Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said the country would 'never forget' last Saturday's terrorist attacks by Hamas and warned 'this is just the beginning'. Today, the IDF said a drone had killed several militants who tried to infiltrate Israel from Lebanon. Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah was killed in Lebanon during Israeli shelling, with Israeli officials today saying they were 'very sorry'.
In a statement, the IDF said it would 'operate significantly' within Gaza City 'in the coming days', telling Palestinians: 'You will only be able to return to Gaza when another announcement permitting it is made.' Israel was accused of breaking international law over the sudden order to leave, with aid agencies and the UN warning such an unprecedented evacuation was impossible.

In the north of the country, Iran-backed Hezbollah sent missiles into the Israeli border town of Hanita, forcing Israel to respond by firing into Lebanon.
As civilians in Gaza gather what possessions they can, international onlookers have urged Israel to reconsider, judging the 24-hour notice 'impossible' to work around. Médecins Sans Frontières said yesterday evening that Israel had given Al Awda Hospital in Gaza 'just two hours to evacuate', causing panic in one of the most vulnerable spaces.'We unequivocally condemn this action, the continued indiscriminate bloodshed and attacks on health care in Gaza. We are trying to protect our staff and patients.'
The International Committee of the Red Cross said Gazans had 'nowhere safe to go' and it was 'impossible' for them to know which areas 'will next face attack'.
