Israeli army: We started a new great offensive in Gaza …

The Israeli army (IDF) announced on Friday night that it had started a new great offensive in Gaza’s belt. « The IDF has started extensive attacks and hull mobilization over the past day to achieve operational control in the Gaza areas, » the army states in the revelation on XU.

« It is part of the preparations for expansion of operations and fulfillment of the goals of the war, including the release of hostages and dismantling the Hamas terrorist organization. »

Israeli media reported that the expansion of operations will begin after the end of the American President’s journey Donald Trump In the region of the Persian Gulf, if a new gaza agreement is not reached by then. Trump has since completed his multi -day trip, and the new deal is still not in sight.

On Friday, the WAFA news agency reported that at least 100 people had been killed in the northern Gaza zone after several Israeli air attacks since Thursday night, while Hamas’s health administration states that 93 people have been killed and more than 200 injured. The figures do not distinguish between civilian and military victims, and they cannot be checked independently.

For two months, the Israeli government has been blocking all assistance to this territory, while international humanitarian organizations have warned of catastrophic humanitarian conditions. According to the Hamas Health Administration, nearly 53,000 Palestinians were killed in Gaza’s belt since the beginning of the war with Israel more than a year and a half ago.

The war was caused by the attack of Hamas and other extremists on the Israeli community near Gaza on October 7, 2023, when about 1200 people were killed and more than 250 were taken hostages.
