Israel's military intensifies attacks in the Gaza Strip: civilians in danger!

in the Gaza Strip and in the West Bank, the conflicts are also tipped. While the Israeli army in the north of the Gaza Strip continues to lead strong air strikes against Hamas, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported tragic victims: at least 15 people, including children, were killed in a bombal. According to the Israeli army military sources, Hamas fighters have been targeted, with military lawyer Jifat Tomer-Jeruschalmi warned that the number of civilians could be underestimated in these missions. This comes at a time when Hamas and the Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas, led by the Fatah, are under pressure, not only in their power struggle, but also due to the high number of civilian victims, which has been over 45,500 since the start of the increased conflict. However, these figures are controversial and cannot be confirmed independently, as Kleine Zeitung reported.

growing tensions in West Bank

The disturbing situation continues to grow in the West Bank; Since October 7, over 130 Palestinians have died through the clashes with the Israeli army and radical settlers. The Palestinian Authority is increasingly criticizing because its inability to protect the civilian population increases people's distrust. Thousands demonstrated against the Israeli military campaigns, and the Palestinian autonomy authority prohibited the reporting of the Arab TV station Al-Jazeera in West Bank, which further heated up the tensions. The financial situation of the PA is also worrying, since Israel has temporarily stopped its tax payments for the Hamas terror, such as Zeit Online reported.

The holistic loss of control of the Palestinian leadership, especially abassment ‘Fatah and the increasing Hamas, could continue to destabilize the region. Analysts warn that Hamas tries to orchest attacks in West Bank, while the local population does not seem to be willing to participate in acts of violence despite growing dissatisfaction. The tense situation could lead to an equally escalating conflict in the West Bank in the near future, in particular the number of civilian victims in the Gaza Strip should continue to increase.
