In the latest developments on the Israel-Hamas conflict, the head of the Israel Defense Forces has announced that military forces are preparing to initiate a ground operation in the Gaza Strip with the objective of dismantling the Hamas terrorist organization.
Reports in the media on Monday indicated that the United States, Israel, and Egypt had supposedly reached an agreement to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza via the Rafah border. Nevertheless, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office promptly refuted this claim.
As the conflict between Israel and Hamas militants entered its tenth day on Monday, it showed no signs of abating and was anticipated to escalate further. The Israeli Army had made a resolute commitment to “eradicate Hamas,” and their troops were on the brink of entering the Gaza Strip in pursuit of Hamas militants responsible for a deadly incursion into Israeli border towns on October 7, a tragic event that sent shockwaves around the globe.
The ongoing conflict has tragically resulted in the loss of over 3,900 lives since its commencement last Saturday. Among these casualties, approximately 1,300 were Israelis, while 2,670 were Palestinians.
In the face of imminent Israeli ground operations against terror attacks, Israel had implored Palestinians to relocate to the southern region of the Gaza City enclave. This call led hundreds of thousands to evacuate Gaza City, which is home to more than half of the region’s 2 million inhabitants.
