Tel Aviv: The Israeli army has carried out the most fierce attack on Gaza after the ceasefire ended. The Israeli army on Tuesday destroyed more than 80 targets by carrying out one attack after another within just 10 minutes. The Israeli army said that the fighter jets destroyed all the targets within just 2 minutes. More than 400 people have been killed in this attack. Hamas's mid-level battalion commanders and company leaders were targeted in this attack. At the same time, the head of Hamas's Shura Council, ministers and Hamas PM were targeted in the Israeli attack. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that fierce attacks against Hamas will continue in the future.
According to AP report, Israel carried out air strikes in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing at least 413 Palestinians, including women and children. The attacks have put the peace talks in crisis, and the ceasefire has broken. According to hospital officials, this attack is the deadliest attack since the ceasefire in January, raising the possibility of the 17-month-long war flaring up again. Israel claims that this attack was carried out when Hamas rejected the demand for changes in the ceasefire agreement.
Israel may start ground military operation
Israeli officials say that this campaign will continue indefinitely and it can be expanded even more. At the same time, Hamas has said that Netanyahu's decision to resume the war is like giving death sentence to the hostages. Netanyahu has carried out this attack to save his radical coalition government. Regarding the attack, Gaza's Health Ministry said that more than 560 people were injured and rescue teams are still searching for people trapped in the rubble. The Israeli army ordered the evacuation of people from the eastern areas of Gaza, including the northern city of Beit Hanun and other southern areas, which makes it clear that Israel may soon launch a ground military operation.
Ceasefire broken, peace talks in crisis
The first phase of the ceasefire included the release of 25 Israeli hostages and the release of 2,000 Palestinian prisoners in return. But the second phase could not be agreed upon, in which the release of the remaining 59 hostages and ending the war were to be discussed. Hamas says it wants an end to the war and a complete withdrawal of Israeli troops, while Israel says it will continue the fight until the complete destruction of Hamas' military infrastructure and the safe return of all hostages.
Devastation and fear increased in Gaza
Netanyahu's office has said in a statement that Israel will now use more military force against Hamas. This attack has taken place at a time when the month of Ramadan is going on, which has further increased the horror of the war. This attack has also raised questions about the safety of about two dozen Israeli hostages held by Hamas. There have also been protests in Israel against Netanyahu's policy. It is alleged that the return of the hostages has been put in danger.
Who said what on the attack?
- America: Israel had consulted the US before this attack, and the US supports this action.
- Iran: These attacks are a continuation of genocide and ethnic cleansing. The US has direct responsibility. This action is a threat to peace.
- Turkey: The attacks are a new phase of genocide. The international community should immediately intervene in the matter.
- Egypt: It is clearly a violation of the ceasefire. This is an attempt to thwart peace efforts.
- United Nations: UN human rights chief Volker Turk said he was shocked by these attacks. Said both sides should stop the conflict.
Widespread instability can arise in Gaza: UAE
The Foreign Ministry of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said that the continued Israeli airstrikes on civilian and residential areas in Gaza could lead to widespread instability in the region and pose a risk of escalation of violence across the region. News agency Xinhua quoted the official Emirates News Agency (WAM) as saying that the ministry has called for preventing further innocent lives in Gaza, preventing the humanitarian situation from deteriorating, preventing punitive actions affecting civilians and preventing tensions from escalating. According to the WAM report, the ministry also urged the international community to press for a fresh ceasefire, restoration of electricity, reopening of crossings and ensuring the continued and uninterrupted supply of humanitarian aid to those in need in Gaza.
