Israel says it has started a military operation to control Gaza City

The Israeli army began a planned operation to seize Gaza City, the official spokesman for the Israeli military. Evie Defern said on Wednesday.

After a clash with Hamas near Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday, he said: “We will deepen the attack on Hamas in Gaza City, a stronghold of government and military terrorism of the terrorist organization.”

Davirin said that the forces had already begun to rotate the outskirts of Gaza City and that Hamas has now become a guerrilla war force “that was beaten and bruised.”

He said, referring to the Israeli defense forces: “We have started the initial operations and the early stages of the attack on Gaza City, and the Israeli Defense Forces are now retaining the Busts of Gaza City.”

The Israeli army summoned tens of thousands of reserve soldiers on Wednesday in preparation for the expected attack on Gaza City, as the Israeli government considered a new suggestion to the ceasefire after nearly two years of war.

The summons references that Israel pressures in its plan to seize the largest urban center in Gaza, despite international criticism of a process that is likely to force many Palestinians.

The Israeli army summoned tens of thousands of reserve soldiers in preparation for the expected attack on Gaza City, where the Israeli government considered a new suggestion to a ceasefire after nearly two years of war.

One of the military officials said earlier on Wednesday that the reserve soldiers will not submit a report on the duty until September, a break that gives mediators some time to bridge the gaps between Hamas and the Israeli government because of the truce conditions.

But after the Israeli forces clashed with the Hamas fighters in the Palestinian enclave on Wednesday, the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the Israeli leader presented the schedule of their control over Stronggolds and the group’s defeat.

In a statement regarding the service of the tarzer messages, Hamas accused Netanyahu of obstructing the ceasefire deal in favor of continuing a “brutal war against innocent civilians in Gaza City.”

“Netanyahu ignored the proposal of the mediators … proves that it is a real obstacle to any agreement.”

On Wednesday, the Israeli forces clashed with more than 15 Hamas militants who left the tunnel shafts and attacked fire rockets and anti -tank missiles near Khan Yunis, south of Gaza City, who hit a severe soldier and wounded others.

In a statement, Hamas in Al -Qassam confirmed a raid on Israeli forces, southeast of Khan Yunis, and involved them in the void. She said that one of the fighters blew himself up among the soldiers, causing losses during the attack, which lasted for several hours.

The war broke out in Gaza after about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken into account during an attack led by Hamas in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, according to the Israeli. More than 61,000 Palestinians were killed in Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, according to local health officials, and a lot of pocket was destroyed.
