Iran issues new warning to Israel and US
Iran has continued to warn Israel that if it escalates the conflict in Gaza it risks drawing in the involvement of Iran’s military.
“If they do not cease their atrocities in Gaza, Iran cannot simply remain an observer,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian told Al Jazeera.
“If the scope of the war expands, significant damages will also be inflicted upon America,” he added.
It comes one day after Amirabdollahian met with the leader of Hamas in Doha.
Twenty-one hospitals told to evacuate
Four hospitals in the north of the Gaza strip are no longer working, the World Health Organisation has said.
In a statement on social media, the WHO in occupied Palestinian territory adds that 21 hospitals in Gaza have been given an order to evacuate by the Israel military.
The global health body also notes that the “forced evacuation” of hospitals may amount to a violation of international humanitarian law”.
