This is cnn Breaking News hello and welcome. Coming to you live from the studio, at the cnn studio in atlanta. I am michael holmes. We continue our breaking News Coverage of israel and war. And we begin with a Major Development in that Israel Hamas War. The u. N. Says israel is ordering more than 1 million palestinians and Northern Gaza to move to the south, the u. N. Said it was called within the next 24 hours, and several of those arrows have already passed. A u. N. Spokesperson calls the request impossible, saying that it could turn an already tragic situation into a calamity. It is likely the clearest sign yet israel planning to intensify its Military Operations and gaza, following hamas Attack On Israel. That killed at least 1200 people. Tens of thousands of israeli troops, tanks, and other Military Equipment now gathered along the gaza border, meanwhile the aerial and artillery assault on gaza shows no sign of waking up as air israel says it has destroyed hamas tunnels, weapons caches, rocket launches, and storage facilities. But there is enormous and worsening suffering for the civilians in gaza. Palestinian Health Ministry there says more than 1500 people have now been killed by israeli airstrikes and shelling. And without power, or water, or fuel, the alps care system is on the brink of collapse. The u. S. Secretary of state, anthony blinken, is in jordan right now. Making scheduled in qatar, saudi arabia, and the united arab emirates. On thursday he met with Prime Minister netanyahu. Encountered a nation that together by grief, but also a nation united and resolve. The United States shares that resolve. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of israel. All right, lets go live to london now. Where journalist Elliott Gotkine is following developments for us. What is this with the u. N. Being told it needs to move more than 1 Million People from the north of gaza, to the south. What does that suggest of what is to come and how on earth can such a move take place in what is now, about what, 17 to 18 hours from now . I think its the clear is a indication yet that israel plans to ramp up its attacks on hamas targets around the gaza strip. And possibly, this is the next step towards this expected Ground Invasion that we have been talking about for the past few days. In terms of what has is happened in gaza. This war has been give by the israelis to the United Nations. Just for five eastern time, what israel was saying is that the statement says. Civilians of gaza city, evacuate south for the year old safety, and the safety of your families. And distance yourself from Hamas Terrorists that are using you as a human shield. This area north of gaza, which the u. N. Says accounts for about 1. 1 Million People. Thats about half the entire population of the gaza strip. So its about roughly ten kilometers south from the northern tip of the gaza strip. Though it does very. And what the United Nations is saying, what the media response was, was that it was impossible to move that many people south without in its words, devastating humanitarian consequences. Now the u. N. s palestinian and Refugee Agency has really moved its Central Operations and staff to the south, hamas, while the Gaza Media Office which of course is controlled by hamas, which controls the gaza strip, putting out a statement after israels warning. Saying the palestinians, dont fall for what it described as false propaganda. And also said that it was just part of psychological warfare on the part of israel. Its now the u. N. Secretary general, antonio gutierrez, has asked for a qualification. Israels envoy tonight for a nation says in his words, it is shameful. Michael . Yes, and were getting some clarification for the parent lake. Calling on all civilians of gaza city, specifically to evacuate southward on friday. Which is today. It is an extraordinary demand. Im just failing to see how it isnt any way possible to move 1 Million People south in that period of time, with bombardment ongoing . And a lot of the roads and infrastructure damaged . Clearly, its not going to be easy. The United Nations has just said, as we just said, that it is impossible without devastating humanitarian consequences. What israel wants to do is minimize Civilian Casualties from bombing, or a Ground Incursion which is likely to come, if it does, from the north. We dont know for sure that it is going to happen. We expect it to happen. And we obviously do not know precisely when and where israel would go in. But by clearing that northern part of the gaza strip. If it is able to do so. And if the palestinian, the Civilian Palestinian Population pays heed to the warning. This will make the job that much easier. But from a military perspective, and also of course in the information war, in terms of the optics. By minimizing Civilian Casualties. But theyve seen hundreds of thousands of palestinians moving south. All their wealth and possessions to get out of harm s way. Its not gonna be a particularly good luck from israels perspective either. But it feels that this is something that it has to do. And given the gravity of the situation, and the brutality of