The Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, has threatened this Friday with destroying the city of Gaza If Hamas does not accept Israeli conditions for a high fire agreement.
“Yesterday we approve to defeat Hamas in Gaza, with intense fire, evacuation of residents and maneuvers,” Katz said in a message in X. In Gaza City there are about one million Palestinians, including sick and malnourished children.
And about Hamas’s possible refusal to comply with a favorable agreement to Israel (who has not yet responded to the last proposal), Katz warned that “if they do not agree, Gaza, the capital of Hamas, will become Rafah and Beit Hanun. As I promised, it will be.”
As Efe recalls, both Rafah’s southern city and Beit Hanoun (north of Gaza City) have been population emptied and destroyed by Israeli bombingsexplosions, systematic demolitions and the use of excavators.
Katz also insisted that “soon the doors of hell will open” about Hamas in Gaza “until they accept Israel’s conditions to end the war, the main one of which is the liberation of all hostages and their disarmament.”
Netanyahu’s double target
This Thursday, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamín Netanyahu, announced that he was going to give both green light, and to resume negotiations with Hamas to return to all hostages.
Some relatives of the still 50 captives are going to protest this afternoon in front of the president’s residence in Jerusalem, since they require them to accept the agreement on the table and stop negotiations.
Large -scale operation against Gaza City It could start in a matter of days. The Israeli army has begun to contact medical staff and international organizations in the north of the Strip to move to the south, in addition to having issued 60,000 orders of enlistment to reservists.
The bombings follow
According to the aforementioned agency, the Israeli army has killed at least 37 Palestinians throughout the strip, mostly in Gaza City. According to data provided by medical sources, since midnight, at least 19 people have been killed in the city of Gaza; 12 of them in an Israeli artillery attack against the AMR Ibn al As and its surroundings, according to local sources.
In the south, in Jan Yunis, five people died at the Naser hospital when the Israeli forces opened fire against those who await the distribution of humanitarian aid, in a gaza ravaged by malnutrition and famine due to the Israeli blockade of supplies.
Israel continues to bombard this Friday with the east and south of the city of Gaza, in particular the Zeitún neighborhood.
