Even after more than 50 days, there is no hope for peace in the Gaza Strip after the attack on Israel on 7 Oct by Hamas, which led to one of the deadliest attacks on the Gaza Strip by the Israeli Defense Forces.
Israeli PM Netanyahu vowed to keep fighting in Gaza until it crushes Hamas after one of the deadliest single battles of the war for its soldiers, even as it faces mounting international pressure. The alarming thing for Israel is that the support for Hamas has surged among Palestinians in part because of the militant group’s stiff resistance to a far more powerful foe. At the same time, the U.S. has expressed growing discomfort over civilian deaths.
After the 7 Oct incident, Israeli troops ordered civilians to vacate the North of Gaza; after that, Israel imposed a total siege on northern Gaza, including Gaza City, and flattened much of it in what is already one of the 21st century’s most devastating military campaigns.
The military released footage on Thursday from northern Gaza showing dozens of men with their hands above their heads walking in a straight line out of a damaged building. In defense of this, Israel says it is rounding up men in northern Gaza as it searches for Hamas fighters. The Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said 70 medical workers and patients were detained when Israeli forces raided the hospital earlier this week, including the hospital director. The U.N. humanitarian office has strongly condemned this incident.
Palestine is also getting international support as of now because Palestine is facing a civilian crisis. Nearly 1.9 million Palestinians have been driven from their homes, with most seeking refuge in the south, even as Israel has continued to strike what it says are militant targets in all parts of the territory.
Around half the hostages, mostly women and children, were released last month during a weeklong cease-fire in exchange for the release of 240 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
