YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Hundreds of people were killed in an Israeli air strike on a Gaza hospital, according to local officials. The US put more troops on alert for potential deployment in the Middle East, as President Joe Biden prepares to depart for Israel later Tuesday.

Iran-backed Hezbollah said five of its fighters were killed after the group launched attacks against several Israeli targets near the border with Lebanon. The Israeli military said it shelled Hezbollah positions and reported gunfire at army posts.

Authorities are working to allow civilians to exit Gaza through a crossing with Egypt. Israel’s military struck the southern part of the territory after ordering people to seek refuge there, as it readies a potential ground invasion in response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas, which is designated a terrorist organization by the US and European Union.
