Gaza City is now constantly under a “Fire ring”: the Palestinian media thus describe the advance of the IDF in the main city of the strip, accompanied by “heavy bombings”, while the budget of the victims continues to grow.
The declared goal of Israel is to reset what remains of Hamas and bring home the hostages home, but the Islamic faction despite the siege tries to counterattack with the weapons of the psychological war. So he released a propaganda image of the remaining 48 kidnapped in his hands, all renamed with the same name as an Israeli soldier dispersed for almost 40 years. The ring of fire, according to the reports from the ground, has come to go on several neighborhoods of the city where the IDF believes that Hamas keeps leadership, the remaining militias and hostages.
At least 56 deaths reported by dawn on Saturday, 71 in total, according to Jazeera.
At the Al-Shifa hospital, the largest in the strip and one of the few still operational in the territories, the director Mohammed Abu Salmiya was in service in the emergency room when he saw the bodies of his brother and sister-in-law arrive. According to the data collected by the independent organization ACLED, specialized in monitoring violence, about 15 out of 16 Palestinians killed by the Israeli army since the beginning of his new offensive in March were civil.
In the meantime Gaza City has emptied half of the residents, but despite the appeals to leave many families refuse or cannot start. The journey is expensive (there are those who speculate on despair) for some, while others do not know where to go. Among other things, Egypt has not intended to welcome an exodus of Palestinians, in fact it has doubled the presence of soldiers on the border. In the meantime, the conditions of those who remain remain catastrophic, not only because of the bombs: UNICEF has denounced that armed men have stolen therapeutic food for children in four trucks out of its compound. For Israel it’s Hamas’ fault.
Just Hamas has released an image of the 48 hostages, about twenty of which still alive, indicating them all with the name of ‘Ron Arad’, a navigator of the Air Force declared dispersed since 1988. Families have expressed the fear that their loved ones share the fate of Arad without an agreement for their release. Donald Trump also apparently shared this concern, even if he kept not to show himself too contrary to the line of the force adopted by Benyamin Netanyahu. The hostages “could be at greater risk” but “they could also be freed for this reason.
Many strange things happen in war. Many results occur that you would never have thought could occur, “said the US president by talking to journalists. Adding: the kidnapped “young people don’t die, they can bear a lot”. Instead, the media journalists and operators in Yemen were thirty -one, killed by Israeli raids on the editorial offices of three newspapers related to the Houthi last week. This was denounced it for the protection of journalists by defining it the most fatal attack against reporters of the last 16 years and the second ever recorded after the magicindanao massacre, in the Philippines, in 2009
