The chill that Benjamin Netanyahu is feeling in the public Arena over the war with Hamas also appears to have found its way into his inner circle Netanyahu was holding an update this hour on the status of the conflict in Gaza and two members of his War cabinet including his
Defense minister have chosen not to take part in Gaza itself Israeli war planes continue their unrelenting raids the military says they are hitting militant targets but the number of civili casualties keep Rising the Hamas run Health Ministry says air strikes have killed 165 Palestinians and wounded 250 more in the past day or
So in another development a crucial Aid Route into Gaza has reopened the Kem Shalom Crossing which allows trucks in from Israel was closed for 4 days officials blaming what they call several security incidents journalist Iris mackler has more the aid situation remains dire really despite the fact that more Aid is meant
To be coming in we heard from the United Nations that only 81 trucks entered yesterday which is before before October the 7th 500 trucks a day roughly came in during the last ceasefire 200 trucks a day came in that’s the ceasefire a month ago when there was the hostage release
Now 81 trucks is less than 20% of what people need and um within the last hour the UN published yet another video of gazen civilians simply swarming around swamp swamping the aid trucks coming onto them uh taking the aid themselves not waiting for it to be given to them
And that’s because say the United Nations they’re simply hungry they’re simply desperate we also heard the United Nations saying this is woefully inadequate and also criticizing um an incident on Thursday night when um Thursday afternoon actually we saw the tweet on Thursday night when there was shooting by Israeli forces say the
United Nations at a un Aid Convoy the trucks had delivered the aid they were returning and they found themselves being shot at they say by Israeli troops we haven’t had a response from Israel but the United Nations have been officials are saying that you can’t have
This on top of all the other problems with delivering Aid at the moment no one was injured no one was killed nevertheless Aid trucks should not be shot at say the United Nations so the situation perhaps what we’re seeing today with that Aid the Israeli Port reopening will improve things but at the
Moment it remains dire IR of course we have seen a lot of escalation like you’ve been talking about in Gaza in the past day or so but there’s also an escalation today at Israel’s northern border tell us what’s happening there I can tell you that within the past two
Hours or so there were two sets of air strikes in Syria not in Lebanon where most of the actual crossborder fighting is going on uh one in central Syria near a big city Aleppo and the other actually miles away at the border with Iraq and what was targeted there were Aid convoys
Um sorry not Aid actually military convoys by militias linked to Iranian militias Shia militias linked to Iran so that’s one thing that’s going on in Syria but the escalation between Israel and Lebanon uh continues right now we are seeing more more strikes between the two sides and they hit deeper into each
Other’s Terr uh civilians and Military on both sides die Hezbollah reported 132 um of its milit of its militants uh dead today tens of thousands of civilians on both sides have been you displaced on that border so we see really an escalation there that is very worrying journalist Iris mackler for us
There in Jerusalem
A vital aid route into Gaza — the Kerem Shalom crossing — has reopened after a four-day closure. The route that allows trucks into the territory from Israel was closed due to what officials say were ‘several security incidents.’
