United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Thursday (August 21) called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, after Israel announced the first steps of an operation to take over Gaza City.

"It is vital to reach immediately a ceasefire in Gaza... to avoid the death and destruction that a military operation against Gaza City would inevitably cause," Guterres said in Japan where he is attending a conference on African development. He also called on Israel to reverse a decision to expand "illegal" settlement construction in the West Bank. (8669-ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS/GAZA-UN)

Palestinians ran to safety on Thursday (August 21) as an Israeli airstrike hit Deir al-Balah, followed by thick plumes of smoke that turned the sky to mostly grey.

Israel, which has called up tens of thousands of army reservists, is pressing ahead with its plan to seize Gaza's biggest urban center despite international criticism of an operation likely to force the displacement of many more Palestinians. Israel currently holds about 75% of the Gaza Strip. (8714-ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS/GAZA-EXPLOSION)
