Rooms of Gaza City-Israel advises on the takeover of the area

The Israeli army has published a clearance call for residential areas in the south of the city of Gaza before consultations about an expansion of the Gaza War. The military spokesman in Arabic asked the residents of the district Al-Saitun to immediately go south to the humanitarian zone in al-Mawasi. According to previous warnings, the army expanded its commitment towards the west, it was said in the message.

The spokesman then also published a clearance call for parts of the city of Chan Junis in the south of the coastal strip. However, this does not apply to the Nasser Hospital in the city, it said.

Since the beginning of the Gaza War 22 months ago after the unprecedented Hamas massacre in Israel, almost the entire population of the Gaza Strip has become displaced inland. Since then, many people have had to flee several times. Also in the humanitarian zone al-Mawasi there were always fatal attacks.

According to media reports, the Israeli security cabinet is to decide on Thursday about a plan to take the entire Gaza strip. The Israeli radio reported that as part of such a plan, the military must penetrate the refugee district in the central section of the coastal section and the city of Gaza.

The army leadership warns of such a step to the head of government Benjamin Netanyahu tenden. General chief of staff Ejal Zamir warned of a “trap” and a fatal danger to hostages and soldiers.

The Israeli opposition leader Jair Lapid described the government’s considerations to complete the Gaza Strip as a “very bad idea”. “Israel is not sent to war if the majority of the population is not behind you – and the Israeli people are not interested in this war,” he said. Israel will pay a “high price” for the expansion of the fights in the coastal area, Lapid said. He referred to both the number of victims who would probably bring the military conquest of further areas as well as the possible costs of a crew.
