Israel said there would be no break to its Gaza Strip seige until all hostages are freed.
A soldier mourns at the graveside of Amichai Vanino, a soldier who was killed following an attack by Hamas gunmen from Gaza, at his funeral at Mount Herzl Military Cemetery in Jerusalem, 11 October 2023.Israel said on Thursday there would be no humanitarian break to its siege of the Gaza Strip until all its hostages were freed, after the Red Cross pleaded for fuel to be allowed in to prevent overwhelmed hospitals from “turning into morgues”.
Israel has responded so far by putting the enclave, home to 2.3 million people, under total siege and launching by far the most powerful bombing campaign in the 75-year history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, destroying whole neighbourhoods. Israel’s Energy Minister Israel Katz said there would be no exception to the siege without freedom for Israeli hostages.
Across the barrier in Ashkelon, southern Israel, cars and buildings were damaged by fresh rocket strikes from Gaza. Workers swept up debris.
