STORYLINE:

Voice of Sanaa Kamal, Xinhua reporter in Gaza
"For the fourteenth day in a row, the Gaza Strip is subjected to a large-scale military campaign by the Israeli army, which continues to launch air strikes on several areas in the Strip and target civilian facilities to cause a large number of civilian victims."

Voice of OHOOD AL-JAGHOUB, Xinhua reporter in Ramallah
"No aid entered Gaza till now, the Egyptian side rehabilitated the roads of Rafah crossing since this morning, but a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel was not achieved, while the humanitarian crisis is deepening.
Many human rights organizations and the UN asked for a humanitarian ceasefire, as an essential step for the UN and other organizations to be able to start their mission in the strip, and warned of the collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza."

STANDUP 1 (English): ZHANG TIANLANG, Xinhua correspondent in Jerusalem
"Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Friday that Israel will aim to destroy Hamas. After that it will create a new security regime in Gaza and create a new security reality for citizens of Israel.
Israel's Defense Ministry and military launched a plan to evacuate the residents of the northern city of Kiryat Shmona due to escalating tensions along Israel's northern border. This is the second time in less than a week that Israel evacuates the citizens in northern border towns."

STANDUP 2 (English): YANG YIRAN, Xinhua correspondent in Cairo
"Large-scale rallies were held across Egypt on Friday to show solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Over the past week, Egypt has publicly criticized Israel, accusing Israel of trying to push Gaza's inhabitants onto Egyptian territory.
In Türkiye, where there is a three-day mourning period for the victims of a Gaza hospital blast, thousands protested outside mosques in Istanbul and Ankara, denouncing Israel's actions in Gaza. Israel withdrew its diplomats from Türkiye due to security concerns."
