Israeli forces have surrounded Gaza city and pressing forward despite international calls for ceasefire.

The city in the north of the Gaza Strip has become focus of attack for Israel, which has told civilians to flee to the south.

Meanwhile, Israel continued deadly air attacks on Gaza early this morning even as the number of people martyred in the Palestinian enclave rises to at least 9,061.

Bahrain has recalled its Ambassador to Israel and suspended economic ties with Tel Aviv.

A statement published on the Bahraini parliament website said  the decision to recall its envoy and suspend economic relations is based on the kingdom’s solid and historical stance that supports the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people.
