Israel warns Gazans to leave homes as air strikes continue

Israel has ordered thousands of Palestinians in eastern and northern Gaza to leave their homes as it continues air strikes.

Israel đã thông báo cho hàng ngàn người Palestin rời bỏ nhà cửa của họ ở dải Gaza khi các cuộc giao tranh tiếp tục xảy ra.

The warning came after an Egyptian truce initiative failed to hlt militant rocket attacks on Israel.

Một lời cảnh báo đã được đưa ra sau khi sáng kiến đàn phán của Ai Cập thất bại để ngăn chặn các cuộc leo thang ở Gaza.

Palestinian officials say Israeli raids have killed 194 people so far. Israel on Tuesday reported its first fatality.

Một quan chức Palestin cho biết các cuộc tấn công của Israel đã giết chết khoảng 194 người dân. Đến thứ 3 vừa rồi Irael mới có một trường hợp tử vong.

The resumption of air strikes come after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had " no choice" but to step up the military campaign.

Việc nối lại các cuộc tấn công xảy ra khi thủ tướng Israel cho biết ông không có sự lựa chọn nào khác. Phải tiếp tục các cuộc tấn công.

"When there is no ceasefire, our answer is fire," Mr Netayahu said.

"Khi không có các cuộc ngừng bắn, câu trả lời của chúng tôi là khói lửa" Netayahu nói.

The Israel Defense Forces are using recordded telephone messages, warning 100,000 residents of Gaza to leave homes before 08:00 (05:00 GMT) on Wednesday.

Quân đội Israel đã sử dụng tin nhắn điện thoại để cảnh báo đến 100000 người dân ở dải Gaza, phải rời bỏ nhà cửa trước 8h sáng thứ tư.

Israel launched its Operation Protective Edge eight days ago. Its stated objective is to halt Palestinian rocket attaks on Israel, but the UN says the majority of those killed in Gaza have been civilians.

Israel mở các cuộc tấn công từ 8 ngày trước. Họ nói mục tiêu là các cơ sở của nhóm phiến quân, nhưng liên hợp quốc nói đa số người thiệt mạng là các dân thường vô tội.

Hamas says the terms of the ceasefire did not address concerns over the economic blockade of the Gaza trip, which has caused severe economic hardship for many Palestinians.

Hamas cho biết các điều khoản của lệnh ngừng bắn đã không được thông qua, lệnh phong tỏa kinh tế được siết chặt, cuộc sống của người dân Palestin càng khó khăn hơn.

PM "a failure"

(Một sự thất bại)

The Egyptian-backed truce was to have started at 09:00 (06:00 GMT) on Tuesday.

Các thỏa thuận ngừng bắn do Ai Cập đề suất bắt đầu vào 9h sáng thứ 3

It took six hours for the first attempet to broker a deal between Israel and Hamas to founder.

Phải mất sáu giờ đầu tiên để cố gắng nối lại các cuộc đàn phán.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu had warned that if the rocket fire continued, Israel would hit back hard - and now it has.

Israel cảnh báo nếu cứ tiếp tục bắn Rocket thì Israel sẽ đáp trả và không có đàm phán.

In the search for a ceasefire, thi is clearly a setback although not necessarily a terminal blow.

Trong cuộc tìm kiếm một lệnh ngừng bắn,

Hamas wants some concessions like the lifting of the tight restrictions Israel and Egypt impose on Gaza's border in advance of any deal.


Hamas muốn có một sự nhượng bộ như là dỡ bỏ lệnh cấm vận áp đặt lên biên giới Gaza

Egypt won't give on its diplomatics efforts after a single setback but the resumption of hostilites means the question of whether Israel will eventuall order ground operations is back on the agenda.

Israel's security cabinet approved it and operations wre helted for six hours.

However, Israel then resumed its attacks on Gaza, saying militants had continued to fire dozens of rockets.

Mr Netanyahu said:  "This would have been better resolved diplomatically, that's what we tried to do when we accepted the Egyptian truce proposal.

"But hamas leaves us no choice but to expand and intensify the campaign against it."

One senior Hamas spokesman, Osama Hamdan, told the BBC it had only heard about the truce initiative trough the media and that a ceasefire could not be put in place without the details of any agreement being known.

Moussa Abu Marzouk, a top Hamas official, said no final decision had been taken on the Egyptian initiative.

But he told Lebanese TV: "The siege on Gaza must be broken and the people of Gaza should live freeely like other people of the world."

Another Hamas leader in Gaza, Mushir al-Masri, told Associated Press that mediators and international guarantees would be needed for any deal to work.

Mr Netanyahu had come under fire in Israel for accepting the truce initiative.

His office announced that deputy defence minister danny Danon had been sacked for comments branding the PM a "failure".

"It is inconceivable that the deputy defence minister will attack the country's leadership leading the campaign, "a statement read.

Israel has mobilised tens of thousands of troops on the border with Gaza amid speculation a ground invasion could be launched.

Israeli defence official Amos Gilad said: "we still have possibility of going in , under cabinet authority, and putting an end to [the rockets]."

Us state deparment spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Israel had the right to defend itself, but added that "no-one wants a ground war".

The Israel Defense Forces said militants had fired more than 140 rockets into Israel on Tuesday, and more than 1,100 in the past eight days.

A 38-year-old Israeli man was killed by a mortar shell fired from Gaza near the northern border with Israel, reports said.

The UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) said on Tuesday that hundreds of thousands of Gazans were without water following the Israeli air strikes and that 560 homes had been destroyed.
