Israel has reported its forces again fired into Lebanon, responding to an attack.
‘A short time ago, an IDF tank attacked a terrorist squad in Lebanese territory that tried to launch an anti-tank missile towards Israeli territory near the Shatula area,’ IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari wrote.
‘Also, earlier today IDF forces attacked a position of the terrorist organization Hezbollah, in order to remove a threat.’
Thousands of people are reported to be passing down the evacuation corridor opened by the IDF to allow Israeli citizens in the north of Gaza to flee south.
A video released by the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), a unit in the Israeli army that coordinates on civilian issues, shows a large crowd of people walking down what appears to be Gaza’s main road.
According to the Embassy of Israel in the US, three of Hamas’s most senior leaders – Mousa Abu Marzouk, Khaled Mashal and Ismail Haniyeh – have net worths of more than $3billion each.
The embassy also claims that Hamas’s annual turnover is $1billion and suggests the group is second only to ISIS as the world’s richest terror group.
While other estimates of Hamas’s wealth are more conservative, there is no question the group leaders have amassed huge fortunes, and in May 2022, the US Treasury Department sanctioned a Hamas finance official as well as other financial facilitators.
But how has Hamas accumulated its wealth?

The Kremlin called on Tuesday for ‘humanitarian pauses’ during Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip.
It described the humanitarian situation there as ‘catastrophic’.
Russia will continue contacts with Israel, Egypt and the Palestinians to help ensure that humanitarian supplies can be delivered into Gaza, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a regular briefing.
He made no mention of Russian atrocities against civilians in Ukraine, where tens of thousands of civilians have been killed by Moscow’s armies.
The IDF has said it has opened an evacuation corridor to allow civilians in northern Gaza to move south.
Israel has for weeks been urging civilians still in the north of the coastal strip to flee to the south before its forces move into Gaza City.
However, aid groups have warned that thousands of people, particularly the elderly and people who are injured or sick, are unable to make the journey.
What’s more, there have been reports of Israeli attacks on civilian vehicles along the main road that links the north and south of the Gaza Strip, including one incident in which an IDF tank opened fire on a car.
Israel has again air-dropped leaflets and sent text messages ordering Palestinian civilians still in northern Gaza to head south.
Home to 1.1 million before the war, many people have heeded Israel’s warning. But a US official said Saturday at least 350,000 civilians remained in the worst-hit areas.
Military analysts have warned of weeks of gruelling house-to-house fighting ahead in Gaza, from which Israel withdrew in 2005.
‘Hamas has had 15 years to prepare a dense ‘defence in depth’ that integrates subterranean, ground-level and above-ground fortifications,’ said Michael Knights of the Washington Institute think tank.
The group’s defences also include ‘potential minefields, improvised explosive devices, explosively formed penetrator anti-armour mines, and buildings rigged as explosive booby traps,’ he said.
The operation is hugely complicated for Israel because of the hostages, including very young children and frail elderly people, who are believed to be held inside a tunnel network spanning hundreds of miles.
Turkey’s Anadolu Agency has released the below map showing details of Israel’s on-going ground incursion into the Gaza Strip.
It demonstrates how the IDF has cut off North Gaza and Gaza City from the southern part of the territory, and is now surrounding the city. The map also shows what areas of the coastal strip have been damaged by IDF airstrikes.
Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed Israel will take control of the ‘overall security’ of the Gaza Strip after his country’s war with Hamas.
Resisting calls for a ceasefire, Netanyahu said there would be no letup in the war to destroy the terror group, whose attack one month ago today left 1,400 dead in Israel.
‘Israel will, for an indefinite period, have the overall security responsibility,’ he said. ‘When we don’t have that security responsibility, what we have is the eruption of Hamas terror on a scale that we couldn’t imagine.’

The United Nations Security Council failed again last night to agree on a resolution on the Israel-Hamas war.
Despite more than two hours of closed-door discussions, differences remained.
The US is calling for ‘humanitarian pauses’ while many council members are demanding a ‘humanitarian cease-fire’ to deliver desperately needed aid and prevent more civilian deaths in Gaza.
‘We talked about humanitarian pauses and we’re interested in pursuing language on that score,’ U.S. deputy ambassador Robert Wood told reporters after the meeting. ‘But there are disagreements within the council about whether that’s acceptable.’
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres earlier Monday told reporters he wanted an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza and a halt to the ‘spiral of escalation’ already taking place from the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria to Iraq and Yemen.
Guterres said international humanitarian law, which demands protection of civilians and infrastructure essential for their lives, is clearly being violated and stressed that ‘no party to an armed conflict is above’ these laws.
He called for the immediate unconditional release of the hostages Hamas took from Israel to Gaza in its Oct. 7 attack.
China, which holds the Security Council presidency this month, and the United Arab Emirates, the Arab representative on the council, called Monday’s meeting because of the ‘crisis of humanity’ in Gaza.
Moussa Abu Marzouk, a senior Hamas leader, has refused to acknowledge that his terror group killed civilians in Israel in the October 7 attack.
He told the BBC that ‘women, children and civilians were exempt’ from the attacks, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Videos filmed by Hamas fighters themselves have shown them shooting unarmed men, women and children, and the bodies of civilians have been recovered from several communities in southern Israel since the attack.
Israel says more than 1,400 people in Israel were killed, mostly civilians killed, in the October 7 incursion by Hamas that started the war.
Israel has vowed to remove Hamas from power and crush its military capabilities.
