Israel presses on with Gaza City assault, at least 60 Palestinians killed
By Angel May
Jerusalem (Reuters) -Israel’s army, according to Ghazan Health officials, continued his attack on the Gaza city and the wider Gaza Strip on Saturday, and dismantled the stuck structures in the attacks that killed at least 60 Palestinians.
The attack is planned to officially recognize an independent Palestinian state on Monday before the collection of annual leaders at the UN General Assembly next week, including Australia, Belgium, England and Canada.
The intense military demolition campaign aimed at high -rise buildings in Gaza, Israel, started with a land attack this week.
The forces that control the eastern suburbs of Gaza, hit the sheikh Radwan and Tel Al-Hawa regions where they will proceed in the central and western regions of the city.
Most of the Gaza City population shelters in these parts.
The soldier estimates that he has destroyed 20 Gaza City Tower blocks in the last two weeks. In addition, according to the Israeli media, he believes that more than 500,000 people have left the city since September.
Militant Group Hamas, who controls Gaza, is objected by saying that it is slightly less than 300,000 and remained around 900,000, including Israeli hostages.
In Telegram, Hamas’s military wing previously published a assembly -type image of Israeli hostages and said that their lives were at risk because of Israel’s military operation in Gaza.
Hamas also estimates that since August 11, Israel’s army has destroyed or damaged more than 1,800 residential buildings in Gaza city, and more than 13,000 tents, which contain displaced families, disappear.
In almost two years of fight, Israel’s attack killed more than 65,000 Palestinians, according to Ghazan health authorities, spread famine, most of them destroyed the structures, and in many cases, most of the population has displaced.
Israel says the hunger crisis in Gaza is exaggerated and that most of the accusation is in Hamas.
Cogat, the arm of the Israeli army, said Cogat, who controls the flow of aid flows to the settler, said that Hamas had previously shot at the UN teams on Saturday and prevented the opening of a new human route in the Southern Gaza Strip.
Hamas rejected the allegations by saying that he had attacked the trucks, looted and stolen by the aid gangs protected by Israeli firepower and air cover. The UN was not available to comment immediately.
“We call the UN organizations to carry out human and aid work day and night (),” he told Reuters, a senior HAMAS media official. He said.
The war began after Hamas caused attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023 and killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. A total of 48 hostages remain in Gaza and are thought to be around 20 live.
