A siren, which the ministry said warned of incoming Hamas rocket fire, can be heard in the background.<\/p>\n
"Today I've seen a glimpse of what millions experience every day. The threat of Hamas rockets lingers over every Israeli man, woman and child," Cleverly said on social media.<\/p>\n
"This is why we are standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel."<\/p>\n
The Foreign Secretary had arrived in the country this morning to show the UK's "unwavering solidarity" for Israeli people following Hamas's terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n "He will be meeting survivors of the attacks and senior Israeli leaders to outline UK support for Israel's right to defend itself," a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n More than 2,000 people have been killed since\u00a0the Palestinian militants staged a surprise three-pronged assault by land, air and sea\u00a0on Israel on Saturday.<\/p>\n It was the deadliest attack in Israel's 75-year history as gunmen rampaged through Israeli towns and a music festival, killing more over a thousand and taking scores of hostages to Gaza.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n And as the bloody conflict enters its fifth day, the terrorists have continued on their rampage of terror, which included the slaughter of 40 babies and kids.<\/p>\n Amid the chaos, a Lebanese terror group has now begun bombarding northern Israel with a large number of hostile aircraft, the IDF claims.<\/p>\n Israeli citizens have been urged to take shelter amid fears of a "large-scale attack" and a possible second front opening in the war.<\/p>\n It is not known which type of aircraft are involved or exactly who is responsible.<\/p>\n But there were unconfirmed reports of up to 20 drones and a number of paragliders crossing the border this evening.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Benny Gantz have created a wartime Cabinet overseeing the revenge assault as the country prepares for an all-out ground offensive into Gaza.<\/p>\n Israel's military has insisted hundreds of troops massed near the Gaza border are "ready to execute the mission we have been given".<\/p>\n The nation at war has vowed to raze the Gaza Strip to the ground as dozens of fighter jets continue to hammer neighbourhood after neighbourhood in Gaza City.<\/p>\n In just one hour this morning, Israel reportedly unleashed 250 airstrikes on the enclave they call the "Nest of Terror" used by Hamas militants to launch attacks against Israel.<\/p>\n Gaza's health ministry stated that 1,055 people have been killed, 5,184 injured and 250,000 homeless.<\/p>\n It comes as…<\/strong><\/p>\n And Gaza – which has a population of 2.3 million – is only hours away from plunging into a blackout as its sole power plant has dried up, leaving only generators to power the territory.<\/p>\n Earlier today, energy supplies at hospitals had already started to rapidly dwindle – leaving doctors unable to use surgical equipment.<\/p>\n Health officials say the lives of hundreds of children are now at risk as electricity supplies diminish.<\/p>\n Israel\u00a0has halted fuel, food and medicine entering the blockaded territory in revenge for Hamas's bloody massacre.<\/p>\n The Israeli military said more than 1,200 people, including 155 soldiers, have been killed in Israel since Hamas terrorists stormed across the border and killed hundreds in a\u00a0bloody massacre.<\/p>\n It comes as an Israeli lawmaker urged her government to consider using nuclear weapons in their offensive against the terror group.<\/p>\n Parliament member Revital "Tally" Gotliv posted on X on Monday: "Jericho missile! Jericho missile! A strategic alert, before we consider introducing our forces. A doomsday weapon!<\/p>\n "This is my opinion. May God preserve all our strength."\u00a0<\/p>\n In a separate post the following day the lawmaker said that Israel needs to be merciless against the Hamas.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, British Airways has suspended all flights in and out of Israel due to safety concerns after one of its planes was diverted back to London.<\/p>\n In a statement,\u00a0British Airways\u00a0said: "Safety is always our highest priority and following the latest assessment of the situation we're suspending our flights to and from Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n "We continue to monitor the situation in the region closely."<\/p>\n Four British citizens have now been confirmed dead so far, while a further 13 – including children – are feared missing or killed.<\/p>\n The "heartbroken" family of Londoner Jake Marlowe announced he was killed this evening after he went missing during the Hamas attack at a music festival.<\/p>\n Brits Corporal Nathanel Young, 20, Bernard Cowen, 57, and Daniel Darlington, 34, were also killed amongst the fighting,<\/p>\n<\/picture>TRAGIC FIND <\/span><\/p>\n
