Bloody military operation: 89 dead in Gaza - Israel intensifies attacks!

The Israeli army has started a comprehensive military mission in the city of Gaza, as a spokesman for Hamas reports. This offensive is called "aggressive" and focuses primarily on the Zeytoun district and the area south of Tal al-Hawa. According to medical institutions, a total of 89 Palestinians died in the recent attacks in the Gaza Strip, with about half of the deaths registered in the city of Gaza. In addition, seven people were killed at a relief goods distribution center northwest of Gaza and in a further incident there were seven people during an air raid on their tent in the city of Gaza, including five children. A drone attack in the north of the Gaza Strip called for another victim. Another five people died of Israeli shelling, while they were waiting for relief goods south of Wadi Gaza, so reports OE24 .

The intensity of the air strikes has aroused concern about an upcoming soil offensive. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called up the residents of the coastal strip to leave the area, while Egyptian negotiators continue to negotiate with Hamas via a possible ceasefire. A spokesman for the Israeli army announced that there was no information about his own injuries in the Netzarim corridor. The Israeli security cabinet has also approved an expansion of military operation in the Gaza Strip to take control of the city of Gaza. Chief General Eyal Zamir warned in a meeting in which representatives of the domestic secret service Shin Bet were also present, against the risks of the plan that could endanger both soldiers and hostages.

escalation and humanitarian crisis

In the night hours, massive destinations were again bombarded in the Gaza Strip, which reports of the health authority controlled by the Hamas have led to over 400 fatalities and hundreds of injuries. There are many of the women and minors killed. The Palestinians who had returned during a ceasefire were asked to leave the region again. This ceasefire had been agreed in mid -January with the mediation of Egypt, Qatar and the United States, but negotiations over a second phase. In view of this escalation, the auxiliary deliveries that had previously been resumed were hired by Israel, which contributed to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. According to reports, the population suffers from an extreme lack of food, water, medication and electricity, and there is a threat of a famine, such as SRF

The situation is complicated by internal political dynamics in Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu is exposed to domestic pressure because right -wing extremist coalition partners require a comprehensive military destruction of Hamas. Some of these partners have returned to the coalition after the latest offensive, which Netanyahu secures a majority in the event of upcoming budgetary votes. In the Israeli population, however, there is resentment about Netanyahu, especially with regard to the hostage frames and its personnel policy decisions.

international reactions

The international community continues to observe the situation carefully. Iran has given the Huthi-Miliz in Yemen to reintroduce its attacks on ships in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden. In this context, the United States bombarded the Huthi objectives, and President Trump threatened Iran consequences. The ceasefire between Israel and the Hisbollah in Lebanon could also be at risk from the continued escalation.

Humanitarian aid for the civilian population in the Gaza Strip is intensified by organizations such as the lucky chain. They are urgently looking for donations to continue to help the affected people and to cover the basic needs that are at risk through the continuing conflicts.