hamas Attack On Israel in the early hours of saturday morning. I think this time around, certainly compared with previous, wars with hamas and militants in the governors trip, israel is less concerned about the optics of what it is doing and very much more focused on the Military Operation and freeing those up to 150 hostages that hamas took from israel inside of the gaza strip. Michael . Elliott gotkine, in london thank you so much. Appreciate it. With israel facing growing criticism for an attempted in of a half dozen Training Camps in gaza after locations were reported by cnn. According to reporting, at least six of the sites were within two kilometers of the most heavily pro Trolled Section of the border with Clarissa Ward with details. Propaganda videos put out by hamas, reveal chilling details about the years of preparations that went into saturdays bloody attacks, right under israels nose. Analyzing better data from the videos, a scene an investigation can reveal the presence of at least six Training Sites inside of gaza, one just 720 meters from the most heavily fortified and patrolled part of israels border, in that camp how must recreated a israeli compound with elements of the nearby border crossing. Including any sigma of the areas battalion. They even show they practice taking prisoners, zip tying their hands at the camp. Satellite injury indicates the camp was constructed in the last year and a half. And to other locations in the southern part of gaza, hamas trained for their audacious terrorists all the scent. It all has two years of satellite imagery, reviewed by cnn, shows no indication of offensive Israeli Military action. It instead shows that in the last two years, some camp even expanded to surrounding farmland. And that there was activity in the last several months of the camps. The stunning revelations raise questions as to how hamas was able to train so openly, so close to the border for so long. And why israeli officials were unable to pick on, and prevent the october 7th attack. Clarissa ward, cnn. Quick break here on the program, when we come back, cnn visits the front line in southern israel, as Tens Of Thousands of troops prepare for the next phase of the campaign against hamas. Welcome back, the Israeli Defense forces are urging all civilians in Northern Gaza, including the heavy populated gaza city to evacuate southwards for their own safety. The idf says they will announce when it is safe for civilians to return. Israels military alleges quote, the Hamas Terrorists are housing in gaza city. Inside tunnels, underneath houses, inside buildings. Populated with innocent gaza facility ends. The United Nations warns the evacuation of what would be more than 1 Million People on a short notice like that could have devastating humanitarian consequences. Gaza of course is already gripped by a crisis that is worsening by the hour. Relief groups say there is an urgent need for humanitarian corridors, so it can reach civilians. Israels Siege Of Gaza has cut off access to food, water, electricity, and medical supplies. Hospitals are overwhelmed. The palestinian military of health says as israeli air strike has killed 1500 people, and wounded over 6000. Israel has been pounding the enclave with airstrikes and shelling, and response to last weekends hamas attack. Which israel says killed more than 1200 people. The white house, meanwhile, says it has no plans to put u. S. Troops on the ground in the region. Ahead of unexpected Military Incursion into gaza. Cnns Nick Robertson reports on preparations. Israels newly emerging frontline in the war with hamas, have a howitzers just again. Firing on the terror group a few miles away in gaza. Part of israels massive Military Buildup since hamass attacks saturday. Many of the 300,000 reservists called up already deployed ahead of a highly anticipated ground pensive into gaza. These are exactly the same gun positions the Israeli Defense forces used in their last major confrontation with hamas back in 2021. The question now, will this confrontation be different . Will israel actually be able to crush hamas . The Prime Minister says he wants to do. Military offensives have beaten them before, but it wont be easy now. The Palestinian Death toll in unintended consequence of israeli shelling and missile strikes is climbing. Thursday, staunch ally the u. S. Cautioning care. The Prime Minister and i discussed. How israel does, this matters. We democracies distinguish ourselves from terrorist by striving for a different standard, even when its difficult. And it will be difficult. Israel is still reeling from the deadliest, most barbaric attack on its citizens since the state was founded. Anger at hamass high, so to, pressure on the Prime Minister to act decisively. Calling for more International Support as he plans for his offensive. Hamas should be treated exactly the way i. S. I. S. Was treated. They should be spit out from the community of nations. No leader should meet them. No country should harbor them. And those that do should be sanctioned. In the meantime, hamas is still getting into israel. This gunboat all with them late wednesday. There