The Israeli army begins a new ground operation in Gaza, where at least 38 were killed in the latest strikes

The Israeli army said on Wednesday that its forces resumed the ground operations in the Gaza Strip in the center and south of Gaza, on the second day of the air strikes, killing at least 38 Palestinians, according to local health workers.

Renewed Israeli operations come a day after more than 400 Palestinians have been killed in air strikes in one of the bloodiest episodes since the beginning of the conflict, which led to a cease -fire mostly since January.

The Israeli army said that its operations extended its control over the Netzarim corridor, which drinks Gaza, and was a “focused” maneuver aimed at establishing a partial buffer zone between the north and the south of the pocket.

Hamas described that the earth moved a “new and dangerous violation” of the ceasefire deal, in a statement on Wednesday.

The move comes at a time when the United Nations said to foreign employees and five other workers were injured in an Israeli air strike on Wednesday at the United Nations headquarters site in the center of Gaza City.

“Israel knew this is a front general, and that people were living, staying and working there, it is a compound. It is a very well -known place,” said Jorge Morera Da Silva, Executive Director of the United Nations Project Services Office.

He told a press conference in Brussels that an explosive device was dropped or released in the building.

“This was not an accident,” he said. “What is happening in Gaza is unreasonable.”

Dr. Raid Hussein, Director of Emergency Services and Ambulance Predictions at Al -Aqdah Hospital in the city of Deir Al -Bila in central Gaza, called for the protection of international organizations, including the United Nations.

“(The Israeli army) bombed a residential area. (The victims) are the foreigners who entered the Gaza Strip,” Hussein said to the independent video journalist for CBC News Mohamd El Saif.

The Israeli army denied that it struck the United Nations complex in the monastery of Al -Asr. She said that she struck the Hamas site in northern Gaza, where she discovered preparations for fire on Israeli lands, but she had not provided any evidence.

Israel warned that the attack was “just the beginning.”

Residents were forced to evacuate homes in the north, south

On Wednesday, the Israeli army dropped leaflets in the northern and southern Gaza Strip, and the residents ordered the evacuation of their homes, warning that they were in “dangerous combat areas”.

Defense Minister Israel Katz has released a video warning against Gaza residents that the evacuation of the combat areas will start soon.

He said that the air strikes were “only the first step” and that if the hostages were not released, “Israel will be spent with a force that it has not seen yet.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to resume the bombing has sparked protests in Israel, where 59 hostages are still held in Gaza, where 24 of them are believed to be alive.

A coalition of hostages and demonstrators against Netanyahu’s movements against the judiciary and other parts of the security establishment have accused them and accused the prime minister of war for political goals.

Netanyahu said on Tuesday that he had ordered the strikes because Hamas rejected proposals to secure an extension of the ceasefire until April.

Hamas, who is still carrying 59 out of about 250 Israeli hostages that the group that seized it on October 7, 2023, says an attack across the border, accused Israel of the efforts of the mediators to negotiate a permanent deal to end the fighting.

Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif Al -Qanwa told Reuters that the closure of Salah al -Din Road was a “complete coup” against the ceasefire and the tightening of the siege on Gaza.

He renewed his group’s interest in concluding the trilogy ceasefire agreement, and will be welcomed by any proposal “as long as it depends on the release of negotiations on the second stage and the full end of the war in Gaza.”

The Arab plan is in danger

Arab countries have developed a peace and reconstruction plan in Gaza after a proposal from US President Donald Trump to resettle the Palestinians and turn them into “Riviera” in the Middle East that angered in the region. However, the plan did not gain traction.

Israel and the Western authorities do not want the Palestinian Islamic Group to play Hamas any role in the pocket when the war ends. Israel has pledged to crushed Hamas, but the Palestinian militant group is still the dominant force in Gaza.

In the latest violence, local health workers said that an Israeli air strike killed four people and wounded 10 others in a house in the town of Beit Hannon in the northern Gaza, where the army renewed the eviction orders earlier on Wednesday.

In Beit Lahia, a new Israeli air strike killed 14 people in the mourning tent, the paramedics said.

The Israeli naval ships also attacked many boats, which said Israel, which intends to carry out “terrorist” acts by Hamas and Islamic jihad groups. The Palestinians said that an Israeli drone plane fired many fishing boats on the beach of Gaza City, which led to the burning of many of them.

Hamas officials said they were keen to conclude a three -phase ceasefire deal as they had occurred.

Israel and enthusiasm accuse each other of violating the truce, which provided a break of the 2.3 million people of Gaza after 17 months of war – which reduces the pocket to the rubble and the displacement of the majority of its population several times.

Gunmen led by Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people and destroying the reputation of Israel as invincible in an enemy area. The subsequent Israeli campaign in Gaza says more than 49,000 people, as the Palestinian health authorities say, and has caused a humanitarian crisis with a lack of food, fuel and water.
