— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧 Seventh day of the war, October 13th, status update and major events:
– Renlentless bombing campaign in Gaza continues; Israel drops leaflets asking residents of Gaza City to evacuate to areas in the south of the Gaza strip. Later on, Israel bombed a civilian convoy on a road that Israel promised not to target, resulting in at least 70 deaths.
– All areas around the Gaza strip have been cleared of Hamas fighters, based on the evidence that is currently available. No more successful infiltrations were reported.
– Iran's Foreign Minister met with the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.
– Massive protests in support of Palestine were held around the world, particularly in Muslim nations such as Iraq, Iran, Yemen and Jordan.
– The Israeli settlement of Metula near the Lebanese border was declared a closed military zone by the IDF.
– Sporadic small rocket barrages against Israeli cities. Hamas also launched one long range Ayyash 250 missile into the direction of Haifa, which hit a chemical production plant.
– Hezbollah announced that it targeted three Israeli settlements near the Lebanese border with armed fighters using small arms, and says it inflicted casualties upon the IDF.
– In a response to the Hezbollah attack, the IDF fired artillery at South Lebanon, destroying one Lebanese army observation tower. In response to this, the Lebanese army fired artillery back at Israel.
– Israeli artillery, or possibly a hellfire missile fired by an IAF attack helicopter, killed a Reuters journalist in South Lebanon and heavily injured three other journalists belonging to Al-Jazeera.
