Hamas issued a new threat on Tuesday telling residents of the Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon to evacuate by 5pm local time. This came as rocket sirens were sounding in Tel Aviv and across Israel amidst unrelenting rocket fire from Gaza. Over 4,500 rockets have been fired at Israel since Hamas launched major attacks on Saturday. Meanwhile, Israel warned Hamas has "nowhere to hide" in Gaza as it continues heavy airstrikes, even as the UN called for a humanitarian corridor. With vital supplies cut off, Hamas' latest specific threat against an Israeli city further escalates tensions.
