Stepping out of the Israeli armoured personnel carrier, the sound of gunfire was immediate. So too was evidence of the destruction from four weeks of war inside Gaza. Journalists living in the Palestinian territory have been reporting on the ground from the beginning, but this is the first time Israel has allowed media to enter

The average person in Gaza is living on two pieces of bread per day – and the territory is a “scene of death and destruction”, the UN has said.

Footage seen by Sky News shows injured and dead people outside the Shifa hospital in northern Gaza. The video also shows a damaged ambulance outside the hospital, which is the largest medical

One of the first Britons to escape Gaza has told Sky News of the “chaos” he faced while trying to escape – and his “heavy heart” for those left behind.

Hamas has released footage purportedly showing its fighters clashing with Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip. Palestinian militants can be seen apparently climbing out of an underground tunnel and firing what appears to be grenade launchers, as Israel‘s days-long ground offensive continues deeper into the besieged territory in its attempt to “wipe out” Hamas. An

The first British nationals have left Gaza and crossed the Rafah border into Egypt, the Foreign Office has said. UK teams are on the ground providing assistance, but the Foreign Office did not specify how many Britons had crossed the border.

“I feel betrayed by the British.” Once part of an elite Afghan special forces unit, Shaheen and his two brothers spent years fighting side-by-side with UK commandos. But when Kabul fell to the Taliban in the chaos of August 2021, so many of his comrades were left behind. His brother Qahraman was hunted down and

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and the Israeli government have possibly the most formidable public relations operations in the world. They’re used to being criticised and are adept at getting on the front foot with their messaging, where other nations would simply flounder with mixed messages, and a lack of joined-up thinking. In Israel, their

Israel’s military says it was targeting a Hamas commander in a strike on a refugee camp in Gaza in which dozens of people are believed to have died.

We watched the latest feed of pictures and interviews sent to us in southern Israel by our Sky News colleagues in Gaza. We are only a few miles apart but we could be on different continents. The Sky News team and other journalists who live in Gaza are our eyes and ears to what is happening

I’ve covered many of the Israeli incursions into Gaza over the years, mainly, it has to be said, from inside the narrow enclave.  From there I barely glimpsed at an Israeli soldier as they rarely came with intent to move into the main urban areas. That has changed. Now, from over the border in Israel,

Hundreds of people including young children and babies line the corridors of a Gaza City hospital, which the Israeli authorities have ordered to evacuate, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS).

In 1989 many of us thought it was all over, bar the shouting. The Cold War was over. The Berlin Wall fell. That summer, the American political scientist Francis Fukuyama published his celebrated essay The End Of History? postulating: “What we may be witnessing is not just the end of the Cold War, or the
