President Joe Biden, when responding to a heckler at a Minnesota campaign event Wednesday night, said he thinks there should be a humanitarian "pause" in the Israeli-Hamas war to get "prisoners" out of Gaza.

The 80-year-old Democrat was delivering remarks to some 200 supporters in the northern US state when a member of the audience shouted out to him.

In an alarming turn of events, Israel is now under attack not only from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon but also from Yemen. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported this morning that they had identified an "air target" approaching Israeli territory near the southern resort town of Eilat.

Hamas said it was engaged in "heavy fighting" with Israeli troops on Sunday inside northern Gaza, where besieged residents were again told to flee.

After weeks of ferocious air strikes, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared a new "stage" in what he warned will be a "long and difficult" war.

The ruling Justice and Development Party's (AKP) organized a large rally in solidarity with Palestine, on Oct. 28 at Atatürk Airport.

The rally aimed to draw attention to what the organizers have described as "Israeli brutality" in the region.

President and AKP leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the rally.

Netanyahu reportedly fears liability if the ground operation fails.

As the army stated, infantry units, armored and other units with the support of drones and combat helicopters participated in the raid, for the second night in a row, near the neighborhood of Shejaiya in the eastern part of Gaza City.
Artillery and airstrikes were carried out on Hamas targets, including anti-tank guided missile launch sites and command centers.

In the Security Council of the United Nations, resolutions that would have demanded an end to the conflict in the Gaza Strip, due to the delivery of humanitarian aid, were blocked by the veto of the permanent members.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has proposed an international peace process for resolving the Israel-Palestine question and has called on all the parties for an immediate ceasefire and the establishment of a humanitarian corridor into Gaza to heal the wounds of civilians who have been under attack by Israel since Oct. 7.

Although there were unofficial announcements that about 50 hostages would be released, Hamas released only two elderly women.
Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant again addressed the soldiers near Gaza, repeating that Israel will launch a ground offensive against the enclave. He added that the troops were ready and that it would be a "deadly" attack.

The manual was found after Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel on October 7. The Washington Post, which obtained the manual, said that in the manual the organization reveals their combat skills and how to behave when facing the enemy.
