According to DW News blog Ground invasion may happen in few hours Israel-Hamas war: Israel to step up strikes on Gaza in hours WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Israel's military plans increased strikes on Hamas in Gaza Humanitarian aid crosses into Gaza from Egypt as Rafah crossing opens briefly US State Secretary Blinken calls for "immediate and unconditional release" of all hostages Arab leaders, Germany's Baerbock attend Cairo summit amid Israel-Hamas war Protests in various cities including Düsseldorf and London Several casualties as Israel trades fire with Hezbollah on Lebanon border Casualties were reported along the Israel-Lebanon border Saturday as the Israeli army clashed with Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. The Shiite Muslim Hezbollah said one of its fighters was killed. In Israel, two Thai farm workers were wounded, according to emergency services. There are about 30,000 Thai laborers in Israel, with many working in the agricultural sector. A senior Hezbollah official warned that the movement was ready to step up its involvement as Israel masses troops on the Gaza border, preparing a ground offensive against the militant group Hamas after its shock cross-border attacks on October 7. "Let's be clear, as events unfold, if something comes up that calls for greater intervention by us, we will do so," Hezbollah second-in-command Naim Qassem said. Since October 7, exchanges of fire across the border have killed at least four people in Israel: three soldiers and one civilian. Israel raids West Bank home of Hamas deputy leader Israeli troops raided the West Bank home of a senior Hamas leader and detained members of his family, witnesses said. Troops entered Saleh al-Aruri's home in Arura village, about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Ramallah, at dawn on Saturday, Among the 20 people arrested were one of his brothers and nine of his nephews, Mayor Ali al-Khasib told the AFP news agency. In a statement, the Israeli army said the raid was jointly staged with the Shin Beth internal security service and resulted in the arrests of "dozens of Hamas members." Aruri is the deputy to Hamas' overall leader Ismail Haniyeh and one of the founders of the group's military wing. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-to-step-up-strikes-on-gaza-in-hours/live-67169803 |

Sorry folks no fuel for you Israel: Aid entering Gaza will not include fuel Israel's army said humanitarian aid entering Gaza would not include fuel. Aid shipments entering via the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt would also only go to the southern areas of Gaza. Previously, Israeli forces directed Palestinian civilians to relocate to that area. In a televised briefing, Israeli military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said that "the humanitarian situation in Gaza is under control." The Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza expressed concern that the exclusion of fuel from humanitarian aid could affect the sick and wounded. "We appeal to the international community and Egypt to work immediately to bring in fuel and emergency health needs before more victims are lost in hospitals," the statement said. Hamas is considered to be a terrorist group by the US, the EU, Germany and other countries. Meanwhile, the head of the UN's World Food Program said the flow of aid was insufficient. "The situation is catastrophic in Gaza," Cindy McCain told the Associated Press. "We need many, many, many more trucks and continual flow of aid." www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-to-step-up-strikes-on-gaza-in-hours/live-67169803 |

One of Tel Viv hospital has become bomb sheltar Tel Aviv hospital goes underground to shelter patients from rocket attacks In Tel Aviv, the city's largest public hospital is preparing to shelter patients underground, in what is normally its car park. Ichilov hospital was built in 2006 after the city was struck by rockets during Israel’s war with Lebanese militia Hezbollah, so that it could continue to treat patients during wartime. Our special correspondents Pauline Godart and Amar Al Hameedawi visited the site. Beneath Ichilov hospital, staff are busy at work. Beds, medical equipment, oxygen supplies ... everything must be ready for patients. At any moment, 700 of the hospital's 1,600 beds could be transferred to this secured area where all the departments are grouped together on three levels. "The underground hospital is normally used as a car park," said Dr Franck Atlan, Director of hand microsurgery at the Ichilov Hospital Orthopaedic Department. "We have numbers that actually correspond to the bed number. Because in wartime, this space ceases to be a car park and becomes a hospital," Atlan said. Since the start of the war, Tel Aviv has been the target of daily rocket attacks from Hamas. ''In the event of an alarm, we have a minute and a half to get to a protected area," said Atlan. "And a minute and a half is a luxury because on the immediate edge of Gaza, it's 30 seconds. It's 30 seconds to get to safety." But some patients have already been moved underground. "I'm working in dialysis, and when there's an alarm, we can't disconnect the patients and they can't run to a safe place. So now here they feel very safe as it's in a safe place, we don't need to run anywhere and they feel very safe here," said Yulia, a nurse. www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20231020-tel-aviv-hospital-goes-underground-to-shelter-patients-from-rocket-attacks |

