US President Joe Biden has just said he hopes Israel’s strikes on Iran overnight are “the end”.
He also said it appears Israel only hit military targets in its strikes, which came in response to an Iranian attack earlier this month.
As we reported in the past couple of hours, four Iranian soldiers have been reported killed – see our 3.11pm post.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi has said the country has no limits when it comes to defending its interests, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Entire population in northern Gaza ‘at risk of dying’, warns UN official
The entire population in northern Gaza is “at risk of dying”, a top UN official has warned.
Joyce Msuya said Israel’s offensive in the “besieged” area must stop, as hospitals have been struck and shelters burned.
“Families have been separated and men and boys are being taken away by the truckload,” she added in a statement.
She also accused Israeli forces of a “blatant disregard for humanity” as they continue to attack targets in the enclave, pursuing what they say are Hamas militants regrouping in the northern parts.
Israel has warned the population there to evacuate.
