Israel intensifies its offensive in Ciudad de Gaza before the invasion of its territory
Israeli troops have launched successive attacks against different neighborhoods of Ciudad de Gaza during the last hours, especially in the eastern and north part. This occurs after Wednesday night, the military spokesman Effie Defrin confirmed that the army had already started the second phase of the operation cars of Gideon 2, with which he intends to invade the largest municipality in the enclave.
The army ensures that Ciudad de Gaza is “the government and military bastion of the Hamas terrorist organization” and warns that he is preparing to “deepen the damage to that infrastructure above and below the earth, cutting the dependence of the population with respect to Hamas.”
The troops, according to military communiqués, already “control” some parts of the city’s periphery, without specifying which ones, and are present in the Zeitoun neighborhood, the largest in the city.
The districts where Israel intends to operate house tens of thousands of civilians who are part of the small percentage of the entire Gazati population that still stays in their homes, although these may be damaged. More to the west, in the maritime coast of the city, hundreds of thousands of people in tents and other inappropriate shelters are concentrated.
The Defrin spokesman ensures that the Army carries out measures to “minimize the damage” to the civilian population, such as warning that they must evacuate the area “due to their own protection to distance themselves from the fighting”, but that clashes with the testimonies that arise from those neighborhoods.
On Wednesday morning, courier groups made up of journalists and Gazati activists have shared images from Zeitoun, the neighborhood where Israel says to have a presence, of a injured girl being transported by two men on foot before the inability of the ambulances to reach the area.
In Sheikh Radwan, a La Norte neighborhood of the city, the night bombardment is reported with a suicide drone against an apartment, causing a deadly victim. In that same district, an attack on Wednesday pointed against a tent that served as a point to recharge devices. He left moments of collective panic, with three fatalities, some bodies shattered by the ground, and several seriously injured.
