Tel Aviv, 2 December. (time.news/Dpa) – According to the latest news today, December 2, Israel’s offensive against Hamas has resumed with massive attacks. There would be 300 deaths in Israeli attacks in the Shejaiyeh area, in the eastern part of Gaza City according to the Israeli newspaper Time which is based on complaints spread by Hamas, which accuses Israel of having bombed over 50 buildings in the neighborhood after the end of the pause in hostilities .
More than 100 people died in an Israeli raid that targeted a house housing families and displaced people in the Jabalia camp in the northern Gaza Strip according to al-Jazeera.
The Times of Israel wrote of “extensive land battles” around the town of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the isolated area. The IDF reported that some Hamas leaders were in the area. Citing residents of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli newspaper added that the Israeli army dropped leaflets in Khan Younis urging residents to flee to Rafah in the south as the area was dangerous. IDF attacks were also reported in Rafah.
“In the last two days we have also intervened in areas where we had not operated in the last month. And this will intensify. Every area where it is necessary to reach will be reached.” Word of the Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant, who expressed himself in this way less than 48 hours after the end of the pause in hostilities between Israel and Hamas, with the resumption of Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip.
Gallant, local media reported, reiterated Israel’s objective of “eliminating Hamas”. It will be, he insisted during a visit to a military site near the border barrier with the Strip, “precise and targeted” operations.
The IDF said it attacked more than 400 targets in the Gaza Strip over the past day, many of them in the southern city of Khan Yunis. “The Israeli Navy operated in Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah, in the southern Gaza Strip, and attacked “military targets of the Hamas organization, as well as infrastructure and equipment used by the organization’s naval force,” the statement read of the Israeli army.
In the northern Gaza Strip, a terrorist cell was attacked which, according to the IDF, had set an ambush for Israeli forces. The Israeli army also struck a mosque which, according to information, was being used as the military headquarters of Islamic Jihad.
Civilians have once again filled Gaza’s hospitals following the resumption of hostilities between Israel and Hamas. According to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry, most of the victims of the bombing in Gaza since the end of yesterday’s truce are women and children. Israel says its military strikes are targeting Hamas, not civilians.
“Medical teams have been dealing with a large number of injured since the end of the humanitarian pause yesterday morning, with the continued shelling of civilians,” Ashraf Al-Qidra, spokesperson for the Health Ministry, told CNN. “The injured are lying on the floors in emergency departments and in front of operating rooms due to the many arrivals.”
Conditions are also worsening in southern Gaza. Israel recently began carrying out attacks in the area after previously concentrating military activity in the north of the enclave. “Hospitals in the southern regions of the Gaza Strip are no longer able to provide medical services. The emergency room is not able to receive any more victims,” the director of the Khan Younis European Hospital, Youssef Al-Akkad, said in a statement.
French President Emmanuel Macron has warned Israel that the goal of the “total destruction of Hamas”, the Palestinian Islamic movement in Gaza, must be “specified” because it would require “10 years” of war. “The total destruction of Hamas, what is it? Does anyone think it is possible? If so, the war will last 10 years, but I don’t think anyone knows how to seriously define this objective. So this objective must be clarified,” Macron said at a press conference in Dubai, where he participated in Cop28.
The French president then urged “redouble efforts to reach a lasting ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip, again bombed by the Israeli army after the expiry of the truce agreed with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.
“The resumption of fighting in the Gaza Strip – he said at a press conference in Dubai – is a topic of concern that has been the subject of numerous discussions” during COP28.
And he then announced that he will travel to Qatar to meet Emir al-Thani and find an agreement for a new truce in the Gaza Strip. France is “very worried” about the resumption of violence in Gaza”, he said at a press conference in Dubai, where he participated in Cop28, adding that he will fly to Qatar in the next few hours to help find an agreement for “a new truce before a ceasefire.”
Meanwhile, the head of the Mossad, David Barnea, recalled the team of negotiators engaged in Doha negotiations on the ceasefire and release of prisoners due to the “deadlock” in the talks. This is what we read in an Israeli intelligence note, released by the office of the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Due to the stalemate in negotiations and on the instructions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mossad chief David Barnea ordered his team in Doha to return to Israel. The terrorist organization Hamas did not fulfill its part of the agreement, which provided for the release of all children and women according to a list provided to Hamas and which it approved,” the statement said.
“The head of the Mossad – continues the note – thanks the head of the CIA, the Egyptian Minister of Intelligence and the Prime Minister of Qatar for their collaboration in the enormous mediation efforts which led to the release of 84 minors and women from the Strip Gaza as well as 24 foreign citizens”.
UN humanitarian affairs chief Martin Griffiths insisted on the need to end the fighting between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and called the situation of civilians in the region following the end of the truce “unacceptable”. “Almost two months after the fighting began,” he said, “the children, women and men of Gaza are terrified, have nowhere safe to go and have very little to survive on.”
“They live surrounded by disease, destruction and death. This is unacceptable”, added the UN representative, insisting on the need for a humanitarian ceasefire, to “maintain – and benefit from – progress in the delivery of humanitarian aid, protect civilians and the infrastructure on which they depend for sustenance of life and release the remaining hostages immediately and unconditionally.”
