Israel dates back to the seizure of “large areas” of Gaza, while the war with Hamas renews hundreds of Palestinians

Jerusalem Israel Defense Minister Katz said in a written statement on Wednesday that the renewed military attack in Israel in the Gaza Strip “is expanding to crushing and cleaning the militants and seizing” large areas that will be added to the security areas in the state of Israel. ” War with Hamas On October 7, the groups ignited a terrorist attack.

Israel says that the buffer zone is necessary for its security, but the Palestinians view it as a seizure of the land that shrinks narrow coastal lands, having about two million people.

Katz did not specify the Gaza fields that will be seized in the expanded operation, which he said includes “intensive evacuation” of the population from the fighting areas. His statement came after the Israeli army ordered all civilians to evacuate the southern city of Rafah and the nearby areas – which came about two weeks after Israel abandoned a ceasefire by the United States, Qatar and Egypt and resumed its bombing on Palestinian soil.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel aims to maintain open, but not specified security control, as soon as it achieved its goal in crushing Hamas.

“The only way to end the war”?

Katz called on Gaza residents to “expel Hamas and return all hostages.” Hamas, a terrorist organization from the United States and the Israeli designed, is still carrying 59 prisoners, of whom 24 are still alive, after most of the rest were released into ceasefire agreements or other deals.

“This is the only way to end the war,” Katz said.

However, the hostage family forum, which represents the families of most of the prisoners, has long pushed to end the war and bring their loved ones home, however. The forum issued a statement saying that the families “were terrified of waking up this morning to announce the Minister of Defense on the expansion of military operations in Gaza.”

The group said that the Israeli government “is committed to liberating all the 59 hostages of Hamas families – to follow up on every possible channel to apply in a deal to release them,” and stressed that every day that passes exposes the lives of their loved ones in a greater danger.

“Their life is more suspended and more Working details continue to appear The forum, which called for the Trump administration and other mediators to pressure Hamas to release the hostages: “About the horrific conditions that are kept – with chains, abuse and basis, and in urgent need of medical attention,” said the forum, which called for the Trump administration and other brokers to pressure Hamas to release the hostages.

The group said: “Our top priority must be an immediate deal to return all hostages home – living for rehabilitation and those who were killed for the appropriate burial – and end this war.”

Death and displacement in Gaza 16 days after Israel resumed the war

Israel continued to target the Gaza Strip 16 days after abandoning the ceasefire, as the air strikes were killed overnightly in the southern city of Khan Yunis. Nasser Hospital officials said that the bodies of 12 people were killed in a night air strike that was brought to the hospital, including five women, one of them pregnant, and two children. Officials at the European Gaza Hospital said they had received five bodies of people who were killed in separate air strikes.

The war ignited the Hamas -led terrorist attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and saw 251 others returning to Gaza.

The revenge war of Israel in Gaza has killed more than 50,400 Palestinians, including at least 1066 people since the ceasefire collapsed on March 18, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in Gaza, which does not differentiate between civil and fighting losses.

Israel claims to have killed about 20,000 gunmen in Gaza, but it has not provided evidence.

As of March 23, more than 140,000 people have been displaced again since the end of the ceasefire, according to the latest United Nations – it is estimated that tens of thousands have fled under eviction orders last week. Every time families moved during the war, they had to leave the property behind them and start zero, and find food, water and shelter. Now, with no fuel due to the Israeli siege, transport has become more difficult, so many of them flee almost nothing.

“With every displacement, we were tortured a thousand times,” said former university professor Ihab Suleiman, who talked about having to flee eight times during the war with this family.

On Monday, Hanadi Dahoud said she was struggling to find the basics.

“Where do we go?” She said. “We just want to live. We are tired. There are long lines waiting for kitchens and charitable kitchens.”

UN spokesman Stefan Dujarrik said on Tuesday that countless humanitarian relief agencies were “at the tail of our supplies”, forcing the World Food Program to close all 25 informants in Gaza due to the lack of flour and cooking fuel.

“The World Food Program does not close its bakeries for fun,” said Dujarrick.

Kojat, the Israeli military body responsible for civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, said on Tuesday that nearly 450,000 tons of aid entered Gaza during the ceasefire. At least Cat Cats claimed some aid from the United Nations and its humanitarian partners that were transferred to Hamas.

Dujarrick refused to say: “The United Nations kept a series of nursery, and a series of very good custody, for all this aid.”
