IDF confirms airstrike on Gaza ambulance, saying it was being used by Hamas
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it carried out an airstrike on an ambulance in the northern Gaza Strip “that was identified by forces as being used by a Hamas terrorist cell”.
An IDF spokesperson said “a number” of Hamas fighters were killed in the strike, and that “more detailed information” was shared with allies. They said:
We have information which demonstrates that Hamas’s method of operation is to transfer terror operatives and weapons in ambulances.
The IDF added:
We emphasise that this area is a battle zone. Civilians in the area are repeatedly called upon to evacuate southwards for their own safety.

We pray for them all, and pray that the international community at last focuses on achieving a lasting peace in the region: one that recognises that the rights and lives of Palestinians and Israelis are equal.</em></p>\n</blockquote>","elementId":"0b59c60b-6ed8-44c7-98b4-d893f8345de1"}],"attributes":{"pinned":false,"keyEvent":true,"summary":false},"blockCreatedOn":1699012738000,"blockCreatedOnDisplay":"07.58 EDT","blockLastUpdated":1699015361000,"blockLastUpdatedDisplay":"08.42 EDT","blockFirstPublished":1699013225000,"blockFirstPublishedDisplay":"08.07 EDT","blockFirstPublishedDisplayNoTimezone":"08.07","title":"Scottish leader’s family members have left Gaza","contributors":[],"primaryDateLine":"Fri 3 Nov 2023 15.17 EDT","secondaryDateLine":"First published on Fri 3 Nov 2023 01.05 EDT"},{"id":"6544d3588f08af73b5ca79a0","elements":[{"_type":"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.TextBlockElement","html":"<p>Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has called for an immediate ceasefire between <a href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/world/israel\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Israel</a> and Hamas, saying “crimes against humanity” are being committed in Gaza.</p>","elementId":"88dbc00a-a57f-4fb8-ab17-f6d7b7c9b34a"},{"_type":"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement","media":{"allImages":[{"index":0,"fields":{"height":"2101","width":"3500"},"mediaType":"Image","mimeType":"image/jpeg","url":"https://media.guim.co.uk/f8cb1e1a412c325e1a19a842cb9ca29cb4aa79e4/0_117_3500_2101/3500.jpg"},{"index":1,"fields":{"isMaster":"true","height":"2101","width":"3500"},"mediaType":"Image","mimeType":"image/jpeg","url":"https://media.guim.co.uk/f8cb1e1a412c325e1a19a842cb9ca29cb4aa79e4/0_117_3500_2101/master/3500.jpg"},{"index":2,"fields":{"height":"1200","width":"2000"},"mediaType":"Image","mimeType":"image/jpeg","url":"https://media.guim.co.uk/f8cb1e1a412c325e1a19a842cb9ca29cb4aa79e4/0_117_3500_2101/2000.jpg"},{"index":3,"fields":{"height":"600","width":"1000"},"mediaType":"Image","mimeType":"image/jpeg","url":"https://media.guim.co.uk/f8cb1e1a412c325e1a19a842cb9ca29cb4aa79e4/0_117_3500_2101/1000.jpg"},{"index":4,"fields":{"height":"300","width":"500"},"mediaType":"Image","mimeType":"image/jpeg","url":"https://media.guim.co.uk/f8cb1e1a412c325e1a19a842cb9ca29cb4aa79e4/0_117_3500_2101/500.jpg"},{"index":5,"fields":{"height":"84","width":"140"},"mediaType":"Image","mimeType":"image/jpeg","url":"https://media.guim.co.uk/f8cb1e1a412c325e1a19a842cb9ca29cb4aa79e4/0_117_3500_2101/140.jpg"}]},"data":{"alt":"Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attends the 10th Summit of the Council of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States, in Astana on 3 November.

