The Israeli military will attack by land, air and sea, it says in a statement ahead of an expected ground offensive - but gives no timings or specifics
Israel has warned 1.1m Palestinians living in north Gaza to evacuate south, and thousands have been fleeing by vehicle or on foot
The UN's aid agency told the BBC that Gaza is "being pushed into an abyss"
The US has sent a second aircraft carrier to the region to "deter hostile actions against Israel". Meanwhile, Iran has warned of "far-reaching consequences" if Israel continues attacking
And tension is rising on Israel's northern border with Lebanon, too. An Israeli civilian has been killed near there by a missile fired from Lebanon
More than 1,300 people were killed in Israel last weekend when Hamas fighters crossed the border to attack civilians and soldiers
More than 2,300 people have been killed in Israel's bombing campaign of the Gaza Strip launched in the aftermath, Palestinian authorities say

Rules of Engagement?, do any terrorist organisation follow them?, I've never heard of any terror group that uses them so I'll assume that's a big fat No then.

Rules of Engagement are for idiotic governments, they tie the hands together of one side while the other one just does what the hell it wants.

New Rules of Engagement against terror organisations should be brought in and fast, a major terror war was recently lost because only one of the protagonists used these outdated rules. Kid glove tactics will never win against terror tactics and, someone should stand up and scream it out loud for everyone to hear. Hamas was voted in by their citizens, they are as guilty as the terrorists are, no amount of squealing for mercy should be given, "You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind".

Maybe Israel should parachute food and water into the area that they want everyone to flee to, but any vehicles speeding back away from that area nicking the provisions for the terrorists is fair game. :hmmm:

This could help with the slanted press, if they'd report on it. They don't ever mention the knock bombs and warnings ahead of time, or that Hamas is telling everyone to stay as human shields so...

Wow, it is all so easy behind your keyboards executing genocide HOW CREAT MUCH COURAGE!

It seems like we lose war, just because we are strict on using ROE.

Does this mean I'm into killing thousands of civilians-In no way, but if some should get killed by some smartbomb who fail it targets or civilian where inside the target-Then be it.

One should take aim at the terrorist-It's them who is winning the wars.

A invasion of Gaza will not win this for Israel, it will not destroy Hamas for every killed Palestine civilian Hamas will get more than 10 volunteers Hamas gets millions yearly from Iran and certain Arab states. Their leadership lives in Qatar, so they will not suffer and with renewed funds go on. We made rules for wars, those are made for centuries to throw them overboard is going the way Russia gone, and it will not get you a win wars are not won on the battlefield but around the table.

Lets see what will happen if Hamas wins this conflict, do you think for one minute that Hamas will let them leave Israel to go elsewhere, if you believe that, then you're just the same as the rest of the Wests "Useful Stupid Idiots".

No matey, there'll be another Holocaust again and it'll make the 1940's Holocaust look like a monkeys bleeding tea party.
It wont stop until all the Israelis are dead, and that begs the question, how much would you like to donate towards an oven then?, $1 dollar or a $1000?, or are you one of those supporters who like to stay in the shadows so no fingers can be pointed at you?.
I'm sure Iran will be donating millions of dollars to that cause and, there'll be thousands of millions of dollars flooding in from every corner of the globe as well, and we all know what religion they are.

I don't do "Stupid" but apparently there are lots of people who do.

I know what Hamas is and wants, seeing people here wishing some kind of genocide on the Gaza Palestinian civilians behind their keyboards I find stupid and naive to think this Hamas problem is solved it won't the hydra has not lost his heads and will with support from other states begin again with a largely bigger pool of fighters than before.

The problem is:
Iran and Syria-Remove these two from the equation and Hamas as Hezbollah would most likely cease to exist

Perhaps we can focus on discussing the issues instead of calling people stupid, which mostly means that they disagree with your opinion.

Yankees manipulated by Bibi.....:yep: he will never change!

Sounds good to me.

Gaza's metro with their traps! Ouch!, Good luck to the new Tunnels Rats!:oops:

A senior Israeli official told The Times of Israel that Israel has resumed water supply to the Gaza Strip. US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan earlier told CNN that his Israeli counterparts had informed him of the decision to resume water supply to Gaza. A US lawmaker told The Times of Israel on Saturday, 14 October, that a senior Israeli official had indicated to them that Jerusalem would allow food, water and medicine into Gaza after imposing a siege on the area.
