Israel launches a large offensive as Gaza rescuers claim

The Israeli military declared the launch of a large offensive aimed at defeating Hamas and providing the freedom of the remaining hostages in Gaza.

The Israeli Defense Forces have stated in its Jewish X account that it has mobilized Gideon’s Gideon Operation Troops to take advantage of the “strategic areas” of the strip.

Civil Defense Officers and Hamas Health Ministry say the Israeli attacks have died about 250 people from Thursday.

Israel imposed a blockade to help the tape in March after the breakup of a two -month ceasefire. Donald Trump, president of the United States, said on Friday that “many people are starving” in Gaza.

The Israeli military did not use the operative name in similar publications in their English X.

It says he will not stop operating “until Hamas is no longer a threat and all our hostages are at home” and “hit over 150 terrorist goals throughout the Gaza Strip” for 24 hours.

Israel has strengthened its bombing and built armored forces along the border, although the international pressure is increasing to resume negotiations to end the fire and end its blockade. Starting the operation seems to suggest that all efforts have failed.

The times from Israel have said that “Gideon’s chariots” – a reference to a biblical warrior – will see the IDF territory to take and control, move civilians south of the strip, attack Hamas and prevent control over supply.

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister, earlier this month stated that Israel is preparing “Intensive entry into the gas“To catch and hold territory.

His government said it would not start until Trump finishes a tour of the Middle East. The President of the United States left the region on Friday.

UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk has warned that Israel’s recent escalation can be considered a violation of international law.

“This last bomb barrage, forcing people to move against the backdrop of the threat of increased attacks, the methodical destruction of entire neighborhoods, and the refusal of humanitarian aid, emphasizing that it seems that there is an impetus for a constant demographic change in gas, which is in contrast to international law.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States is “concerned” by the situation.

Victoria Rose, a British reconstructive surgeon working at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Eunice, told the BBC Radio 4 program today that her team is “exhausted” and everyone has lost “significant weight”.

“The kids are really thin,” she said. “We have many young people whose teeth have fallen.”

“Many of them have quite significant injuries to burning, and with this level of malnutrition they are so more likely to infection and have so much less capacity to treat.”

An assessment, which was not supported on Monday, found that Gaza’s population was exposed to a “critical risk” of starvation.

The Israeli government has repeatedly rejected the allegations that Gaza has a shortage of food.

Israel launched a military campaign to destroy Hamas in response to the group’s cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and 251 others were taken hostage. Hamas still holds 57.
