THE ISRAEL ARMY IS NOW "IN ALL AREAS OF GAZA" AS NEW EVACUATIONS ARE ORDERED

The Israeli military says it's expanding its ground operation into "all areas" of the Gaza Strip following the resumption of fighting on Friday. It has this morning posted on social media a fresh order for people to evacuate about 20 areas of the Palestinian enclave.

Its forces have been pushing further south - amid warnings from humanitarian groups that Gazans are running out of places to flee
Senior US officials earlier reiterated their view that Israel had a right to defend itself - but added that its soldiers must protect civilians.
Meanwhile, an adviser to Israel's PM told the BBC his country was making "maximum effort" to avoid civilian casualties
The Hamas attack on Israel on 7 October killed 1,200 people, with around 240 others taken hostage
Since then, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says more than 15,500 people have been killed in Israel's retaliatory campaign, including about 6,000 children.
IDF says section of key road in southern Gaza is not safe
The Israeli military has said civilians in Gaza should not use a section of the key north-south Salah al-Din Road.
The section, to the north-east of the city of Khan Younis, is highlighted on a map posted on social media by IDF Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adree.
He says the area is now a battlefield and is extremely dangerous.
He says the IDF will allow civilians to move southwards from areas to the north of Khan Younis by using the coastal road.
As we reported earlier, the IDF has urged people in a large swathe of the Khan Younis area to head south today.
As a reminder, in the earlier part of the war, Israel told Gazans to evacuate from northern Gaza to Khan Younis for their own safety.
Hamas in Lebanon calls for young Palestinians to enlist
Hamas in Lebanon has issued a statement calling for young Palestinians to enlist and join the establishment of the “vanguards of Al-Aqsa Flood”, a reference to the 7 October attacks.
The statement calls for the continuation of what they claimed was "achieved" in the attacks, and a victory for the Palestinian people.
Hamas has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK, US and European Union. It killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, when it attacked southern Israel on 7 October and took 240 people hostage - some of whom have since been released.

The president of the ongoing UN climate talks Sultan al-Jaber has hit back at claims that he denies a core part of climate science.

It follows his earlier comments that there was "no science" behind requiring the end of fossil fuels in order to limit temperature rise to 1.5C.

"We very much believe and respect the science," he said on Monday.

The talks in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, aim to make progress on tackling climate change.

All countries at the UN climate talks in 2015 agreed to slash releases of warming gases in order to keep the average global temperature rise below 1.5C compared to pre-industrial levels.

But in an online event on 21 November with Mary Robinson, the chair of the Elders group and a former UN special envoy for climate change, Mr Jaber appeared to deny that.

"There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what's going to achieve 1.5C," he said.

On Monday, the fifth day of the UN talks, Mr Jaber said "let me clarify where I stand on the science".

"I honestly think there is some confusion out there, and misrepresentation. I am quite surprised with the constant and repeated attempts to undermine the work of the COP28 presidency," he said.

"I'm an engineer by background. Science has been central to my own career progress and yes I respect the science in everything I do," he added.

Mr Jaber, 50, trained as an engineer and economist.

NEW HAMAS ATROCITIES REVEALED ABOUT THIS EVIL TERRORIST ORGANISATION - Hamas gang raped and beheaded women at rave massacre, fresh testimony reveals

Hamas gang raped and beheaded women at rave massacre, fresh testimony reveals

Almost two months after the attack, the international community is beginning to act on reports of Palestinian sexual violence.

Survivors of the Supernova massacre witnessed women being gang raped and beheaded, new testimony has revealed.

Yoni Saadon, who escaped execution by hiding underneath a stage, said: “I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel and eight or ten of the fighters beating and raping her.

“She was screaming, ‘Stop it—already I’m going to die anyway from what you are doing, just kill me!’ When they finished they were laughing and the last one shot her in the head.

“I kept thinking it could have been one of my daughters. Or my sister—I had bought her a ticket but last minute she couldn’t come.”

