     And if you missed the last week in news:
     #Hamas fighters kidnapped at least 150 people and took them into #Gaza during attacks on #Israel a week ago which killed at least 1,300 people

     1,900 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched retaliatory air strikes, authorities say

     A total blockade is being enforced on Gaza, with fuel, food and water running out

     #Israel 's army says it's launched localised raids inside #Gaza, as the #IDF puts it,  "to eliminate the threat of terrorist cells and infrastructure".

     Blinken has arrived in #Saudi Arabia , his fifth stop on a tour of Arab countries as he tries to prevent the conflict between #Hamas and #Israel from spreading to the region.

     Blinken wants Arab states to clearly condemn Hamas and to also show restraint over Israel’s response.

     But as he arrived in Riyadh, the Saudi foreign ministry issued its strongest criticism of Israel yet, condemning what it called the targeting of defenceless civilians.

     It has just passed 5 AM in the Middle East, a quick recap of what is going on in #Gaza :

     #Palestinian civilians have been fleeing northern Gaza by car, on the back of trucks and on foot after an #Israeli warning - about 1.1 million people living in northern areas have been told to leave ahead of an expected ground offensive by Israeli forces.
     The UN described the order as horrendous, while the US urged #Israel to take every precaution to avoid killing civilians

     The #Israeli military says it has struck a "terrorist target" in southern #Lebanon belonging to #Hezbollah

     It says it acted after it intercepted two "unidentified targets" above #Haifa, close to the #Lebanese border, and after an unidentified UAV (drone) crossed into northern Israel.

     In recent days Israeli forces have exchanged rocket fire with Hezbollah.

     Like #Hamas, Hezbollah too has been designated a terrorist organisation by the UK, US and other countries.
