It came as Israel’s military said that its troops were preparing “for the next stage of the war.” The country has called up 360,000 reservists, and Israel has warned that, after the massacre of its citizens by Hamas on Saturday, the rules have changed. “Every Hamas member is marked by death,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.It came as Israel’s military said that its troops were preparing “for the next stage of the war.” The country has called up 360,000 reservists, and Israel has warned that, after the massacre of its citizens by Hamas on Saturday, the rules have changed. “Every Hamas member is marked by death,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.

Humanitarian corridor: Egypt said it would facilitate the moving of urgently needed aid into Gaza, but officials in Cairo were adamantly opposed to allowing Gazans to enter the country, their only viable exit.
What else to know:
More details were emerging on the atrocity of the Hamas attack on dozens of towns and a military base: civilians, including children, shot dead in homes, in cars, on streets and in hiding places.
A U.S. Treasury Department official said that Iran, a backer of Hamas, would be blocked from access to $6 billion that the Biden administration had sent to Qatar to be released for humanitarian purposes.
While Israelis have largely shown solidarity since the Hamas massacre, Netanyahu’s government has begun to face a backlash from people angered by its security failure.
