Gaza War: Israel decides on tightening the Gaza attacks

According to media reports, the Israeli leadership wants to decide on Friday about a possible tightening of the attacks in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a management advice around noon, the army broadcaster reported. Plans should be decided to expand the attacks. General chief Ejal Zamir and Defense Minister Israel Katz had already approved them, now only Netanyahu has to agree.

After an almost two -month ceasefire, the Israeli army resumed its attacks in the Gaza Strip on March 18. According to Israeli information, 24 hostages are recorded in the coastal strip and the corpses of 35 are kidnapped. With the attacks, Israel wants to increase the pressure on Hamas so that it agrees to release further hostages. According to the released kidnappers, these are captured by their kidnappers under cruelest circumstances.

The trigger of the Gaza War was the attack by Hamas and other extremist groups on Israel on October 7, 2023, in which around 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 Israelis were dragged into the Gaza strip. Since then, according to the health authority controlled by the Hamas, more than 52,400 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip. The number of the attacks that have been resumed on March 18 is therefore more than 2,300. The location is also desperate for the civilian population in the coastal area because Israel has been blocking aid deliveries for two months.
