ISRAELI ARMY HAS TAKEN CONTROL OF GAZA
Continuing its attacks in Gaza under the watchful eyes of the world, Israel has expanded its occupation plan. Israeli Army Spokesperson Effie Defrin announced that the first phase of the occupation plan for Gaza has begun. According to the plan, the Israeli army has taken control of Gaza and its surroundings.
DEFENSE MINISTER APPROVED THE PLAN
It was announced that Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz approved the occupation plan for the city of Gaza presented to him by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir. According to a report by The Times of Israel, after a meeting held last night with Chief of Staff Zamir and army officials regarding the occupation of the city of Gaza, Minister Katz approved the army's occupation plan this morning.
1 MILLION PALESTINIANS WILL BE DISPLACED TO THE SOUTH
It was reported that Defense Minister Katz also approved preparations for the displacement of approximately 1 million Palestinians to the southern region as part of the city's occupation plan.
THE NAME OF THE PLAN IS "GIDEON'S CHARIOTS II"
The attacks on the city of Gaza have been named "Gideon's Chariots II." After breaking the ceasefire on March 18, Israel had launched attacks named "Gideon's Chariots" on May 17 to expand and make the occupation of the Gaza Strip permanent.
60,000 RESERVE SOLDIERS CALLED TO DUTY
According to a report by Israeli state television KAN, the Israeli army, which is preparing for the occupation of the city of Gaza, has decided to call up 60,000 reserve soldiers. Following the presentation of the occupation plan for the city of Gaza by Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir to Defense Minister Yisrael Katz last night, it was decided that in the coming days, 60,000 reserve soldiers will be mobilized.
It was noted that not all of the reserve soldiers called to duty are expected to participate in the attacks on the city of Gaza, but if the occupation attacks continue, the number of reserve soldiers in the army is expected to rise to 130,000. This decision came after a meeting where Defense Minister Katz discussed the occupation plan for the city of Gaza with Chief of Staff Zamir and army officials.
ISRAEL HAD DECIDED TO OCCUPY THE CITY OF GAZA
The Israeli Security Cabinet approved a plan for the occupation of the city of Gaza in the northern region on August 8. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated in an interview before the cabinet meeting that they aim to occupy the entire Gaza Strip. Reports in the Israeli press indicated that the army had received orders to occupy the rest of Gaza, but this step was not expected to be implemented before September.
According to the plan, in the first phase, approximately one million Palestinians will be displaced to the south, the city will be besieged, and after intense attacks, it will be occupied. In the second phase, the occupation of the refugee camps in the center of Gaza, which has largely been turned into ruins, is foreseen.
Israel occupied the Gaza Strip for 38 years from 1967 to 2005. Today, the Gaza Strip, where approximately 2.4 million Palestinians live, has been under a severe blockade for 18 years.
