CNN:

Almost one week on from Hamas’ brutal terror attack, which killed more than 1,300 people, Israel’s retaliation has come from the skies. It has dropped about 6,000 bombs on Gaza between October 7 and 12, according to the Israeli Air Force (IAF). Palestinian officials said more than 1,500 people have been killed in the strikes.

Israel’s next move looks set to come from the ground. Overnight Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) warned some 1.1 million people living in northern Gaza to relocate south, as some 300,000 IDF reservists have amassed near the border.
