IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari issued a statement this morning (Monday) to the media in Israel, in which he made it clear that despite the morning's reports of humanitarian aid entering the Gaza Strip and the evacuation of foreigners, the crossings remain closed, and no such decision has been made.
"We are on the tenth day of the war. We continued to strike targets in Gaza last night without a break. Hamas is preventing the residents of the city of Gaza from moving to the southern part of the Strip. Hundreds of thousands have moved south. We are making a continued effort in the Gaza envelope to clear the area, which is a combat zone. Citizens are required not to enter the area. In the past week, we have significantly reinforced the preparedness of various units throughout the country."
"If Hezbollah makes the mistake of testing us - the reaction will be deadly"
"The spokesperson referred to the situation in the north and said, 'Hezbollah has executed several shooting attacks to divert the effort from the south. This is done under Iranian guidance and support, endangering the state of Lebanon and its citizens. The IDF is deployed, prepared in the north. We have reinforced our forces, and we respond resolutely to every threat against us.'"