were multiple incursions by Hamas Terrorists yesterday. I drove right to stereo during this time three terrorists were out. The tempo of fire here far higher than in 2021. A drumbeat that seems to signal a ground offensive, all but inevitable. Even so, its outcome far from certain. Nic robertson, cnn, sderot, israel. All right, i want to bring in gideon levy now, a journalist and opinion writer with haaretz in tel aviv. Good to see you, tragically this is another bloody chapter. Isnt it . Or it will be bloodier than others. In the cycle of wash, rinse, repeat. Some of you call it mowing the lawn. What is the risk once the dust settles of the return. F fundamental issues are not addressed. What will this happen again . Unfortunately, israel does not learn anything from the past. Because we have been there so many times. And committed the same pretext and gaza. Killed so many people of gaza. And a few months later, one year later. We were back in square one we have to realize that these problem, there is a huge problem, this problem will never be solved only by force. But now i think we are facing a new situation. It seems now, its not going to be like in the past. Israel, at least according to the plans, at least according to the warnings and the threats, is going to create a massive crime of war. If we are going to transfer 1 Million People within 24 hours, this will be unforgivable. That is a tragedy that nobody can know how it will end. On saturday there was a valiant Attack On Israel. But this does not mean that israel cant go crazy, and do whatever it wants. If we are really going to face this, i am very scared. Yeah, i mean, israel strikes and gaza are massive and hamas, lee at least is the target. Hamas says. But hamas isnt gaza read in large in terms of the 2. 2 Million People who live there. Do you think that fact gets loss and what we are saying . Yes it does, because at the end of the day hamas should be punished, and should be smashed. But you cannot do it at any price. There are limits. There are legal limits, there are moral limits, you cant do them at any price. Unless you decided you claim all gaza and expel the 2 Million People of gaza. Or exterminated them. We should get there, we should do whatever is possible, legal, and moral, but not be on this because i really feel we are on the edge of a catastrophe. the new stuffed quesadillas. Only at El Pollo Loco youre probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers the for your business. Llas.

Welcome back, i am michael holmes. The Israeli Military calling on all civilians and Northern Gaza, including gaza city to evacuate southwards on friday. The u. N. Urgently seeking clarification, saying such an Evacuation Order simply is not possible. It is the surest side yet that the Israeli Ground offensive may be imminent in retaliation for the hamas massacres that killed 1200 people. [speaking in a nonenglish language] [sound of artillery] the idea says some 300,000 israeli troops are now amassing near causes border. Artillery and airstrikes against hamas targets inside of gaza have continued almost nonstop. The palestinians say more than 1500 people including 500 children have died so far in those israeli bombardments. The u. N. Says nearly 423,000 people have been displaced from their homes. Food, water, fuel, power, all have been cut off. I want to bring back gideon levy, journalist in tel aviv. Im sorry, we lost the ordeal with you earlier. I was gonna quote you from a piece that you did inherit. And you said the threats of threatening guys approve only one thing we have not learned a thing. The arrogance is here to stay even though israel is paying a high price once again. Just briefly explain that for us. Those where wait and before i knew how big was the massacre in the south of israel. And still, i stand behind it. Because israel should obviously protect itself. Israel has the right to retaliates, to take revenge, to smash gaza knot, gaza, To Smash Hamas all of this is legitimate. What is unacceptable is now we will punish 2. 3 Million People in the way that we have never punish them before. That is a crime of war. Listen, by the end of the day in gaza there are before anything else, human beings. Like you and me. And they are in terrible, terrible position now. Where will they run . Where will they find rescue . 1 Million People run to the south part of gaza, or should they run into the ocean . I mean, what do we say that because we were victims of a terrible, terrible attack on saturday, now we have the right to do whatever we want with innocent people . This is really above all, what will it lead . What Will Israel Gain out of it . And this is what i meant that they dont learn anything. In a few months, it will be over. Gaza will be and then what . Who will replace hamas exactly . Yes. And then this obviously goes without saying. But the hamas my attack was horrible, beautiful, terrorism. But a critical strategic mistake by pushing the palestinian issue to the side, the core issue of the occupation and so on, should the core palestinian issues, the occupation issues. Self determination, and so on, be part of the discussion
