Images released by Hamas show how terrorists use a civilian area as a launching point for their attacks.
“These are the criteria that Hamas has chosen to establish rocket launch sites: anywhere. “Areas with civilians are preferred”denounced the Israeli army through its X account.
Israel has long denounced that terrorist organizations in Gaza also entrench themselves in humanitarian infrastructure. Yesterday five projectiles were launched towards Israel from a humanitarian aid zone in central Gaza. Two of them crossed into Israel and three fell into Gaza.
Earlier this month, Israel reported that Hamas booby-trapped some homes in Rafah, southern Gaza. The Defense Forces released a video showing how soldiers enter the house and come across – at least – three large black cylinders in rooms, hallways and even the kitchen.
“This is a house in Rafah that Hamas has booby-trapped. It is just one of the many examples in which Hamas entrenches itself in the population and civil infrastructure“, the Army wrote on its social networks along with the images, while exposing once again how the Iranian-funded group uses innocent Palestinians in the context of the war.
“Hamas continues to prioritize its terrorism over the safety of Gazans”add the message.
The Israeli Army announced this Sunday that from now on it will pause its attacks daily in the southern Gaza Strip between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. to allow the distribution of humanitarian aid in the area.
The decision comes after holding “discussions with the UN and international organizations,” the Israeli military said in a statement.
On a map shared by the authorities you can see the route of “humanitarian breaks” daily Israelis, which reaches from the crossing Kerem Shalomin the south, to the European Hospital of Jan Yunis.
Since the Israeli Army entered Rafah at the beginning of last month, the border crossing into Egypt – where much of the humanitarian aid crossed into the enclave – remains closed, and almost no supplies enter through the Kerem Shalom crossing, also in the south. sporadically.
The situation has forced close hospitals and clinics and has served to aggravate a previously catastrophic humanitarian crisis, as denounced by international organizations such as Doctors Without Borders.
According to the Army, the daily pauses in the attacks began yesterday, Saturday.
In a subsequent statement, Israeli forces made it clear that the decision does not imply a cessation of hostilities in the south, and emphasized that the attacks in the town of Rafah will continue.
They also assured that the demilitarized route can only be used for the transportation of humanitarian aid, that is, that civilians will not be able to use it to travel.
The announcement comes a day after the Israeli Army experienced its deadliest day in Gaza since the start of the war, with the death of eight soldiers when the armored vehicle exploded in which they traveled in the south of the Strip.
The explanation of the armed forces suggests that the explosion of a bomb hit the vehicle, which was loaded with explosive material, causing it to also explode and triggering a large detonation.
Israeli forces today published the names of five of the eight soldiers killed in the incident, and also reported the death yesterday, Saturday, of two reservists in the north of the enclave, in a tank explosion.
Since the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza began At least 309 Israeli soldiers have been killed. Meanwhile, some 37,296 Gazans have lost their lives, most of them women and children, in the constant attacks by the Israeli Army on the Strip.
