"Israel intensifies Gaza bombardment as ground offensive looms; humanitarian aid reaches Gaza"

Israel vows to intensify its bombardment of Gaza ahead of a possible ground offensive, while also targeting a mosque in the West Bank that allegedly housed a "terror cell" of Hamas and Islamic Jihad operatives. Palestinians in Gaza have been warned to move south or risk being seen as terrorist sympathizers, and Hamas reports that 1.4 million people have been internally displaced since the conflict began. Israel has also targeted airports in Damascus and Aleppo, according to Syrian state media. The UN agencies are calling for more humanitarian supplies to be delivered to Gaza, as the situation is described as catastrophic. Meanwhile, Hezbollah warns that it is already involved in the conflict and will make Israel pay a high price if a ground offensive is launched. The US is deploying additional military assets to the Middle East, and Doctors Without Borders warns that the current humanitarian aid delivered is insufficient.
