The Israeli Military on Friday asked Gazans to evacuate Gaza to save their own lives. There are more than 1 million people residing in Gaza and their lives will be at stake if they do not relocate. Israel is expected to launch a fierce attack on Gaza as it lined up tanks near the Gaza Strip. Defense Minister of Israel Yoav Gallant on Thursday said "now is a time for war". Israel has continued airstrikes at Gaza destroying several military bases of Hamas. Around 1300 Israelis have lost their lives till now in Gaza.

It further said "Hamas terrorists are hiding in Gaza City inside tunnels underneath houses and inside buildings populated with innocent Gazan civilians." The Gaza strip was struck overnight at 750 military targets in northern Gaza, including tunnels where Hamas militants were said to be hiding. A ground invasion by Israel will cause severe damage and destruction in Gaza. This invasion also risks the lives of those held hostages by Israel. Israel attacks have costed the lives of 1500 Palestinians since the war erupted. [caption id="attachment_14013" data-align="alignnone" data-width="2048"] Netanyahu and Blinken[/caption]
