    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    More than one million Palestinians were warned to move to southern Gaza from the north at the weekend by the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), ahead of an expected ground invasion.

    The Palestinian health ministry, which is run by Hamas, has also claimed up to 500 people, which they called “martyrs”, were killed in a bombing that targeted a hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday.

    IDF spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, told Sky News earlier: "You can’t expect us not to protect our civilians because Hamas are hiding behind theirs.

    The chief of Israel’s military intelligence, Major General Aharon Haliva, has written a letter taking responsibility for failure to anticipate the deadly attack.

    Speaking at a news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday, Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said Hamas was responsible for the safety of civilians in Gaza, including hostages they have taken, and claimed the group is using citizens as human shields.

    Hundreds of people are feared buried under the rubble in Gaza, and more than a million Palestinians have fled their homes, with aid agencies warning of a deteriorating humanitarian crisis.
