Israeli cabinet has approved an extension of the offensive to Gaza

The cabinet of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has approved the gradual extension of the offensive against the Palestinian militant group of Hamas in Gaza, the Israeli public television Kan announced on Monday, inviting the sources to be introduced to the details. The Israeli army has already begun to issue dozens of calls to reserves, seeking to expand the offensive in Gaza, the Mayor of the Army-Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir said in a statement on Sunday. In a video posted on XU on Sunday, a few hours after the rocket launched from Yemen fell past the Ben Gurion Israeli Airport, Netanyahu convened a security cabinet to consider the « next phase » of the war in Gaza.

« We increase the pressure with the aim of returning our people (hostages) and the defeat of the Hamas, » Zamir told the soldiers, according to the army statement.

In March, Israel continued the land attacks in Gaza, interrupting the truce he supported by the United States, which had been stopped for two months.

The safety cabinet has approved a new plan to distribute help in Gaza, the Israeli website Ynet reported on Monday, but it is unknown when the supplies will be released in the enclave.

Israel controls about a third of Gaza territory and faces the growing international pressure to abolish the blockade of help, which he imposed in March.

For a full two months, she has blocked the entry of food supplies, fuel and medical supplies in Gaza.

Israel defended the blockade, claiming that Hamas seized the help intended for civilians and kept it for its fighters or sold it, which Hamas denied it.

The director of the Emergency Cases Program for the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday that the minds and bodies of children in Gaza were broken after two months of assistance and continuation of the attack.

The current level of malnutrition causes collapse of immunity, Ryan said, warning that cases of pneumonia and meningitis in women and children could increase.

More than 3,500 children under the age of five are facing « the immediate death of hunger », and about 290,000 are « on the verge of death » while Israel continues to prevent food from entering, nutritional supplements and all forms of humanitarian aid, medical sources in the enclave said.
