 Germany and Austria to tap oil reserves after 400 million barrels requested  Germany and Austria announced they are releasing portions of their oil reserves in response to an International Energy Agency request for member nations to collectively release 400 million barrels to help ease rising energy prices linked to the Iran conflict. Japan also said it will begin releasing part of its reserves starting Monday. The move marks one of the largest coordinated releases of emergency oil stocks in history. The previous record came in 2022, when IEA members released 182.7 million barrels following the energy disruptions caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

THE ISRAEL ARMY IS NOW "IN ALL AREAS OF GAZA" AS NEW EVACUATIONS ARE ORDERED.(PHOTO).


The Israeli military says it's expanding its ground operation into "all areas" of the Gaza Strip following the resumption of fighting on Friday. It has this morning posted on social media a fresh order for people to evacuate about 20 areas of the Palestinian enclave

The Israeli military has said civilians in Gaza should not use a section of the key north-south Salah al-Din Road.


The section, to the north-east of the city of Khan Younis, is highlighted on a map posted on social media by IDF Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adree.


He says the area is now a battlefield and is extremely dangerous.


He says the IDF will allow civilians to move southwards from areas to the north of Khan Younis by using the coastal road.


As we reported earlier, the IDF has urged people in a large swathe of the Khan Younis area to head south today.


As a reminder, in the earlier part of the war, Israel told Gazans to evacuate from northern Gaza to Khan Younis for their own safety.

Hamas in Lebanon has issued a statement calling for young Palestinians to enlist and join the establishment of the “vanguards of Al-Aqsa Flood”, a reference to the 7 October attacks.


The statement calls for the continuation of what they claimed was "achieved" in the attacks, and a victory for the Palestinian people.


Hamas has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK, US and European Union. It killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, when it attacked southern Israel on 7 October and took 240 people hostage - some of whom have since been released.
