The Israeli military says it started big new offensive in Gaza, on the same day when Trump leaves the region without a deal

Israel has launched a big new offensive in Gaza, which aims to destroy Hamas and free hostage, the conviction of the United Nations and aid organizations that warn that civilians bear the main burden of the extended attack.

In the past 24 hours more than 150 people have been killed and 459 others injured, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Saturday and increased an increasing burden on days of intensive Israeli strikes.

“The situation for Palestinians in Gaza is beyond gruel and Beyond Inhuman,” said Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations, in a Saturday post on X.

“A policy of siege and hunger makes a mockery about international law. The blockade against humanitarian aid must end immediately. This is a moment for moral clarity and action,” added Gutreres.

In a explanation on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said that “extensive attacks and mobilized forces to confiscate strategic areas in the Gaza Strip, as part of the opening movements of Operation 'Gideon's Chariot' and the expansion of the campaign in Gaza, about the publication of the Hostages and Hostage and the heterages and the chicken whispering and the host day and the chicken chicken, and the chicken and the chicken chicken. ”

The development takes place when US President Donald Trump completed his visit to the Middle East without securing a ceasefire.

The IDF's announcement is also made shortly after the Palestinian Ministry of Health marks a dark milestone in the war. On Thursday, the Ministry announced that the number of people who were killed by Israel's offensive in Gaza since the attacks from October 7th in 2023 has now exceeded 53,000 – most are women and children.

Dr. Munir Al-Sultan, director of the Indonesian hospital in Beit Lahiya, North Gaza, said on Friday that there were “extremely intensive explosions” in the hospital, which interrupted the connections that need some of their patients to stay alive.

Raed Radwan, a displaced resident of the district of Sheikh Radwan, told CNN on Saturday that he could feel shaking the floor since dawn due to explosions in the enclave.

“Many people who could not flee yesterday due to the intensity of the fire yesterday are in motion,” he said.

“After the announcement of the new military personnel, food prices rose.

“The situation in Gaza is heartbreaking, beyond imagination. It is difficult to describe,” said Nael Rahmi from the Al-Nasr district in Gaza.

“People only flee the clothes on their backs and cannot carry personal objects.”

The new Israeli offensive is in the middle of the apparently growing differences between the US governments of the United States and the Israeli governments. Trump said last week that he had an end to the “brutal war” in Gaza Strip and did not visit Israel during his tour through the Middle East this week.

He also avoided Israel twice this month to achieve bilateral business with regional militant groups. Hamas released an Israeli-American hostage last week, and the Houthis agreed to shoot American ships in the Red Sea as they promised to continue to fight Israel.

On Wednesday, Trump denied that Israel had failed. “It's good for Israel,” he said. But on Thursday he said he wanted the USA to “take” Gaza and transform it into a “freedom zone”.

“I have concepts for Gaza, which I think is very good, make it a freedom zone, hire the United States and only make it a freedom zone,” said Trump in Qatar.

During the golf, Trump also admitted that people are starving in Gaza Strip and the USA “care” in Gaza Strip.

“We look at Gaza. And we'll take care of it. Many people are starving,” he said reporters in Abu Dhabi.

In the Iraqi capital on Saturday, the Arab leaders gathered to a summit that was expected to present the war in Gaza with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Egyptian president Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. The Guterres of the UN and Spain Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez are also among those who take part in the Baghdad Summit.

Since the situation for Palestinian civilians is increasingly worse, and ungutors demand urgent measures.

According to a report by the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees, around 436,000 people have been violently driven out since a report by the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees when Israel launched a new floor campaign as part of his renewed attack on the enclave.

For almost 11 weeks, Israel Gaza has imposed a complete siege that denies the more than 2 million Palestinians who live in the territory, the entry of food, medical care and other help.

According to Israel, the blockade, together with the expansion of bombing Gaza by the military, is supposed to put Hamas under pressure to publish hostages in the enclave – but international organizations say that it violates international law. Many accuse Israel of using hunger as a weapon of war.

A UN study this week warned one of five people in the Gaza Strip that is exposed to hunger and that the entire Gaza Strip population has a “high risk” of famine, the most serious kind of hunger crisis.

The United States and Israel support the newly established humanitarian foundation in Gaza, a strictly controlled mechanism for Gaza Strip, with which the traditional role of the UN agencies is to be replaced in providing help for the enclave.

The managing director of the foundation, Jake Wood, said CNN on Friday that Israel agreed to allow some food in Gaza before a newly approved mechanism for the delivery of help is in operation during this month, but he did not yet know when or how many auxiliary clothes would be allowed to Israel.

The Israeli government was not influenced in the third month by a growing flood of international criticism of the blockade of the help of Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu said at the beginning of this week: “We are destroying more and more houses, they don't have to return anywhere. The only inevitable result will be the desire of the Gazaner to emigrate outside of the Gaza Strip.

Israel started the war after Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups had carried out a surprise attack on South Israel on October 7, 2023. He killed 1,200 people, mainly civilians, and took 251 hostages. This attack was the most fatal terrorist attack in the history of Israel.
