down and drove fast. He shot at us from maybe only two metres away and barely missed the window.
“I continued driving while the back of the car was still being shot and didn’t look back. I drove as fast as I could and didn’t stop.”
Israel sends terrifying text to people of Gaza
Israel has texted civilians in Gaza warning them to flee south to Egypt as it prepares for an all-out ground assault to “crush” Hamas.
It follows another night of devastating air raids in the territory as the death toll of the bloody war rose to 3,000.
Israel’s army has massed tanks, artillery and thousands of elite commandos ready for a ground invasion, The Sun reports.
It also reportedly begun laying mines as it blockades the Gaza Strip, cutting off food, water and electricity.
Today military spokesman Richard Hecht said civilians should try to leave through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.
However the army later issued a clarification saying the crossing was closed, meaning no one can go in or out.
The warning comes as Israel prepares to unleash its revenge with the first of 300,000 troops arriving on the border ready for a full-scale ground invasion.
‘Don’t interrupt me’: ABC star in awkward clash with Palestinian activist
ABC’s Sarah Ferguson has an awkward on-air clash with Dr Mustafa Barghouti, a Palestinian activist, as he accused her of ‘bias’ in a fiery discussion about the Hamas-Israel war.
The 7.30 host was interviewing the academic on Tuesday night and brought up the hostages, including children, taken by Hamas.
“You cannot be biased to one side,” Dr Barghouti replied.
“You should have mentioned before this whole thing started, Israel killed 248 Palestinians, civilian Palestinians, in the West Bank including 40 children.
“They continue to kill Palestinians in the West Bank, where there is no attack from Hamas. “You never report that. You never report that because it is only as if Israeli lives matter.”
The ABC star then replied saying “no one is disputing live are all equally important”.
As the tense discussion continued, Ferguson brought up civilian casualties during the war.
“If we know Hamas have used civilian areas both to launch rocket attacks into Israel and use as positions for their military operations, if Hamas does that, does that not make them also responsible for what happens if there are attacks from Israel?” she asked.
Annoyed at being cut off from his point, the activist then unleashed at the presenter.
“Do you want me to answer you without interruption or you will keep interrupting me?” he asked.
“Please don’t interrupt me. You just say something wrong.”
Hamas’ chilling child hostage threat
Hundreds of innocent civilians, including children, are believed to have been taken hostage in Israel by Hamas - forcing the Jewish state into a desperate race to find and free them as the terror group threatened Monday to execute captives.
Israeli authorities have not yet provided specific details about the number and identities of the kidnapped victims, however, a preliminary assessment shared by one senior military official with insiders saying at least 150 people have been captured.
Among them are 5-year-old Raz and 3-year-old Aviv, their devastated father, Yoni Asher, revealed Monday, the New York Postreports.
Asher’s entire world came crashing down Saturday when he recognised his girls and their mother in a video circulating on social media showing abducted Israelis being forced on a flatbed truck, surrounded by men with guns.
He had last spoken to his wife, Doron Asher Katz, 34, earlier that day when she phoned him from her mom’s place in southern Israel, according to Bloomberg.
“She told me terrorists had infiltrated the home,” he told the outlet. “The phone got disconnected.”
Horror footage shows festival-goers in Israel shot at point blank range
The moment Hamas troops descended on an Israel festival has been caught on dashcam, with a militant wearing a black cap and vest taking a man by the scruff of his shirt.
Brandishing an automatic weapon, he first yells at the festivalgoer to get out of his hiding spot, before grabbing him and dragging him across a field.
When they move out of the shot, a man who had been hiding from the terror pops his head up - with the footage recorded some three hours into the shock attack.
An estimated 260 people were killed in the attach at the Tribe of Nova festival, popular with music lovers in their 20s and 30s.
Even more are thought to have been kidnapped, namely women.
Around 1,500 bodies of Hamas militants found in Israel
Bodies of Hamas militants have been found in Israel around the Gaza Strip, the army said
Tuesday, as it pummelled the Palestinian enclave with air strikes.“Approximately 1,500 bodies of Hamas (fighters) were found in Israel around the Gaza Strip,” military spokesman Richard Hecht said, adding that security forces had “more or less restored control over the border”
with Gaza.
Woman films Israeli air strike
A young Palestinian woman living in the Gaza Strip has documented the reality of living close to Israeli air strikes.
In a video on Instagram, posted on Tuesday morning, Plestia Alaqad said most of her neighbours had evacuated, except for her family and a few others.
“The neighbours who didn’t evacuate as well (as me), they have their windows down … the family are gathering together in a place far away from the windows …”
But Ms Alaqad’s video is suddenly interrupted as missiles from Israel fall close to her flat, the pressure wave causing her hair to jump.
“I was trying to explain things but I think you can hear them now,” said a visibly shaken Ms Alaqad.
She then said she had to check on her parents.
“We’re inside the house right now and literally we can’t breath,” Ms Alaqad said,
She then showed a view from her window with her neighbourhood covered in thick dust following the explosions.