The World Health Organization, UN Relief and Works Agency for the Palestine Refugees in the Near East, the UN Populations Fund and Unicef have put out a joint statement on the plight women and newborns in Gaza are facing amid Israel’s deadly siege.
The organizations said:
As of 3 November, according to Ministry of Health data, 2,326 women and 3,760 children have been killed in the Gaza strip, representing 67% of all casualties, while thousands more have been injured. This means that 420 children are killed or injured every day, some of them only a few months old …
There are an estimated 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza, with more than 180 giving birth every day. Fifteen percent of them are likely to experience pregnancy or birth-related complications and need additional medical care …
With 14 hospitals and 45 primary health care centres closed, some women are having to give birth in shelters, in their homes, in the streets amid rubble, or in overwhelmed healthcare facilities, where sanitation is worsening, and the risk of infection and medical complications is on the rise …
The lives of newborns also hang by a thread. If hospitals run out of fuel, the lives of an estimated 130 premature babies who rely on neonatal and intensive care services will be threatened, as incubators and other medical equipment will no longer function.

Two women pictured at a pro-Palestinian march in London carrying photos of paragliders have been charged with terrorism offences.
The incident happened on 14 October in Whitehall during a march after the 7 October attack on Israel, when Hamas militants used paragliders to cross the border between Gaza and Israel.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Heba Alhayey, 29, and Pauline Ankunda, 26, had been charged “with single counts of carrying or displaying an article, namely an image displaying a paraglider, to arouse reasonable suspicion that they are supporters of a proscribed organisation, namely Hamas, on Saturday 14 October 2023”.
Both women are from south London. Counter-terrorism detectives renewed an appeal to track down a third woman police said was with them, who is also alleged to have held up a photo of a paraglider.

Following the release of their photos last week, the two women handed themselves in at a London police station. The maximum sentence for the offence if proven is six months’ imprisonment. Both women have been bailed to appear on 10 November at Westminster magistrates court.
Here’s more on the strike on an ambulance in the northern Gaza Strip, which the Israeli military has claimed responsibility for.
A statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reads:
A Hamas terrorist cell was identified using an ambulance. In response, an IDF aircraft struck and neutralized the Hamas terrorists, who were operating within the ambulance.
We emphasize that this area in Gaza is a war zone. Civilians are repeatedly called upon to evacuate southward for their own safety.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) earlier accused Israeli forces of launching an airstrike on a group of ambulance vehicles, one of which belonged to the PRCS.
A PRCS spokesperson, Mohamed Abu Musbah, told Al Jazeera that the entrance of al-Shifa hospital is “extremely crowded”. The front yard near the entrance of the hospital is “filled with civilians”, he said.
He told the news outlet that the ambulance driver and a PRCS staff member who was escorting the wounded have both “survived”, but that one of them suffered from shrapnel wounds in his leg.
With them inside the vehicle was a female patient who is now in “serious condition and has been taken back inside al-Shifa hospital”, he added.
On Thursday, Israel’s security cabinet said in a statement that the country was “severing all contact with Gaza”.
It said:
There will be no more Palestinian workers from Gaza.
Before this month, 18,500 married men over the age of 25 had permission from the Israeli authorities to enter the country, mostly to work in agriculture and construction, as part of an Israeli policy designed to alleviate Gaza’s crushing poverty and create an economic lifeline that it was believed Hamas would be loth to jeopardise.
An unknown number of these workers were swept up in raids across Israel in the days after 7 October and imprisoned under the principle of administrative detention, which allows the arrest of suspects without charge or access to the evidence against them on the grounds that they may break the law in future.
Many have alleged they were tortured or otherwise mistreated in military prison facilities over the last few weeks. The International Committee of the Red Cross said it was repeatedly denied access to the arrested workers, who were held as “enemy non-combatants”.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not immediately reply to the Guardian’s request for comment on the arrests or ill-treatment allegations.
Thousands of Palestinian workers from Gaza who were stranded in Israel when war broke out last month have been deported back to the war-torn strip after being expelled by the Israeli government.
A Guardian reporter in Rafah, on the southern edge of the strip, saw a steady stream of men of all ages with no phones, money or identity cards enter the territory on Friday morning via the Kerem Shalom crossing for commercial goods, having walked about 2km from the Israeli side of the border. Mada Masr, an independent Egyptian news outlet, said about 3,200 people had been sent back through the checkpoint, which is controlled by Israel and Egypt.
The UN Human Rights Office said it was “deeply concerned” about the expulsions. “They are being sent back, we don’t know exactly to where, [and whether they] even have a home to go to,” its spokesperson Elizabeth Throssell told a news conference in Geneva. She said it was an incredibly dangerous situation.
The Israeli government has been contacted for comment on the transfer.

