Israel strives for complete control over the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday in a video message that was distributed by the Messenger Service Telegram. The goal is therefore to prevent Islamic Hamas from looting aid supplies.
“We will take control of all areas of the Gaza Strip,” says Netanyahu. In the beginning he did not give any further details about the planned check. After a cabinet meeting at the beginning of May, government circles had already confirmed that plans had been approved for constant control. According to media reports, they also include the relocation of Palestinian citizens from the north to the south of the coastal strip.
The hint of a permanent line -up caused internationally sharp criticism. Observers warn about sharpening the humanitarian crisis and the further destabilization of the region. Israel had withdrawn from the Gaza Strip in 2005.
Help from deliveries despite the offensive
Despite the military escalation, Netanyahu announced that auxiliary resources should be in the Gaza Strip again. This is necessary to guarantee international support and to prevent famine. When the deliveries begun remained unclear. Aid organizations have been warning a humanitarian catastrophe for weeks for the approximately 2.4 million people in the Gaza Strip.
Attacks continue – reports about special use
On Monday, according to the Palestinian authorities, at least 22 people were killed in renewed Israeli air strikes. The aim of the attacks was, among other things, the cities of Khan Younis, Jabalia and Gaza City. In Khan Younis there is also a targeted use of Israeli special forces. A commander was killed with the Hamas Allied Al Nasser-Salah-Al-Din Brigades. The Israeli army is currently investigating the reports.
Since Sunday, Israel has been carrying out “extensive soil operations” in the Gaza Strip. The offensive takes place after a two -month fire break. Since the beginning of March, Israel had also blocked the import of humanitarian aid to put pressure on Hamas, who will keep dozens of Israeli hostages.
Conflict lasts
The war in the Gaza Strip has been going on for more than seven months. He was activated by the great attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, in which, according to Israeli information, around 1200 people were killed and 251 was delayed as hostages.
Since then, Israel has attacked destinations in the Gaza Strip with mass military violence. According to the Ministry of Health Checked by De Hamas, which cannot be controlled independently, more than 53,000 people have died.
