after Emmanuel Macron’s call “to stop” Israeli bombings in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu affirms that “responsibility for any harm done to civilians lies with Hamas”

• In retaliation for the Hamas attack on October 7, Israel continued to shell the Gaza Strip on Fridaywhere 2.4 million Palestinians are crowded. The Israeli army also launched a ground operation on October 27 in the enclave.
• In an interview with the BBC, Emmanuel Macron “urged Israel to stop” the bombing of civilians in Gaza. “De facto, today, civilians are being bombed. These babies, these ladies, these elderly people are bombed and killed. There is therefore no reason and no legitimacy for this,” underlined the head of state.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded on X that “responsibility for any harm done to civilians lies with Hamas”, who uses civilians as “human shields”. “We must not forget that Israel entered the war because of the brutal murder of hundreds of Israelis,” underlined the Prime Minister, adding that “World leaders should condemn Hamas-IS, not Israel.”
• The Hamas government in Gaza said thirteen Palestinians were killed and dozens more injured following an Israeli strike Friday on the Al-Shifa hospital complex. The Israeli army has not yet communicated about such an operation.
• Hezbollah said Friday that seven of its fighters were killed by Israeli strikes – without specifying where or when. Since the start of the conflict, 90 people have been killed in clashes on the Lebanese side, including 68 fighters from the movement allied to Hamas, according to a count by Agence France-Presse. Six soldiers and two civilians were also killed, according to the Israeli army.
• The director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, called on Friday for an end to “carnage” in the Gaza Strip and at the end of the siege imposed by Israel on this territory. “Raving entire neighborhoods is not a response to the heinous crimes committed by Hamas. On the contrary, it creates a new generation of aggrieved Palestinians who are likely to perpetuate the cycle of violence.”he said according to a UNRWA press release.
• The extension of the war between Israel and Hamas into Gaza is “now inevitable”the Iranian foreign minister said on Friday, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, ally of the Palestinian Islamist movement. In addition to the Palestinians of Hamas and Islamic Jihad engaged in the war in Gaza, Tehran supports Hezbollah and the Houthi rebels of Yemen, who announced having launched several missiles towards Israeli territory.
• Since the start of the conflict, 11,078 people killed in bombings in the Gaza Strip, the Hamas-led Gaza health ministry announced Friday. The war also made at least 1,400 dead on the Israeli sidemostly civilians killed on the day of the Hamas attack, according to Israeli authorities.
• The countries that participated in the international conference for Gaza organized Thursday in Paris announced new aid commitments exceeding one billion euros, according to the French presidency. Represented in large numbers, humanitarian organizations have denounced the impossibility of providing aid as long as the bombings on Gaza continue.