WHO chief ‘utterly shocked’ by reports of attacks on ambulances near al-Shifa Hospital
The director general of the World Health Organization (WHO) has said he is “utterly shocked” by reports of attacks on ambulances evacuating patients close to al-Shifa hospital in Gaza.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, posting to social media, urged that “patients, health workers, facilities, and ambulances must be protected at all times. Always”. He once again called for a ceasefire.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it carried out an airstrike on an ambulance which it said was being used by Hamas, adding that “a number of Hamas terrorist operatives” were killed in the strike.
The Hamas government in Gaza said Israeli forces targeted “a convoy of ambulances which was transporting the wounded” from Gaza City towards Rafah in the south. Gaza’s health ministry said “several citizens were killed and dozens wounded” in an Israeli strike at the entrance to al-Shifa, Gaza’s largest hospital.
Utterly shocked by reports of attacks on ambulances evacuating patients close to Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza, leading to deaths, injuries and damage.
We reiterate: patients, health workers, facilities, and ambulances must be protected at all times. Always.
IDF confirms airstrike on Gaza ambulance, saying it was being used by Hamas
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it carried out an airstrike on an ambulance in the northern Gaza Strip “that was identified by forces as being used by a Hamas terrorist cell”.
An IDF spokesperson said “a number” of Hamas fighters were killed in the strike, and that “more detailed information” was shared with allies. They said:
We have information which demonstrates that Hamas’s method of operation is to transfer terror operatives and weapons in ambulances.
The IDF added:
We emphasise that this area is a battle zone. Civilians in the area are repeatedly called upon to evacuate southwards for their own safety.
Here are some of the latest images we have received over the news wires after reports of dozens of casualties after an incident near Gaza’s largest hospital.
The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said a convoy of ambulances carrying wounded people were struck by Israeli strikes at the entrance to al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. The health ministry said “several citizens were killed and dozens wounded”.
The Guardian has not been able to verify these reports.

100 US citizens and family members left Gaza on Thursday, says White House
The White House has said 100 American citizens and family members left Gaza on Thursday, Reuters reported.
Another large group of Americans are expected to leave Gaza today, the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, told reporters.
She added that negotiations were intense on getting foreign nationals out of Gaza and that it was a fluid situation.
The US embassy in Cairo posted an image of the first groups of American citizens who had been able to leave Gaza through the Rafah border crossing into Egypt.

Half a million civilians trapped in a ‘siege within a siege’ in northern Gaza, says Oxfam
Oxfam has said it is “gravely concerned” for the lives of about 500,000 Palestinians who are currently trapped in a “siege within a siege” in northern Gaza.
In a statement on Friday, the charity organisation said Israeli forces have “imposed a near-complete stranglehold on Gaza City and the northern region, effectively cutting the enclave in half from the border wall to the sea”.
It accused Israel of the collective punishment of civilians in Gaza and violating international humanitarian law by depriving people of food, water, fuel, medicines and other aid. It warned of a “risk of further atrocious cost to civilian life in northern Gaza”.
Humanitarian support is “virtually impossible” in the north of Gaza, it said. One Oxfam humanitarian worker in north Gaza, Alhasan Swairjo, told the organisation:
We are sharing resources with ten other families. The markets almost empty. There’s no fresh food across all the city. We depend on canned food. The bread markets have no electricity and only a limited amount of fuel – one day, two days, five days – we don’t know … Our children are suffering, they don’t understand why we moved, why Israel is shooting us.
The organisation called for an immediate ceasefire and granting of humanitarian access and aid. It also called on the international community “to push for an end to Israel’s prolonged occupation of Palestinian territory, including lifting of the Gaza blockade.”
We reported earlier that the French foreign ministry said that an Israeli airstrike had hit the Institut Français in Gaza, and that the Gaza office of Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency was also hit.
AFP said its Gaza City office was significantly damaged by a strike on the building on Thursday. None of AFP’s eight staff usually based in the city were in the bureau at the moment of the strike, it said.
The news agency shared a clip from its live video feed capturing the moment of the strike, a few minutes before midday (10am GMT) on Thursday.

