Israel prepares for a massive offensive in Gaza: where they are evacuating civilians

Israel is preparing to evacuate civilians from Gaza ahead of the offensive

The Israeli army plans to move civilians from the northern regions of the city of Gaza to the south of the enclave ahead of a major offensive. Residents of Gaza will be provided with tents and other equipment to set up temporary shelters through the Kerem Shalom checkpoint, with transportation being carried out by the UN and international humanitarian organizations. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Gaza city as the last stronghold of Hamas and indicated that civilians would be evacuated to safe zones.

The 'Islamic Jihad' group, in collaboration with Hamas, described Israel's actions as a 'brutal occupation campaign' and a 'violation of international conventions'. Meanwhile, Israeli forces are conducting airstrikes and tank shelling in the Zaitun and Shujaiya areas on the outskirts of Gaza.

The Israeli Finance Minister announced the start of construction of a settlement in the Maale Adumim area, which could undermine the prospects for the creation of a Palestinian state. The E1 project, which is planned to be launched, could have serious consequences for the region. Israel's non-recognition of a Palestinian state intends to express itself factually rather than documentarily.

The UN has expressed concern over Israel's plans, stressing that forced relocation to the south will only deepen the humanitarian crisis. At the same time, the organization welcomed the resumption of access for humanitarian cargo: 'The UN and its partners will seize this opportunity,' said a spokesperson.

Israel is preparing to evacuate civilians from Gaza to the south of the enclave ahead of a large-scale offensive. Cooperation with the UN and international humanitarian organizations will help ensure the safety of civilians, although in response to these actions, Israel has faced criticism from the 'Islamic Jihad' and Hamas groups.
