The statement came amid Israeli reports saying the Israeli army is ready to launch a ground offensive in the Gaza Strip and is awaiting approval at the political level. Dujarric said the order by the Israeli military also applied to all UN staff and those sheltered in UN facilities, including schools, health centres and clinics.A prominent civilian member of Hamas has defended the group's strike on Israel in a video released by the group and decried the civilian killings in besieged Gaza from the seven days of Israeli air strikes that have followed.
Although Tehran has been a long-term backer of Hamas, Iranian officials have been adamant that the country had no involvement in Saturday's blitzkrieg against its arch enemy Israel. "The continuation of war crimes against Palestine and Gaza will receive a response from the rest of the axis. And naturally, the Zionist entity and its supporters will be responsible for the consequences of that," Amirabdollahian said.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military bombarded a residential building in the densely populated Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, killing at least 45 people and wounding dozens more, Gaza's Interior Ministry said as fighting reached its seventh day.
