in the conflict from its base in Lebanon.
Warning
To Hezbollah
In a
televised address marking the one-month anniversary of Israel's war with Hamas,
Netanyahu also issued a stern warning to Iran-backed Hezbollah, stating,
"It will be making the mistake of its life" if it opens a new front
in the conflict from its base in Lebanon.
The Ongoing Conflict
The
Israel-Hamas war, which began on October 7, erupted when fighters from the
Islamist group breached the Gaza Strip's boundaries and entered southern
Israel. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have reaffirmed their commitment,
stating, "We won't let Hamas win. We will rebuild our communities in
southern Israel and continue living our lives." The IDF has reported the
discovery and destruction of 130 Hamas tunnels in Gaza, along with other
underground infrastructure, including command centers.
Thousands
Flee Israeli Attack In Northern Gaza
As the
conflict continues, thousands of Palestinians are undertaking treacherous
journeys to escape the fighting and Israeli bombardments in northern Gaza.
Escaping dirty conditions in overcrowded schools, Gaza families displaced by
Israeli bombing are being forced to bathe and wash in polluted seawater. Israel
has meanwhile tightened its grip on Hamas, leading to a dire situation for the
population. The group claims it has successfully confronted Israel's military,
even destroying tanks and vehicles.
UNRWA
Colluding With Israel: Hamas
Hamas has
accused the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) of collusion with
Israel as Palestinians attempt to move from northern Gaza to the southern part
of the Strip. Israel has called on residents to relocate south to avoid the
conflict. However, Hamas has reportedly blocked routes and fired on those
trying to flee.
Israel's
Post-War Plans
Israeli
Prime Minister Netanyahu has indicated that Israel will maintain "security
responsibility" over the Gaza Strip for an indefinite period following its
war with Hamas. The situation in Gaza post-war remains uncertain, with concerns
about how Israel plans to manage it. Netanyahu acknowledged some responsibility
for the defence failure that allowed Hamas to commit its atrocities on October
7, stating, "Of course. It's not a question," and mentioning that
responsibility would be allocated after the war.
Casualties And Calls For Ceasefire
The war with
Hamas began after approximately 3,000 terrorists breached the Gaza border on
October 7, resulting in the deaths of around 1,400 people, mainly civilians,
and the abduction of over 240 individuals, including at least 30 children.
According to Israel, Hamas operatives killed some 1,400 people -- mostly
civilians -- and seized more than 240 hostages, in the worst attack on the
nation since its founding in 1948.
In
response, Israel has launched a withering assault on Hamas in the Palestinian
enclave it rules, home to some 2.4 million people. The Hamas-run health
ministry there says more than 10,300 people -- also mostly civilians -- have
been killed by Israel's offensive. There have been increasing international
calls for a ceasefire or "pause" in fighting as the conflict enters
its second month.