Here the scary part Explosive device detonated near Israeli embassy in Cyprus A small, homemade bomb went off near the Israeli embassy in Cyprus on Saturday morning. Police said a metal object containing "a small amount of pyrotechnic material" was detonated roughly 30 meters (100 feet) from the entrance to the building, which was not damaged. Police arrested four suspects between the ages of 17 and 21. They face charges including attempted destruction of property with explosives, possession and use of explosives, and possession of a knife. Local media reported that the detainees were Syrians. The embassy, which is located in a densely-populated part of Nicosia, was also the target of a botched car bomb in 1988 that killed three people at a nearby intersection. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-to-step-up-strikes-on-gaza-in-hours/live-67169803 |

Now this true it hit few minutes ago Israel-Hamas war: Israel hits mosque in West Bank's Jenin Israel to ramp up Gaza airstrikes ahead of "next stages" of the war Gaza-based journalist tells DW that "there is no shelter" for Gazans Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni meets her Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu Germany's president to attend Israel solidarity gathering in Berlin Reports of second aid convoy passing into Gaza A second convoy of humanitarian aid trucks has begun the process of crossing into Gaza, according to multiple news agencies. A convoy of 17 aid trucks was allowed to enter Gaza from Egypt on Sunday, Egypt's state-run media reported. It was the second shipment into the territory since Israel imposed a complete siege two weeks ago. AFP news agency described how the first fuel trucks entered the Palestinian enclave Sunday since the violence unfolded two weeks ago. Six trucks with fuel to power generators at two hospitals crossed from Egypt, the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and an Egyptian source told AFP. Hospital personnel in Gaza have reported that doctors have been performing procedures by the light of cellphones in recent days due to severe fuel shortages. Residents of the Palestinian territory have been under an almost total Israeli blockade, including the halting of water and power supplies, since the Islamist Hamas militant group launched a terror attack in southern Israel on October 7. Cindy McCain, the head of the UN World Food Program (WFP) told ABC's "This Week" program that the humanitarian situation in Gaza was catastrophic. She called for aid agencies to be given secure, Israeli jets strike West Bank's Jenin Israeli aircraft struck the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank early on Sunday, killing two Palestinians and wounding several others, Palestinian medics said. The Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance service said the strike hit an area near al-Ansar Mosque in Jenin refugee camp, a Palestinian militant stronghold in the territory. Jenin was the focus of major Israeli military operations earlier this year. According to Israel, "terror operatives" from Hamas and Islamic Jihad who were planning attacks were killed in an air strike. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-israel-strikes-mosque-in-west-banks-jenin/live-67176340 |

Hamas and Israeli troops clash inside Gaza
From CNN’s Ibrahim Dahman, Eyad Kourdi and Amir Tal
Hamas fighters clashed with Israeli troops inside Gaza, the Palestinian group’s militant Al-Qassam Brigades said Sunday, in what appears to be one of the first skirmishes between the two sides on the ground inside the strip since war broke out on October 7.
Hamas said its fighters destroyed two Israeli military bulldozers and a tank in an ambush, forcing Israeli troops to retreat into Israel without their vehicles.
“The soldiers of the Zionist force that fell into the Khan Younis ambush left their vehicles and fled east of the fence on foot," the Al-Qassam Brigades said on social media.
The Israel Defense Forces said only that "shots were fired at IDF soldiers operating west of the Gaza Strip security fence, in the area of Kissufim."
"An IDF tank struck the terrorist cell who fired at the soldiers," the IDF added.
Kibbutz Kissufim, in Israel, is east of Khan Younis, in Gaza.
The IDF confirmed to CNN by phone that its troops had been operating inside Gaza during the incident.
It is not the first time the IDF has said it operated i

Say what 38 min ago US seeks delay of Israeli ground incursion to allow more time for hostage talks From CNN's Alex Marquardt The US government has pressed Israel to delay its imminent invasion of Gaza to allow for the release of more Hamas hostages and aid into Gaza, according to two sources briefed on the discussions. The Friday release of two Americans held by Hamas signaled the possibility of freeing more of the around 200 people believed to be kidnapped by the militant group after its deadly attacks two week ago. “The (administration) pressed Israeli leadership to delay because of progress on the hostage front,” and the need to get trucks of aid into Gaza, one person familiar with the discussions said. The National Security Council did not immediately respond for comment. When US President Joe Biden was asked Saturday if he was encouraging Israel to delay the invasion, he responded: "I'm talking to the Israelis." Qatar, acting as a middle man for the US and Israel, has been leading the discussions with Hamas about releasing the hostages since they were abducted by Hamas two weeks ago. According to a diplomat briefed on the talks, the negotiations have included talks about getting much-needed aid into Gaza and the need for a temporary ceasefire to get the prisoners o fresh-hope.com/thread/9035/liveblog-israeli-toll-hamas-onslaught?page=6&scrollTo=43824 |

