THE LATEST: According to Gaza health authorities, 45 people were reported killed in an Israeli attack on a house in the central Gaza Strip on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army launched an offensive in earnest on the town of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday afternoon, an Italian commander stated that IDF forces were in their fiercest fighting since the ground invasion began.

The commander claimed Israeli soldiers were “in the heart” of the city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Fighter jets bombed targets in the area late Tuesday, where Israel had ordered the mass evacuation of 600,000 residents and war refugees.

A spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip claimed on Tuesday that the hospital received 43 people who died from Khan Younis in the morning. He finds himself in the hospital.

– Another wave of displacement is underway, and the humanitarian situation is worsening by the hour, wrote the head of the UN aid organization for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza, Thomas White, on social media on Tuesday.

The war in Gaza is believed to have caused 3 out of 4 of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents to flee, and now many are fleeing again and to even smaller areas.

The Israeli army has divided the Gaza Strip into 620 small, numbered sections, so its residents know where to flee, AP wrote.

– The situation is getting worse every hour. Bombing is intensifying everywhere, including in southern areas such as Khan Younis and even in Rafah, said Richard Peeperkorn.

– Genocide

Israeli military leaders announced on Sunday that they had expanded the war to “all areas” of Gaza, including the southern part of the strip, where 1.8 million war refugees have sought refuge.

Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad on Tuesday accused Israeli forces of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, and said that it could not be legitimized by showing self-defense.

– Self-defense does not apply when it comes to occupation, according to international law, and this does not make the crimes of genocide committed by Israel illegitimate, he said.

The Emir believes that Israeli forces have violated religious, ethical and humanitarian values, and also said that Israel has committed crimes against humanity.

Furthermore, he called on the UN to conduct an international investigation into the “massacres committed by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian people”.

He also asked the UN to force Israel to return to the negotiating table with Hamas, wrote Reuters.

It was Qatar that led negotiations on a temporary ceasefire and prisoner exchange that collapsed on Friday. Al-Thani believes that a temporary ceasefire is not an alternative to a full ceasefire, and believes that Israel must understand that “the period of occupation is over.”

– It is shameful that the international community allowed these heinous activities to continue for almost two months, resulting in innocent civilians, including women and children, being systematically murdered, the emir said.

THIS IS HOW EVERY DAY CLOSES THE WAR

Does Dagbladet take a position on the conflict between Hamas and Israel?

NO. Journalism in Dagbladet must be objective. We strive for balanced coverage in our newsroom where we try to present several sides of a case, whether from Israel, Gaza or the West Bank. Dagbladet also covered this issue in the opinion space. Avisa’s views are expressed in leadership positions. The political editor is responsible for this. We also print expressions of opinion in comments and chronicles. These are clearly marked, and express the personal opinion of the sender. Dagbladet’s views on opinions do not influence our news coverage.

How does Dagbladet work with presence?

Physical presence with its own reporters in war situations is very important for Dagbladet. This gives us the opportunity to talk to direct sources, and convey what we see to readers without intermediaries. Dagbladet has so far reported on the conflict with its own journalists from locations in Israel and the West Bank.

Why is Dagbladet not in Gaza?

The lack of presence in Gaza is a challenge for Norwegian and international media. The border is controlled by authorities on the Israeli and Egyptian sides. They have very strict restrictions on entry and exit.

So how do you uncover stories from Gaza?

Since the outbreak of the war, Dagbladet has worked actively to provide readers with as wide a picture as possible of the case. Since we are not present in Gaza ourselves, we have worked with local journalists and spoken to a number of people living in Gaza, including a number of Norwegian citizens. We also get images, video and information from international news agencies, some of which have journalists on site. In addition, information comes for example from authorities, organizations and individuals on social media and directly to the media.

How does Dagbladet work with war coverage?

In covering the war, Dagbladet used a variety of sources and methods. Providing correct information to our readers is our most important priority. Physical presence at the location, interviews with direct sources, and the use of credible sources are some of the things we strive for in covering this and other cases. Dagbladet employees are also well trained to verify and fact-check content from, among other things, social media. Dagbladet should be open about where the information comes from. We must also write clearly if we are conveying information that we consider relevant, but we cannot confirm all the information. When Dagbladet makes a mistake, we must mark it clearly in the article and enter it in the correction log.

Why do you show such a strong depiction of war?

A strong description of the conflict may be needed to document the facts and what happened. We believe it is important to show the impact of war, for example its impact on civilians. Images are important to our understanding of what is happening. The media’s job is also to convey what actually happens in a war situation, even though for some people this is considered too strong. Dagbladet knows what we publish and why. We don’t want to publish strong impressions just for the sake of showing them. There must be an editorial reason behind it, and we take necessary press ethics considerations, for example towards immediate family. We can get a stronger impression in an article than on the front page of Dagbladet. There we want to mark the article with a warning. This is to show consideration for readers who do not want this broadcast.
