The Israeli army calls on tens of thousands of reserve soldiers to the Gaza attack
The Israeli army called on tens of thousands of reserve soldiers to “intensify and expand” its operations in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it “increases pressure” with the aim of returning the hostages in Gaza and defeating Hamas militants.
Under the plan, the army said it would work in new areas and “destroy all infrastructure” above and under the ground.
The local media reported that the Israeli security cabinet was expected to vote on military expansion on Sunday.
The Israeli hostages have not been released since Israel resumed its attack on March 18 after a two -month ceasefire collapsed with Hamas. Israel and Hamas blamed each other at the end of the armistice.
Since then, Israel has seized large areas of Gaza, which resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Ghazan again.
On March 2, Israel closed the crossings of Gaza, preventing all goods, including food, fuel and medicines from entering. Some humanitarian organizations are running out of food, and society kitchens say their stocks are diminishing quickly.
There is an increasing international pressure on Israel to lift the siege, with warnings that collective hunger may be imminent and that civilians who are intentionally starved is a war crime.
Israeli officials said that its attack aims to secure the launch of the 59 hostages of hostages that Hamas – 24 of whom are believed to be alive.
The army, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, presented its planned attack in Gaza on Friday, according to the local media.
In recent weeks, thousands of Israeli elderly have signed messages asking the Netanyahu government to stop fighting and focus instead on reaching a deal to return the hostages.
On Saturday evening, there were new protests throughout Israel calling for an end to the conflict.
In Tel Aviv, a hostage mother still described in captivity as a “unnecessary war.”
The Israeli army said on Sunday that two other Israeli soldiers were killed in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the fire missile fired from Yemen landed near the main station of Ben Gurion Airport in Israel On Sunday morning, the Israeli authorities said.
In Gaza, the Hamas -running Ministry of Health said from 11:05 local time (09:05 GMT) on Sunday, 40 people were killed in the previous 24 hours and wounded 125 again.