Getting serious on our part US amps up military posture in Mideast, warns against 'escalation' "We are concerned at the possibility of Iranian proxies escalating their attacks against our own personnel, our own people," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on CBS News. "We expect there is a likelihood of escalation." "No one should take advantage of this moment to escalate to further attacks on Israel or, for that matter, attacks on us on our personnel." Blinken said the United States, which has sent two carrier groups to the eastern Mediterranean, was "taking every measure to make sure that we can defend them. And if necessary, respond decisively." Blinken's words echoed -- and served to reinforce -- an earlier message from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who warned of a "prospect of significant escalation of attacks on our troops" in the region. Their comments came amid growing fears that pro-Irani www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231022-pentagon-amps-up-posture-in-mideast-in-response-to-escalations |

Bibi warning Lebanon not even try it Netanyahu warns Hezbollah against new war front Jerusalem (AFP) – Hezbollah will make "the mistake of its life" if it starts a war with Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday, as tensions continue to surge on the Israel-Lebanon border. Netanyahu visited troops on the Lebanese border in northern Israel where mounting artillery exchanges have heightened fears of a new war front opening as Israel battles Hamas in Gaza. The Israeli defence ministry on Sunday ordered 14 additional communities to join dozens that have already been evacuated from the border area. In the event of scaled up hostilities, Netanyahu said Hezbollah "will make the mistake of its life. We will strike it with a force it cannot even imagine, and the significance for it and the state of Lebanon will be devastating." www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231022-netanyah-warns-hezbollah-against-new-war-front |

That suck part about war Israel-Hamas war: 5,000 killed in Gaza, Health Ministry says More than 5,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Health Ministry US President Joe Biden has discussed the Israel-Hamas war with leaders of major Western powers Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to keep aid moving to Gaza Israel strikes targets in Gaza and Lebanon EU foreign ministers are meeting to discuss the situation in Israel and Gaza Almost 20,000 people displaced within Lebanon — UN agency Almost 20,000 people have been internally displaced in Lebanon since early October, according to the UN's International Organization for Migration. The organization said that most of those fleeing were from southern Lebanon but departures were also reported in other parts of the country. Meanwhile, Israeli authorities have been evacuating dozens of communities in the north of Israel. Israel has been exchanging fire across the border with the Hezbollah Islamist militant group. Hezbollah is classified as a terrorist organization by the Israel, the United States and a number of other countries, while the European Union deems its military wing to be a terrorist group. Israeli activist says Hamas cannot be defeated 'through military force alone' Israel cannot defeat Hamas "through military force alone," said Benzi Sanders, Jerusalem program director at EXTEND, a human rights NGO working in the region. Speaking to DW on Monday, Sanders stressed that he is not a pacifist. He argued, nevertheless, that even though Israel needs to "fight and defend itself against Hamas and against terrorism," that was not enough. "I think that in order to defeat Hamas, we need to create hope for a future where Palestinians and Israelis live together side by side," he said. Sanders argued that the current Israeli government, as well as previous governments, "have been completely committed to the idea that there will be no coexistence between Israel and Palestinians in a Palestinian state or Palestinians with equal rights." "They want to prevent the Palestinian state, and we've turned our backs on Palestinians who are willing to make compromises, who are willing to work toward the future," he said. Sanders reminded that Israeli authorities had in recent years designated Palestinian NGOs as terrorist organizations. He claimed that for the past years, Israeli authorities have been "facilitating the transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars a year to Hamas."

Here the story mostly it wounds and stuff More than 5,000 killed in Gaza, Hamas-run Health Ministry says At least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched retaliatory air strikes in Gaza on October 7, the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said. Of those, 2,055 were children, and 1,119 were women. Another 15,273 people were wounded in the strikes, the ministry said. The numbers of dead and injured from Gaza cannot be independently verified Israel declared war on Hamas after the militant group broke through border defenses and killed more than 1,400 people in Israel on October 7. Israel says it only strikes Hamas militants in the densely populated Gaza Strip. Civilians caught in the crossfire, however, have borne the brunt of the war. Palestinians have been cut off from food and water. EU foreign ministers are meeting Monday to discuss the situation as much-needed aid slowly trickles into Gaza. www.dw.com/en/israel-hamas-war-5000-killed-in-gaza-health-ministry-says/live-67180974 |

"The Israeli Defense Forces need to decide for themselves how they're going to conduct operations. We're not in the business of dictating terms to them," Kirby told reporters in Monday’s White House press briefing. On Sunday, CNN reported the administration has pressed Israel to delay its imminent invasion of Gaza to allow for the release of more hostages held by Hamas and for aid to reach Gaza, according to two sources briefed on the discussions. Kirby would not say if the administration has heard of other countries urging Israel to delay an invasion into Gaza.

