Gaza City Operation
A report published in August by the UN-backed Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) officially confirmed famine in Gaza City, home to nearly half of the enclave’s 2.2 million people, and surrounding areas for the first time.
“We have entered the second phase of Operation Gideon’s Chariots to fulfill the objectives of the war,” said Israeli army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir on Wednesday.
Israel kills dozens of Palestinians every day in Gaza and is currently preparing to expand operations by conquering Gaza City, home to hundreds of thousands of people, and reoccupy the entire enclave.
Netanyahu said “defeating Hamas and freeing all our captives go hand in hand,” according to the BBC.
