Health authorities in Gaza said at least 4,600 people were killed in Israel's two-week bombardment that began after a Hamas Oct 7 rampage on southern Israeli communities in which 1,400 people were killed and 212 were taken into Gaza as hostages. The Pentagon has already dispatched a significant amount of naval power to the Middle East, including two aircraft carriers, support ships and about 2,000 Marines, to help deter attacks by Iran-affiliated forces.
In neighbouring Syria, where Hamas' main regional backer Iran has a military presence, Israeli missiles hit Damascus and Aleppo international airports early on Sunday, putting both out of service and killing two workers, Syrian state media said. With violence around its heavily guarded borders increasing, Israel on Sunday added 14 communities close to Lebanon and Syria to its evacuation contingency plan in the north of the country.Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh called on the international community to create"a united front" to stop Israel's attacks in Gaza and allow desperately needed aid which has only begun to trickle in.
