The Israeli army holds the grip around Gaza City, in view of the offensive massive that should start within the next two weeks, while the tension in the West Bank, with the ANP, that denounces the systematic policy of Israel to force residents to leave their lands, rises to the stars. As throughout the strip, the Palestinians accuse, where the balance of the deaths from hunger has reached 289 victims, including 115 children.
Decepts to which the Palestinians killed in raids or to search for food are added: at least 5 those affected to death today near one of the GHF aid distribution centers. The IDF, which made raids on the Yemenita Sanàa capital after the launches of rockets and drones of the Houthi last few days, specified that the advance of the tanks armed in the Sabra district close to the center of Gaza City is part of the military operations to prepare the conquest of the entire city. The X hour, however, should not be triggered before September 2, when at least 60 thousand reservists should present themselves in service.
The conditional is a must given the fiery climate that shakes the country, shaken in the last few hours by the Israeli confirmation of what has been stated in recent days by the White House: Israel has assessed that “at least one or two” of the hostages held in Gaza pour into life dangerous conditions. But according to the media, the officials fear that even several others still in the hands of Hamas have a desperate need for medical care. At the center of the meeting of the Israel Political Cabinet scheduled for Tuesday, when the managers will be called to approve the plans for the assault.
On the same day the Forum of the Hostage Families, which today showed in front of the houses of several ministers, has called a new demonstration to Tel Aviv, betting on the participation of “hundreds of thousands” of people, because as it was also resonated on Saturday evening in the squares “there is an agreement on the table, but the agreements do not last forever: this could be the last chance to save human lives and to bring back the fallen”.
But Netanyahu’s executive does not seem to want to hear reasons. And glissing on the proposal of Benny Gantz of a government of national unity to free the kidnapped, he pulls straight on the military countryside while thousands of Palestinians flee as they can by Gaza City, hammered by the shots of the tank and the raids of Israeli forces. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis continues to reap victims despite Israel try at all costs to overturn the narrative, also using social media: this week the government has in fact organized a tour of 10 Israeli and American influencers in the strip to “reveal the truth” on the humanitarian conditions of the Palestinians and “refute the lies of Hamas”.
In the meantime, the tension is also higher in the West Bank, where the story of the village of Mughayyir has become a coincidence: after an attack of the last week, the Israeli army isolated the area and according to the testimonies mentioned also by the media of Tel Aviv destroyed thousands of olive trees in an area of almost 30 hectares and arrested a dozen people. The village “will pay a high price” for the attack, had threatened the head of the central command, General Avi Blut. The thesis of the Palestinians is completely different and finds confirmation in the images that arrived today from the area, which the soldiers have closed the press for days.
The bulldozers are in action not only to destroy the olive groves, a sort of punishment for the sporadic attacks of some residents, but also to build a road. What is happening in the village “It is part of a wider campaign that is being verified in Jenin, Tulkarem, Hebron and in other Palestinian areas” to extend the “Israeli colonial presence”, denounced Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesman for the president of Anp Abu Mazen.
