Israel established an interim unity government on Wednesday as its tanks surrounded the Palestinian enclave and its jets bombarded Gaza. The army also claimed to have killed three Hamas militants in a recent clash on nearby Israeli land. After assembling a war cabinet solely dedicated to the conflict, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and moderate opposition leader Benny Gantz spoke live on Israeli television. “Our partnership is not political, it is a shared fate,” said Gantz. “At this time we are all the soldiers of Israel.”

In a weekend assault by militants who crossed the border barrier surrounding Gaza in a shock invasion of nearby Israeli towns and villages, the death toll in Israel increased to 1,200 with over 2,700 wounded, according to its military.

According to the Gaza Health Ministry, 1,100 people have been killed and 5,339 injured in Israeli retaliation attacks on the blockaded Gaza Strip. According to Hamas officials, 535 residential structures have been damaged, displacing almost 250,000 people. Many of the displaced people were huddling in U.N.-designated shelters, while others were in the streets’ wreckage.

In an effort to prevent a wider Middle East conflict, US President Joe Biden dispatched Antony Blinken, his senior diplomat, to the region. Biden has vowed that Washington will continue to defend Israel.
