"We declare next Friday, 'The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood,' as a day of general mobilization in our Arab and Islamic world and among the free people of the world. It is a day to rally support, offer aid, and participate actively," Hamas announced.
Amid escalating tensions in the Gaza Strip following a major Hamas attack, the Israeli army revealed on Thursday that it has unleashed roughly 4,000 tonnes of explosives, deploying around 6,000 bombs since the weekend assault.
U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Representative Michael McCaul (R-TX), has revealed that Egypt had informed Israeli officials about a potential Hamas assault three days before it occurred.
"Humanitarian aid to Gaza? No electrical switch will be lifted, no water hydrant will be opened and no fuel truck will enter until the Israeli hostages are returned home. Humanitarian for humanitarian. And nobody should preach us morals," says Israeli energy official.
Benny Gantz, previously serving as the defense minister and military chief of staff, disclosed a joint statement with Netanyahu detailing the formation of a specialized "war-management" Cabinet.
