Israel announces new corridors

Meanwhile, Israel says it has deployed forces in a new security corridor throughout southern Gaza. Netanyahu announced the new Mourge Corridor on Saturday and suggested that it would cut the southern city of Rafiha, which asked Israel from the rest of Gaza.

A military statement said on Saturday that the forces were deployed with the thirty -sixth division in the corridor.

Hamas says that the situation is “very dangerous” for the hostages

Hamas, which was long appointed a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States even before the brutal attack was carried out on October 7, 2023 on Israel that ignited The war in GazaHe said on Friday that Israel’s continued attack in Gaza was a “very dangerous” situation for the hostages who were still being held there. She warned that half of the living prisoners were in the areas where the Israeli army requested evacuation operations.

“Half of the living Israeli (the hostages) are located in the areas where the Israeli occupation army was evacuated in recent days,” Abu Obida, a spokesman for the Hamas wing, said in a statement. “We decided not to transfer these (hostages) … but (this situation) is very dangerous to their lives.”

Hamas says it will issue only 59 hostages – 24 of them alive – in exchange for launching more Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire and Israeli clouds from Gaza. The group rejected the demands that it put its arms or leave the region.

Israel has released the sweeping evacuation orders of parts of Northern Gaza before the expected expansions of its terrestrial operations. The United Nations Humanitarian Office said that about 280,000 Palestinians have been displaced since Israel suddenly ended the ceasefire with Hamas last month, in which the United States, Egypt and Qatar mediated.

To pressure Hamas, Israel imposed Siege On food, fuel and humanitarian aid that left civilians facing a severe shortage with a decrease in supplies – a tactic says rights groups is a war crime. Israel said earlier this week that a sufficient amount of food entered Gaza during a six -week truce to keep nearly two million Palestinians in the region for a long time.

The war began when gunmen led by Hamas, southern Israel, attacked on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took 251 hostages, most of whom have been released since the ceasefire agreements and other deals. Israel saved eight live hostages and regained dozens of bodies.

More than 50,000 Palestinians were killed in Gaza as part of the Israeli attack, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, which does not say whether these dead were civilians or fighters. The ministry says that more than half of the dead were women and children. Israel says it has killed about 20,000 fighters, without providing evidence.