Another video later showed the young woman evacuating her building with other residents in the middle of the night.
According to the United Nations, more than 187,500 people have been displaced by retaliatory Israeli air strikes, which have destroyed 790 housing units and severely damaged 5330, per the Associated Press.
UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, is hosting more than 137,000 people in schools across the Gaza Strip.
Horror slur at Sydney pro-Palestine rally
Footage has emerged of vile slogans chanted at a pro-Palestine rally that took place outside the Sydney Opera House on Monday night.
Around 1000 protesters gathered at Sydney Town Hall before marching through the streets of the city to the Opera House where the landmark was illuminated with the colours of the Israeli flag, a move intended to show solidarity with the nation.
Among chants of “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”), a more menacing call can be heard on a Twitter post uploaded by the Australian Jewish Association.
A number of people in the crowd chanted “Gas the Jews” at the protest.
In the Second World War, as many as six million Jews were gassed to death by the Nazi regime in Berlin.
The chant, “F*** the Jews,” can also be heard.

Police officers can be seen on the steps of the Opera House looking on at the marchers.
It’s understood the protesters had not filled out the paperwork to allow them to march through the city, but police allowed the protest as it was thought safer to allow it to go ahead than try and ban it.
However police are now scouring CCTV to identify protesters who burned Israeli flags and set off fireworks.
Mum’s chilling final text
An Israeli mother sent a final reassuring WhatsApp message to friends in Sydney shortly before she was slaughtered alongside her husband and three children by Hamas terrorists.
“Hi guys, we got into the shelter in our house, we’re all going okay,” Tamar Kedem-Siman Tov, 35, texted Yishai and Mor. Lacob at about 2.45pm on Saturday from their home in the Nir Oz kibbutz in southern Israel, which had come under missile attack.
An hour later, Tamar stopped responding to texts, The Sydney Morning Herald reports. Not long after, the Lacobs received word that the safe room had been breached by rampaging Hamas terrorists, who massacred the entire family — Tamar, her husband Yonatan, and their children Shachar, 6, Arbel, 6, and Omer, 4.
“Our hearts are shattered,” Yishai wrote on Facebook. “An entire family was killed by evil murderers who shot the children and parents simply because they were Jewish. And this is just one story, among so many. It’s unbearable!”
Tamar, a community activist and women’s rights activist, recently campaigned to become head of the Eshkol Regional Council – and only recently posted a family photo online captioned, “It should be a good year for all of us,” according to the outlet.
“She was such a special woman. She always cared about the poor people, always made sure that people less fortunate will have the same opportunities. She was a living example to these values,” Mor. told the newspaper.

Death toll rises to 1600
The total death toll now stands at nearly 1600.
At least 900 people are confirmed dead in Israel — including more than 260 who were attending a music festival and more than 100 at a kibbutz near the Gaza border — and 73 soldiers, according to Israeli officials and media.
In Gaza, the health ministry says 687 people are dead, including 140 children. Thousands have been injured on both sides.
World leaders back Israel
The leaders of the US, UK, France, Germany and Italy have issued a joint statement following a call to discuss the Israel situation.
“We make clear that the terrorist actions of Hamas have no justification, no legitimacy, and must be universally condemned,” the statement said.
“There is never any justification for terrorism. In recent days, the world has watched in horror as Hamas terrorists massacred families in their homes, slaughtered over 200 young people enjoying a music festival, and kidnapped elderly women, children, and entire families, who are now being held as hostages.
“Over the coming days, we will remain united and co-ordinated, together as allies, and as common friends of Israel, to ensure Israel is able to defend itself, and to ultimately set the conditions for a peaceful and integrated Middle East region.”
Obama condemns ‘slaughter’
Former US President Barack Obama has weighed in to support Israel as it “dismantles” Hamas.
“All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians,” Mr Obama wrote on X.
“We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.”
Murdered couple hid twin babies
A young Israeli couple was murdered by Hamas terrorists who broke into their home — but not before the parents hid their 10-month-old twins, who were found alive about 14 hours later, the NY Post reports.
Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky, both 30, were attacked in their home in Kfar Gaza, a kibbutz in southern Israel located about three miles east of Gaza, according to Israeli outlet Walla.
The parents, who hid their babies in a bomb shelter, tried to fight off the terrorists but were murdered, the news outlet reported. Israeli troops rescued the unharmed babies about 14 hours later and handed them to their grandmother.
Grandmother’s execution posted to FB
An Israeli granddaughter says her heart was “shattered to pieces” after her grandmother was brutally murdered by a Hamas terrorist — who then used the elderly woman’s phone to snap photos of her butchered body and post them to her Facebook account.
Mor Bayder witnessed the “nightmare of [her] life” after logging onto Facebook, where horrifying photos and video footage of her beloved grandmother being slaughtered inside her Nir Oz home were shared on her page, the NY Post reports.