Speaking to The Sunday Times at Sitria, a support area set up for festival survivors southeast of Tel Aviv, Saadon said he also witnessed the brutal murder of women who resisted Hamas attackers.

“They had caught a young woman near a car and she was fighting back, not allowing them to strip her,” he said.

“They threw her to the ground and one of the terrorists took a shovel and beheaded her and her head rolled along the ground. I see that head too.”

Discussing another woman who was killed in front of him, Saadon added: “She fell to the ground, shot in the head, and I pulled her body over me and smeared her blood on me so it would look as if I was dead too.

“I will never forget her face. Every night I wake to it and apologise to her, saying ‘I’m sorry’.”

Haim Outmezgine, commander of a special unit of Zaka, which collects the remains of the dead, told The Sunday Times it was clear Hamas terrorists aimed to sexually assault women.

“We collected 1,000 bodies in ten days from the festival site and kibbutzim,” he said.

“No one saw more than us. It was clear they were trying to spread as much horror as they could — to kill, to burn alive, to rape … it seemed their mission was to rape as many as possible.”

In one field, he said, he found the bodies of two girls with their legs apart who had both been shot in the head. One had her shorts ripped and had been shot in the vagina, the other had her jeans pulled down and bruises on her legs.

Architect Shari, who has volunteered at the Shura military base to help identify and prepare corpses for burial, said she was horrified at the scale of the violence inflicted upon women by Hamas.

“Opening the body bags was scary as we didn’t know what we would see,” she told The Sunday Times.

“They were all young women. Most in little clothing or shredded clothing and their bodies bloodied particularly round their underwear and some women shot many times in the face as if to mutilate them.

“Their faces were in anguish and often their fingers clenched as they died. We saw women whose pelvises were broken. Legs broken. There were women who had been shot in the crotch, in the breasts … there seems no doubt what happened to them.”

US warship shoots down drones fired from Houthi-held Yemen in Red Sea

THE USA SHOOTS DOWN HOUTI DONES IN THE RED SEA NEAR YEMEN.

The USS Carney destroyer shot down three drones fired from Houthi-held Yemen on Sunday

A US warship shot down three drones after three commercial vessels came under attack in the Red Sea, the US military has said.

It said the USS Carney assisted the ships - which had links to 14 nations including the UK - on Sunday after they were targeted from areas of Yemen held by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

Two of the ships were hit by missiles but there were no casualties, it added.

A Houthi spokesman said the group's navy had attacked two Israeli ships.

The Israeli military said the vessels had no connection to Israel.

The Iranian-backed Houthis have controlled parts of Yemen since the movement toppled the country's government in 2014, sparking an ongoing civil war.

It has recently begun targeting Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea over Israel's war with Iranian-backed Hamas in Gaza.

US Central Command (Centcom), part of the US military which oversees operations in the Middle East, said that on Sunday morning, the USS Carney detected an anti-ship ballistic missile exploding near the Unity Explorer, a Bahamian-flagged, UK-owned and operated cargo ship.

It later shot down a drone that was heading towards the Carney itself, although Centcom said it was not clear whether the drone was targeting the Carney.

That afternoon, the Unity Explorer suffered minor damage after being struck by a missile fired from Houthi-controlled area.

While responding to a distress call from the ship, the US vessel detected and shot down another incoming drone.

Later, two more ships - one of them part UK-owned, both of them flagged in Panama - reported being struck by missiles. While on its way to assist the second ship, the USS Carney shot down a third drone.

Centcom said the attacks had "jeopardised the lives" of the ships' multinational crews and represented a "direct threat to international commerce and maritime security".

"We also have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran," it said.

"The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners."

Earlier this week, the US said its warship captured armed men who had earlier seized an Israeli-linked tanker off Yemen's coast.

Centcom reported that two missiles were then fired towards the warship from rebel Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen.

The Houthis have declared themselves part of an "axis of resistance" of Iran-affiliated groups, which works in opposition to Israel, the US, and the wider West.
