Israel taking ‘pinpoint measures’ to allow Gazans to flee, says defence minister

(BBC News) Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant has told journalists that the military is undertaking “localized, pinpoint measures” in Gaza to enable Palestinians to flee the fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas.

However, he did not directly address a question regarding the comments from a White House spokesman saying there would be daily four-hour pauses in northern Gaza.

He repeated the Israeli government line that the war would continue until Hamas is toppled and hostages held in Gaza are freed.

Over 200 people were taken hostage by Hamas on October 7. Only four have been freed.
