The United Nations issued a warning that “nowhere is safe” in Gaza amid stepped-up Israeli air raids in preparation for a widely expected ground offensive.
“People are left with nothing but impossible choices. Nowhere is safe in Gaza,” Lynne Hastings, UN humanitarian coordinator for the territory, says in a statement.
Israel has urged people in northern Gaza to move to the south, but has also said anywhere that terrorists or their infrastructure can be found is a legitimate target.
The IDF said overnight it had hit a rocket launch site in southern Gaza that was hidden between a mosque and a kindergarten.
