Israel reiterated orders for the evacuation of the city of Gaza, but until then he has recommended residents to run away from the coastal road. The new passage, called Saladdine, will only be available for 48 hours, the Israeli colonel Avichay Adrae on social networks said Wednesday.

According to the spokesman for the Israeli army, Effie Deffrin, the Israeli army already controls “very” of the Palestinian territory. About 350,000 residents in the city of Gaza have left the location towards humanitarian areas so called in the southern enclave. Until the week before the start of the offensive, between 900,000 and one million people lived in this city which is the main city of the Gaza Strip.

At this moment, two divisions of the Israeli army operate in the city of Gaza and another third will be added to them in the next few days. The data are reserved, but the RFI He has obtained the information that the Israeli regular forces have between six and seven divisions. That is, this expansion in the city of Gaza must count on the participation of half of the army divisions.

According to the chief staff of the Israeli army Eyal Zamir, “Hamas received hard shots that led to the defeat of most of the military power” from the Palestinian group. According to him, “the successes [na Faixa de Gaza] They will allow Israel to approach the end of the war. “

Zamir was the great protagonist of the clashes with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in recent meetings of the security office to demonstrate the opposition to the offensive. The head of the army staff clarified that he considers the decision a risk for the 48 hostages still held in captivity, of which 20 are alive and for the soldiers of the country.

According to the information determined by RFIThe evaluation of an Israeli source is that this operation should take several months and can extend until January 2026.

Gaza City

Today, the population of the city of Gaza is divided into three groups: those who try to escape south and follow the guidelines of the Israeli army, those who have decided to be impossible to move and those who will be pressure from Hamas or because they do not believe in Israel’s guidelines.

Those who try to escape a long traffic jam of people who drive on foot, cars or trucks along the Al-Brashid road, the main coastal road of Gaza. In addition, there is an economic question that makes the escape difficult: the number of trucks available for the transport of people and their goods is reduced, because the price of the service has significantly increased.

The value of fuels has also increased in the territory precisely due to scarcity. All these elements make the life of those who want to leave the city of Gaza even more difficult and escape the current focus of the war.

Israel estimates that between 200,000 and 300,000 Palestinian civilians will remain in the city of Gaza during this phase of military expansion.

Infantile genocide and malnutrition

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned that more than one hundred thousand children need care for acute malnutrition in the Palestinian enclave. The prominent spokesman, TESS Ingram, says that “the forced and mass displacement of families in the city of Gaza is a fatal threat to the most vulnerable”. According to her, the nutritional centers in the city of Gaza have been “forced to close this week due to orders of retreat and military climb”.

Israel disputes the accusations of hunger in the Gaza strip. In the specific case of the current operation, the Israeli authorities say that people who move to humanitarian areas in the southern territory “will find food, accommodation and medicine”.

A new report by an independent Commission of the United Nations has also declared Tuesday that Israel is responsible for the commission of a genocide against the Palestinians not only in the Gaza Strip, but also in East Jerusalem. According to the document, Israel committed four of the five genocidal acts defined by the Convention for the prevention and punishment of the Crime Genocide, 1948.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel has claimed to categorically refuse the relationship, denouncing it as “distorted and false”. Israel also accused the three experts of the Committee of serving as “representatives” of the Palestinian armed group and based on “full of falsity of habas, whitening and repeated by others” which “had already been completely exposed”.

“In a clear contrast with the lies of the relationship, Hamas is the part that tried the genocide in Israel killing 1,200 people, raping women, burning living families and openly declaring the goal of killing all Jews,” said the ministry with a note.

War between Israel and Houthi

In parallel Israel and the rebels of Ymemen Houthis in Iran continue their “friction war”, while long -term conflicts are called. These hostilities are fought between enemies two thousand kilometers away from each other.

Since the end of the short period of ceased the fire between Israel and Hamas, in mid -March this year, the armed group of Iemeniitis has shot 84 ballistic missiles and at least 37 drones against the Israeli territory. Israel has already performed 18 attacks against Hethis’ objectives in Yemen which included the elimination of most of the rebel command chain on August 31st.

According to information obtained from RFIThe new Israeli policy in relation to Houthi is looking for its economic isolation. This is the reason why Tuesday’s attack focused on the port of Hodeida, on the west coast of Yemen, the main refueling place of the Houthis regime.

According to the Al-Masirah television channel, affiliated to the group, the Israelis performed 12 attacks against the ports of Porto. Two sources on the scene told Reuters Agency that three of these piers had been reconstructed after the previous actions of Israel.

About an hour before the operation, the spokesman for the Israeli army issued a declaration warned the civilian population to leave the scene.
