The death toll in the Gaza Strip has just exceeded 29,000 deaths according to Hamas. Israel threatens to continue its offensive if the hostages are not released by Ramadan.
The human toll in the Gaza Strip has just exceeded 29,000 deaths and continues to increase hourly, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him that a military offensive in Rafah was necessary because he believed the city was the “last bastion” of Hamas and said he was determined to continue the operation “until complete victory”. The Israeli government also threatens to continue fighting if the hostages are not released by Ramadan. According to the Jewish state, nearly 130 people are still detained in the Palestinian enclave.
The Israeli army released a video showing three of them, a mother and her two children, taken through the streets of the town of Khan Yunis after their kidnapping on October 7. According to the IDF, this would prove that these hostages are alive and detained in the south of the Palestinian enclave.
Tensions are also very high on the Lebanese-Israeli border, where exchanges of fire take place almost daily between the Israeli army and Hezbollah. On Monday, Israeli warplanes carried out two strikes on the port city of Sidon, including an Islamist movement weapons depot, according to the IDF.
