Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned Saturday that Israel must protect Gaza’s civilian population. “And if you drive them into the arms of the enemy, you replace a tactical victory with a strategic defeat,” Austin said. The comments came as Israel ramped up airstrikes on Gaza and directed residents to evacuate some neighborhoods after a seven-day pause in fighting with Hamas ended. At least 15,207 people have been killed in Gaza and 40,652 wounded since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. |
