itemprop=description content=The United Nations said more than 123,000 Gazans have been displaced by the fighting.
Israel’s defence minister has ordered a “complete siege” on the Gaza Strip, saying authorities will cut electricity and block the entry of food and fuel.
The attack caught Israel’s military and intelligence apparatus completely off guard, bringing heavy battles to its streets for the first time in decades.Israel formally declared war on Sunday, portending greater fighting ahead, and a possible ground assault into Gaza – a move that in the past has brought intensified casualties.
Meanwhile, Israel hit more than 1,000 targets in Gaza, its military said, including air strikes that flattened much of the town of Beit Hanoun in the enclave’s north-east corner.There was no immediate word on casualties, and most of the community’s population of tens of thousands are likely to have fled beforehand.
“Our task is to make sure that Hamas will no longer have any military capabilities to threaten Israel,” said spokesman Jonathan Conricus in a video tweeted by Israel’s military. “And in addition to that, we will make sure that Hamas is no longer able to govern the Gaza Strip.” Israelis inspect a damaged residential building in Ashkelon which was hit by a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip
The Israeli military was evacuating at least five towns close to Gaza, while the United Nations said more than 123,000 Gazans have been displaced by the fighting.As of late on Sunday, Israeli air strikes had destroyed 159 housing units across the territory and severely damaged 1,210 others, the UN said.
Over the weekend, another air strike on a home in Rafah killed 19 members of the Abu Quta family, including women and children, survivors said.
