GAZA/JERUSALEM, Oct 24 (Reuters) - More than 700 Palestinians were killed in overnight Israeli air strikes, Gaza’s health ministry said on Tuesday, the highest 24-hour death toll since Israel began a bombing campaign to crush Hamas militants who stunned the country with a deadly Oct. 7 attack.

Israel said it had killed dozens of Hamas fighters in the overnight strikes on the besieged enclave but said its war to destroy the Islamist group would take time.

As aid agencies warned that a humanitarian catastrophe was unfolding in Gaza, French President Emmanuel Macron flew to Israel to offer it support.

      If you stay inside the evacuated zone,

      Assuming these people have a “choice” when their options are (1) stay and risk dying, (2) evacuate and risk dying, (3) be forced to be displaced in an attempt to ethnically cleans you and risk dying on the way or a shitty life with no opportunities and no citizenhood.

      While all Isreal has to do is stop committing war crimes.
