After the war Israel will remain in the gas security zones

Israeli Defense Minister said the troops would remain in the so -called security areas they created, seizing large territories even after the war.

Israel Katz said the zones would provide a “buffer” to protect Israeli communities “in any temporary and permanent situation, and that” tens of percent “of the Palestinian territory have been added since the Israeli offensive recovery three weeks ago.

He said Israel would continue his six -week humanitarian aid block to press Hamas to release hostages, despite warning about “devastating” consequences.

Meanwhile, hospitals said 24 Palestinians across Israel were killed throughout Israel.

Most of the registered were killed in Gaza, in the north.

They included 10 Hasson family, mostly children and women. One of them was the Hasun’s chair – a young writer and a photographer.

The BBC asked the Israeli military to comment on the strike.

Civil Defense Agency Hamas also stated that two people were killed in Israeli strikes at tents for moved families at the Yarmuk stadium in the northwest, Tuesday night.

Two more people were killed after a strike near the southern city of Khan Unis, he added.

Gaza Hamas’s Ministry of Health said more than 1,650 had been killed since the war on March 18.

The UN said 69% of the territory is now under active Israeli military orders, within the “lack” zone, which pass along the borders with Israel and Egypt and the Vadi Gaza Vada, or both. He estimated that 500,000 people were again moved without a safe place.

Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said they had killed “hundreds of terrorists” at blows, while troops advanced in several areas in the north and south. He created a new corridor that cut off the city of Rafa from the neighboring Khan Unis and appointed 30% of Gaza as a “perimeter of operating security”.

On Wednesday, Israel Katz said in a statement that the Israeli government’s policy should “make every effort in the first place to release all hostages”, “still being held there and” build a bridge to defeat Hamas. “

The Defense Minister added IDF Defense Minister who cleared the “terrorist infrastructure” sections with “great power” and then included them in the “Security Zone”.

“Unlike the past, IDF does not evacuate areas that have been cleaned and confiscated,” he said.

“IDF will remain in security zones as a buffer between enemies and (Israeli) communities in any temporary and permanent situation in Gaza – both in Lebanon and Syria.”

Katz also made it clear that Israel will retain its blockade at the same time.

“Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian assistance will enter the gas, and blocking this assistance is one of the main pressure levers that prevents Hamas from using it as a tool with the population,” he said.

The Israeli government states that the gas has no lack of assistance, as 25,000 freight cargoes made during the ceasefire. However, the UN agencies strongly dismiss the lawsuit and believe that the blockade may violate the international humanitarian law.

The report on Tuesday in the “Intensive Military Action, Movement Order”, in the report on coordination of humanitarian affairs (OCHA) states that “intense hostilities, orders of movement, blockade in admission and commercial deliveries and reduced humanitarian spaces, which are probably the worst humanitarian Years. “

Médecins Sans Frontères (MSF) Assistance Organization, meanwhile, warned that Gaza “turned into a mass grave of Palestinians and those who came to the rescue.”

“We observe real-time destruction and compulsion of moving the entire population to the newspaper,” said Amanda Baserol, Emergency Coordinator.

“With nowhere safe for the Palestinians and those trying to help them, the humanitarian response is strongly fought under the gravity of uncertainty and critical lack of supplies, leaving people little, if any, opportunities for care.”

MSF said two of its employees have been killed and called the murder of 15 Israeli troops last month, “another example of a complete ignoring Israeli forces for the protection of humanitarian and medical workers.”

It also states that it faces a deficiency of drugs in the fight against pain and chronic diseases, antibiotics and critical surgical materials.

The Israeli military launched a campaign to destroy Hamas in response to an unprecedented cross -border attack on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and took 251 people hostage.

According to the Ministry of Health, at least 51 025 people were killed in Gaza.

Many of the 1.9 million displaced people returned to the domestic areas during the recent ceasefire, which began on January 19.

In this mode, the ceasefire saw that Hamas had released 33 Israeli hostages – eight of them were killed – in exchange for about 1900 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, the growth of humanitarian aid, and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from settlements.

On March 2, Israel blocked all the supplies of humanitarian aid and other necessary gas supplies and resumed its offensive in two weeks, accusing Hamos to accept the proposal to expand the first stage of the ceasefire agreement and the release of more of the 59 hostages he is still holding up to 24.

Hamas accused Israel of violating the initial transaction, according to which the second stage will be transferred to all other living hostages, and the war led to a permanent end.

On Tuesday, a high -ranking Palestinian official told the BBC that Hamas had rejected a new Israeli proposal for a six -week ceasefire in exchange for the exit of half of the living Israeli hostages and disarmament of the armed group.

On Wednesday, a source close to the Israeli Prime Minister’s office reported to the Haaretz newspaper that Israel has not yet received an official response from Hamas.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s armed group has released a new video showing an Israeli-German hostage to Rum Brazlovsky. In the video he seems to be forced, a 21-year-old boy appealed to the US and Israeli governments to ensure his release.

German Ambassador to Israel Stephene Sejbert said he was painfully seeing his “harsh parade in the video”.

“Terrorists must release him and all hostages. And all those who participate in the negotiations: no obligation is more urgent than their return,” he added.
