Hamas and other Palestinian factions in Gaza will hold a press conference soon about the escalation with Israel, Reuters reporter Dan Williams tweets.
Twelve Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since the start of Operation Protective Edge last night. Twelve people, among them two teenagers, were killed in a strike on a house in the southern city of Khan Yunis, four were killed in a strike on a car in the Daraj neighborhood in the center of Gaza City, and one was killed this morning in an airstrike west of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the central Gaza Strip.
Hamas said earlier that “all Israelis” would be targeted in retaliation for the Israeli strikes.
“The Khan Yunis massacre… of children is a horrendous war crime, and all Israelis have now become legitimate targets for the resistance,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said in a statement, without elaborating.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
