Time in Israel-Palestine:
Gaza medics send out ‘SOS to the world’
According to a spokesperson for Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, Israeli authorities have been targeting first responders aiding civilians, prompting the hospital to make an international plea for relief.
"We are in great pain... and nobody in the world seems to care. He urged reporters, "This is an SOS to the whole world... you must help us," when it was revealed that Gaza's lone power plant had run out of fuel.
Israeli response to Hamas in Gaza a ‘massacre’: Erdogan
Israel's siege and bombardment of Gaza in reprisal for Hamas's assault has been called a "massacre" by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the recent escalation violated "very severely" the "morality" of war.
To prevent people from meeting their most basic needs and bomb housing where civilians live, he said, "is not a war, it's a massacre." He was referring to Israel's cutting off of electricity and water to Gaza and destroying infrastructure.
Al-Qassam Brigades announces it is targeting Ben Gurion airport
Hamas military wing the al-Qassam Brigades has announced it is targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion airport with rockets in response to Israel’s targeting of civilians.
Gaza ‘on the verge of collapse’
Authorities said that power will be switched off at 2pm local time (11:00 GMT) due to a lack of fuel at the power plant. After the power went off for good an hour later.
Without regular power, hospitals will have to use backup generators, which, we're told, have a lifespan of just two to four days.
This also implies that high-rises will be without amenities like operating plumbing and elevators. Tonight there won't be any light whatsoever.
There will be no electricity or television to keep us updated on the news.

Attacks on Palestinian journalists in West Bank on the rise: Union
According to Palestinian Journalist Union vice director Omar Nazzal, attacks against journalists in the West Bank are on the increase.
He claimed that Israeli limitations make it impossible for journalists to roam freely within the West Bank or between the West Bank and Jerusalem.
Journalists have also been impeded in their work; "all of which are carried out by Israeli authorities to stop them from showing the world the crimes that are being perpetrated against Palestinians," he said.

Turkiye condemns the deployment of a US aircraft carrier
Israeli restrictions on Gaza, including the shutting off of power and water, have been criticized by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
