The Israeli army has fired back in response to rocket fire from Syria and Lebanon. First, five rockets were fired in Syria and fell in open areas in Israel, the Israeli army said. Our own fighter planes then attacked the launch sites.
On Israel’s northern border, a warplane also hit the “terrorist infrastructure” of the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon. From there, rockets were fired toward a northern Israeli settlement on Monday, the report said. This increases the risk of the conflict spreading. Since the start of the Gaza war on October 7, the security situation in the region has been very tense.
Eyewitnesses reported on Tuesday renewed nighttime rocket attacks by Israel on the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip and shelling of the Jabalia refugee camp in the north. Fighting was also reported in refugee camps in the center of the Gaza Strip and in Khan Younis in the south (see video above).
Preparing for a long war
As reported, Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari announced on Sunday evening that the army was preparing for a long war against Hamas that would last well into 2024. That’s why some of the 30,000 reservists would take a break from the fighting and return to their families and work this week. This allows them to gather strength and help the Israeli economy at the same time.
Representatives of Qatar and Egypt are now trying to broker a new ceasefire and the release of more hostages. Hamas reportedly submitted a proposal for a new hostage exchange on Sunday. This provides for three phases, each with a break in combat of more than a month. Israeli troops must withdraw there. In return, Hamas would release some hostages. According to the plan, the final phase would herald the end of the war. The Israeli War Cabinet reportedly discussed the proposal but rejected it as unacceptable. Representatives of Qatar and Egypt had already negotiated a one-week ceasefire between Israel and Hamas at the end of November.