I think I know what Israel doing if CNN blog reporting Israel is preparing for a "multilateral operation" from the sea, ground and air, defense minister says Israel is preparing for a "multilateral operation" on Hamas from the "air, ground, and sea," Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said in a video statement released Monday. Gallant has completed a tour of the Ashdod Navy base, where he said he "conducted a situation assessment of naval operations" and "toured the shores on Israel’s southern border together with Navy Commander VADM David Saar Salama," according to the Ministry of Defense on Monday. He commended the work of soldiers and commanders in "thwarting many attacks that would have taken place" against Israel, Gallant said in a video statement filmed during the visit. “My message to the soldiers – well done, you did an excellent job! Keep preparing for our operation, it will come soon. We are preparing thoroughly for the next step – a multilateral operation in the air, ground, and sea," Gallant added. "Do your work, get ready. We will need you.” 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid enter Gaza on Monday as situation in hospitals remains "dire," UN says Twenty trucks carrying humanitarian aid passed the Rafah crossing into Gaza on Monday, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Ten trucks were carrying UN supplies of water, food, and medicine, OCHA wrote in a statement on Monday. The remaining ten trucks carried supplies from the Egyptian Red Crescent, the UN spokesperson said. "It’s a drop in the bucket," UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said of the number of aid trucks. On Saturday and Sunday, a total of 34 trucks were able to enter Gaza with life-saving supplies, the statement said. That's less than 4% of the daily average of commodities entering Gaza prior to October 7. Aid deliveries entering Gaza have not included fuel. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), by far the largest humanitarian provider in Gaza, will exhaust its fuel reserves within the next two days, the statement said. edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-10-23-23/index.html |

"Protecting civilians does not mean ordering more than 1 million to evacuate to the south, where there is no shelter, no food, no water, no medicine and no fuel, and then continue to bomb the south itself," Guterres said, referring to Israeli evacuation orders in northern Gaza. Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Eli Cohen shot back at Guterres' address: "Mr. Secretary-General, in what world do you live?"

Israeli civilians take up arms in the West Bank after Hamas’ surprise attack Valerie Gauriat reports from the West Bank, where she spoke to Jewish settlers buying guns and learning how to defend themselves after Hamas’ surprise assault on 7 October. Hamas' surprise assault on Israel has left many people fearing for their safety, and in the days since many Israeli citizens have been buying guns and preparing to defend themselves from attack. According to newly released data from the National Security Ministry, gun ownership in West Bank settlements is significantly higher than in Israel. “I myself bought the gun two weeks ago, following what happened in the South,” said Roni, a military veteran. “And like me, many other Hasidic people understood that maybe there will come a time when there will be nobody there to help them. No police and no army. And people are starting to understand that they will have to stand for themselves.” www.euronews.com/2023/10/24/israeli-civilians-take-up-arms-in-the-west-bank-after-hamas-surprise-attack |

Israel bombed the airport on October 22 and knocked it out of service, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. The British-based monitor said it had documented 42 strikes by Israel on Syria so far this year. The Israeli military did not comment on the reports.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called Hamas "liberators" and condemned the West for not stopping Israel's assault on Gaza.

French President Emmanuel Macron said the ship would leave Toulon "in the next 48 hours," speaking at a press conference from Cairo, alongside Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sissi. Macron also said his country would send a planeload of medical equipment to Egypt on Thursday, to be delivered to Gaza. He promised that "others will follow." "There's no double standard. International law applies to everyone," Macron said in Cairo. "All victims deserve our compassion, our commitment toward a fair and sustainable peace in the Middle East." Meanwhile, Sissi warned against Israel's expected ground invasion of Gaza, stressing it was important to seek to avoid such an invasion. www.dw.com/en/israel-netanyahu-says-gaza-ground-offensive-plans-ongoing/live-67207337 |

OH OH! Israel-Hamas war: Aid into Gaza amounts to 'crumbs' — UN Red Cross medics enter Gaza Strip, spokesperson says Medics from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have entered Gaza, a spokeswoman for the organization said. Six medical staff and four other ICRC specialists entered the Gaza Strip alongside six aid trucks through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt. ICRC regional director Fabrizio Carboni said the convoy was "a small dose of relief, but it's not enough." "Our surgical team and medical supplies will help relieve the extreme pressure on Gaza's doctors and nurses. But safe, sustained humanitarian access is urgently needed," he said. "This humanitarian catastrophe is deepening by the hour," the ICRC regional director said. The ICRC joins a number of UN agencies and the World Health Organization in sounding the alarm on the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7. Germany, the United States, Israel and several other countries consider the Islamist militant group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, as a terrorist organization. EU Commission announces 6 more Gaza aid flights The European Commission has announced that it is coordinating six more flights with humanitarian aid for Gaza. According to a press release, a flight carrying 51 tons of medicine, medical items and education supplies left the Danish capital, Copenhagen, for Egypt on Friday.
