Israel invites 60,000 reserve soldiers before the Gaza City attack

The Israeli army says it calls for about 60,000 reserve soldiers before a planned attack to capture and occupy all Gaza City.

A military official said that the reserve soldiers would inform the duty in September and that most of the forces that were filled for the attack will be employees of active service.

They added that the forces were already operating in the Zeitoun and JABALIA regions as part of the preparations for the plan, which were approved by the Defense Minister of Israel Katz on Tuesday and will be placed in the security cabinet later this week.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza City are expected to be asked to evacuate and go to shelters in southern Gaza.

Several allies of Israel condemned this plan, with French President Emmanuel Macron warning on Wednesday that “it can only lead to a disaster for all of the peoples and dangers that flood the entire region in a cycle of permanent war.”

Meanwhile, the ICRC (ICRC) has said for further displacement and intensification of hostilities, “risk of a catastrophic situation already” for 2.1 million people in Gaza.

The government of Israel announced its intention to overcome the entire Gaza Strip after indirect talks with Hamas in the ceasefire and a mortgage that disrupted last month.

The mediators in Qatar and Egypt are trying to secure an agreement before the attack begins and made a new proposal for eighty for 60 days and at all from about half of the 50 hostages in Gaza, Hamas said it accepted on Monday.

Israel has not yet provided an official response, but on Tuesday, Israeli officials insisted that they would not accept a partial deal and asked a comprehensive that would see all the hostages issued. Only 20 of them are believed to be alive.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that the orders of the summons of 60,000 reserve soldiers were issued on Wednesday as part of the preparations for the “next stage of Gideon operation vehicles” – the ground attack that was launched in May and witnessed the control of at least 75 % of Gaza.

In addition, 20,000 reserve soldiers who have already called will receive a notice that extends their current orders.

The military official said that senior leaders had agreed to the plan for what they described as “a gradual and accurate process and targeting in and around Gaza City,” with the forces entering some areas where they did not go previously.

The official added that five sections are expected to participate in the attack.

“Once the operation is completed, Gaza will change its face and will not look as happened in the past,” Haritz newspaper quoted Defense Minister Katz as saying on Tuesday.

According to what was reported, he agreed to the “absorbing” plan of the residents of Gaza City in the south of the region, including the coastal area of Maas, where the military official said that field hospitals will be established.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the army’s goals are to secure the launch of all hostages that Hamas maintains and “complete the defeat” of the Palestinian armed group.

The Israeli Defense Army also announced on Wednesday that the Gevati Brigade had resumed operations in the northern town of Gabalia and on the outskirts of Gaza City, where it said that it was “dismantling the military infrastructure above the ground and bordering terrorists, and promoting operational control.”

She said that civilians were informed of the move south for their safety to “alleviate the risk of damage.”

A spokesman for the Civil Defense Agency in Gaza in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, told Agence France Presse on Tuesday that the situation was “very dangerous and unbearable” in olive neighborhoods and Sabra in the city, where he said, “The bombing continues intermittently.”

The agency stated that Israeli and fire strikes killed 21 people across the region on Wednesday. Among them are three children and their parents in the Badr area in the Chati refugee camp, west of Gaza City, which was bombed.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Defense Army said that 15 Palestinian fighters tried to infiltrate one of its positions in the southern city of Khan Yunis on Wednesday. The Israeli Defense Army said that one of the Israeli soldiers was seriously injured and 10 of the attackers were killed during the accident. The Hamas military wing said he attacked this position and that at least one fighter carried out a suicide bombing.

United Nations and non -governmental organizations working in Gaza have warned of the humanitarian influence of a new Israeli attack.

“The Israeli plan to intensify military operations in Gaza City will have a terrible human impact on people who have already exhausted, malnutrition, density, displaced, and deprivation of the basics necessary to survive,” they said in a joint statement on Monday.

They added: “Forcing hundreds of thousands to move in the south is a recipe for more disasters and can rise to forced transport.” The forced transition of civilian residents is a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

They also said that the southern regions, where the displaced residents were expected to move “are crowded and not equipped to maintain the survival of people on a large scale.”

The ICRC said on Wednesday that the intensification of military operations threatened “an irreversible humanitarian crisis” and that the hostage of the hostages was also at risk. It is believed that some of them are held in Gaza City.

The United Nations Human Rights Office said that hundreds of families have already been forced to flee from the East and South Gaza City over the past few days, while others have been trapped, completely cut off from food, water and medical supplies.

He also pointed out that Israel was telling the displaced Palestinians of moving to Maas, although it continued to carry out fatal strikes there.

Meanwhile, the World Food Program warned that malnutrition in Gaza has through emergency levels and was “rising”, as more children and mothers showed severe symptoms. The United Nations Agency said it was increasing treatment, but “it needs to be superior to the response.”

The Hamas -running Ministry of Health in Gaza said that three other people passed away as a result of malnutrition over the past 24 hours, which raised the total number of such deaths from the beginning of the war to 269, including 112 children.

The United Nations said it needs unusual human arrival throughout Gaza, with aid entered widely through all possible crossings. She said that the supplies received are still far from sufficient because of Israeli restrictions.

The Israeli military body, which controls the entry of aid to Gaza, said in response to a statement of the World Food Program that hundreds of loads of supplies are delivered daily and that food prices “decrease”. She previously accused the Ministry of Health, which has been funded by deaths from the pre -existing medical conditions as malnutrition.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas -led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others took hostage.

At least 62,122 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Ministry of Health in the region. The ministry’s figures were transferred by the United Nations and others as a more reliable source of statistics available to the victims.