Ms Bayder’s family only learned of her grandmother’s death from the social media post, she wrote in a moving tribute to her grandmother.
“A terrorist came home to her, killed her, took her phone, filmed the horror and published it on her Facebook wall. This is how we found out,” Ms Bayder said. “My grandmother my whole world the light of my life. The pillar of my life, in my family’s life.”
‘We have to go in’, Bibi tells Biden
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly told US President Joe Biden on Sunday that Israel has no choice but to unleash a ground invasion of Gaza.
“We have to go in. We can’t negotiate now,” he said, Israeli and US sources briefed on the call told Axios.
The PM reportedly raised the issue of Israeli hostages in Gaza during the call. He told Mr Biden Israel had no choice but to respond with force because a country can’t show weakness in the Middle East, according to Axios.
“We need to restore deterrence,” he said.

‘Some headway’ in hostage talks
Hamas is not open to negotiating a prisoner exchange with Israel during hostilities, a member of the militants’ political office in Doha said on Monday.
Potential talks on the fate of as many as 150 individuals held by Hamas gained greater urgency as the group threatened to start executing its hostages if Israel carried out air strikes in the Gaza Strip without prior warning to residents.
‘A war to ensure our existence’: PM
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has addressed the nation in a televised speech, his first public appearance since Saturday night.
“We are on the third day of the operation,” he said.
“We are in an operation for our home, a war to ensure our existence, a war that we will win. This war was imposed upon us by a despicable enemy — by beasts who celebrate the murder of women, children, and the elderly.
“The atrocities carried out by Hamas have not been seen since the atrocities of ISIS. Children bound and executed with the rest of their families, young girls and boys shot in the back, executed, and other atrocities that I will not describe here.
Israel is at war.

We didn’t want this war.
It was forced upon us in the most brutal and savage way.
But though Israel didn’t start this war, Israel will finish it.

Once, the Jewish people were defenseless.
No longer.
Hamas will… pic.twitter.com/eVECGnzLu3
“We have always known what Hamas is. Now the whole world knows. Hamas is ISIS. And we will defeat [Hamas] precisely as the enlightened world defeated ISIS.”
Mr Netanyahu, who sits at the head of a hard-right coalition government, called on Israel’s opposition to form an emergency national unity government “without any preconditions”, The Times of Israel reports.
The PM said the government planned to regain control of the territory and “eliminate terrorists” still present in Israel.
Israel planned to carry out a “massive” assault against Hamas with “unprecedented force” and “strengthen other fronts in the north against Hezbollah” in Lebanon, as well as in the occupied West Bank, he said.
Mum and two little girls among hostages
An Israeli mother and her two young daughters were among the more than 100 civilians taken hostage by Hamas, the NY Post reports.
Doron Asher had gone with her young girls to visit their grandmother in the village Nir Oz near the Gaza border over the weekend when Hamas militants descended on the home.
Terrified, she called her husband, Yoni, back in central Israel, but the phone cut out, and he hasn’t heard from her since. “She told me the terrorists are in the house,” and that was it, Yoni said.
Tracking Doron’s phone, her location showed her as being across the border in Gaza, Yoni said. His fears were later confirmed when he saw video on social media that clearly showed Doron and their daughters loaded at gunpoint into a cart along with other hostages and being taken away by Hamas militants.
“I surely identified my wife, my two daughters and my mother-in-law on some kind of a cart and terrorists of Hamas all around them,” Yoni said. “My little two girls, they are only babies, they are not even five years old and three years old … I don’t know in what terms they are captive. I don’t know what happened to them.”
