Although the Palestinian militant group Hamas has agreed to a Qatari-Egyptian ceasefire, Israel has not paid any attention to the proposal. On the contrary, the occupying power has given its final approval to the Gaza occupation plan. As a result, 60,000 more troops will be added to the 20,000 reserve troops.
The reserve army will stand at 80,000. And Israel has planned to occupy Gaza with 120,000 soldiers in the fighting army. They have named the new operation 'Gideon's Chariots B'. In this situation, the situation in Gaza is escalating; although negotiators are continuing to try to bring Israel-Hamas to a war footing.
Al Jazeera reports that the situation in Gaza has become more inhumane. Residents of Deir el-Balah in the valley are spending sleepless nights. Because Israeli drones and warplanes are flying in the sky. Israel is bombing its so-called safe zone, destroying homes and makeshift camps. In the last 24 hours, 56 Palestinians, including 22 aid seekers, have been killed and three have died of hunger. In 22 months, 62,064 have been killed and 156,273 people have been injured.
A Palestinian father in al-Mawasi said he lost his children in the airstrike. Their bodies were mutilated. The intensity of the attacks on Gaza City has increased. Israeli heavy artillery has destroyed homes in the eastern part of the city. Israel is massing troops in Gaza City. More than 450 homes have been destroyed. Residents are fleeing Gaza City to the south. Another resident, Majed al-Mashoukhi, said his entire family, including his daughter, was killed in the attack. "My family is gone. My daughter is gone with her husband and children. They have been wiped out," he said.
The Associated Press reported that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) chief Yeal Zamir is to launch an operation in the most densely populated area of Gaza. About 75 percent of Gaza is now under their control. Human rights groups have warned that most of Gaza's residents are on the verge of being displaced. Even if they flee south to escape Gaza City, there is essentially no safe area. Relatives of Israeli prisoners in Gaza say that Netanyahu is stabbing the hearts of Israeli families and the public by not respecting the ceasefire. An Israeli military official told the AP that airstrikes are underway in the Zeitoun and Jabalia areas of Gaza City.
