For the conquest of the Roccaforte di Hamas in Gaza City, impregnated in 23 months of war, the Israeli government has chosen the date symbol of Rosh Hashanà (the Jewish New Year), the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eva and biblical beginning of the role of humanity in the world of God. Which this year falls on September 22.
The executive of Jerusalem is pressing on the military leaders for that date, has revealed a ‘qualified’ source (i.e. very close to ministers) to public TV Kan, explaining that most of the humanitarian infrastructures in the southern strip is ready to welcome the population that will be evacuated by Gaza City, that is, between 800 thousand and one million people. For days, since Tzahal’s raids have intensified on the suburbs of the city, citizens have started to move from the urban area.
According to sources of the Enclave, the number is already very high, while Israeli estimates speak of only 10 thousand people who have already left the war zone. The Red Cross warned that “it is impossible for a mass evacuation to be carried out safely and dignified in current conditions,” said President Mirjana Spoljaric. But to push the GazaWi to the south, in the next few days, the public TV Kan reported, the aerial launches of humanitarian aid above the city of Gaza will be interrupted and the introduction of trucks in the north of the Strip will be reduced.
Meanwhile, Hamas’s militiamen launched their counter-campaign to prevent residents from moving, claiming that there is no place in the South and evidently trying to use the presence of civilians as a shield. The Ministry of Health of Hamas said in the evening that in the last 24 hours 15 people have been killed and at least 206 have been injured while looking for help. In addition, 10 civilians would have died of malnutrition on the last day, including three children. According to the Ministry, the deceased are part of the 66 Palestinians who died in Israeli raids between Friday and Saturday. Shortly before the Shabbat, the Air Force and the Shin Bet (internal security) ended aimed at the Al-Bassoo building in Gaza City with the aim of eliminating a personality of ‘High Rango’ of Hamas. Shortly afterwards it was the same organization that condemned the attack that had as its objective the notorious and powerful spokesman for Hamas Abu Obeida’s military wing. In the attack, they reported sources of Gaza, seven people were killed in the building.
The fate of Abu Obeida is not yet clear. In an official press release, Hamas said that “Tsahal’s air attack hit a residential building inhabited in the Rimal district, in the western part of the city of Gaza causing dozens of deaths and injured”. A different source from the Enclave said that 11 people were hit while they were in line in front of a bakery during the attack, but also in this case the reports are not clear at the moment. For its part, the IDF said that she had used precision weapons in order not to cause civil damage. Just on Friday Abu Obeida, who had already been the subject of a failed RAID of the IDF in May, said that the army plans to conquer the city of Gaza “put the life of the hostages at risk and the responsibility of their destiny falls on the Israeli government and the Idf”.
Tel Aviv thousands of people took to the streets to ask the government to accept the agreement for the liberation of the hostages, attacking the executive after in the evening the indiscretion relaunched by the national news was released according to which during the safety cabinet that will be held tomorrow the question will not be on the agenda. Although the Israeli military and security leaders are ready to present a united front to ask the ministers to accept the current proposal for ceased the fire and release of the hostages by renouncing the offensive. The Family Forum said that this decision is “a further proof that the Netanyahu government is resorting to the perpetual war sacrificing the hostages”.
