Israel officially commences urban warfare in Gaza after encircling city
이스라엘, 시가전 공식화..“가자지구 포위 완료“
Over in the Middle East.
As Israel intensifies its ground operations in Gaza, its forces are now engaged in urban warfare, which could lead to even worse casualties on both sides.
Choi Soo-hyung has the details.
About ten days after the expansion of Israel’s ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, its troops are now involved in urban warfare.
Prime Minister Netanyahu made an official statement on Tuesday announcing that the Israel Defense Forces, after encircling Gaza City, was conducting urban operations inside, in its month-long offensive against Hamas.
“Gaza City is encircled, we are operating inside it. We are increasing pressure on Hamas every hour, every day. We have killed thousands of terrorists, above ground and below ground.“
Defense Minister Gallant also announced the same day that the IDF was now in the “heart of Gaza City.“
This is the biggest city and the central area of the Gaza Strip, and is controlled by Hamas, which uses it as its main base.
Gallant added IDF troops and combat engineers moved into the Gaza Strip from the north and south using armored vehicles and tanks.
IDF spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the IDF has hit more than 14-thousand Hamas targets in the region, destroyed more than 100 tunnels, and captured 4-thousand weapons, which he said were hidden in civilian infrastructure.
He reiterated Israel’s stance of no ceasefire, despite international calls for a humanitarian pause in the fighting.
With Israel’s ground offensive in the Gaza Strip becoming official, the United States and Israel have expressed differences over the issue of Palestinian governance after the war.
Washington warned once more against a reoccupation of Gaza, following Netanyahu’s comments that Israel will have “indefinite overall security responsibility“ there.
National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said President Joe Biden still does not believe that the IDF reoccupying Gaza is good for the country.
Kirby said while the U.S. agrees that it’s impossible to go back to the pre-October 6th situation, before Hamas launched its terrorist assault on Israel, the two allies don’t have to agree on all operational strategies.
However, the United States has repeated that it backs Israel’s right to defend itself, and will continue to provide support.