An Israeli military spokesperson told the news agency that “there was no IDF strike on the building” in Gaza.
The AFP chair and chief executive, Fabrice Fries, said the agency “condemns in the strongest possible terms this strike on its Gaza City bureau”, adding:
The location of this bureau is known to everyone and has been pointed out several times over the past few days, precisely to prevent such an attack and to allow us to continue to provide images on the ground.
The consequences of such an attack would have been devastating if the AFP team on the ground had not evacuated the city.
Salman al-Bashir, a journalist working for the Palestinian Authority’s TV channel, tore off his protective gear while reporting live on air after learning of the death of his colleague, Mohammed Abu Hatab.
Bashir delivered an emotional report from outside the hospital where Hatab and his family were pronounced dead. The Palestinian news anchor in the studio could be seen crying as Bashir said journalists were not being protected and the protective vests and helmets labelled ‘press’ were “merely a slogan”.
Bashir said Hatab had been alive only 30 minutes before, adding that journalists reporting from Gaza were “victims live on television”.

A Met police commander, Karen Findlay, an expert in public order and policing large events, said the organisers of the pro-Palestinian protests planned for Armistice Day had told police they had no intention of causing disruption to Remembrance events and were cooperating with officers.
She told a press briefing:
They have already expressed that they have no intention to disrupt Remembrance events and are working with us to really establish a route, assembly points, etc, which will not factor within what I would call the Remembrance footprint.
Findlay said police would use retrospective facial recognition to identify people at the march through London on Saturday and vowed to intervene quickly and enter crowds if necessary to remove suspects.
She denied that the tougher police tactics were a result of political pressure from government ministers and media supporters, telling a press briefing:
No, we are retaining our operational independence. We are reviewing our policing approach and it’s right that that is responsive, taking into account what has occurred.
Rishi Sunak has described pro-Palestinian protests planned for London on Armistice Day as “provocative and disrespectful”.
The prime minister also claimed that there was a “clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated” on a day when thousands of marchers were due to take to the streets.
His intervention came after the security minister, Tom Tugendhat, said the planned demonstration by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign (PSC) on Saturday 11 November in central London was “a matter of great concern” to him and that he had written to police about it.
The march is taking place on Armistice Day, when events will include a two-minute silence commemorating Britain’s war dead on the 105th anniversary of the end of the first world war. The PSC said there are no plans to march near Whitehall or the Cenotaph on Remembrance weekend.
Sunak used the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to say he had asked the home secretary to support the police “in doing everything necessary” to protect the sanctity of Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. He said:
To plan protests on Armistice Day is provocative and disrespectful, and there is a clear and present risk that the Cenotaph and other war memorials could be desecrated, something that would be an affront to the British public and the values we stand for.
The right to remember, in peace and dignity, those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those freedoms must be protected.
The Japanese government said it will provide about $65m (£53m) in additional humanitarian aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Japan’s foreign minister, Yoko Kamikawa, made the pledge during talks with her Palestinian counterpart, Riad Malki, in Ramallah in the West Bank, her ministry said.
Kamikawa also met with Israel’s foreign minister, Eli Cohen, and called for a humanitarian pause to the deepening crisis in Gaza, the ministry said.
