ISRAEL HAD DECIDED TO INVADE GAZA CITY
The Israeli Security Cabinet had approved the plan to invade the city of Gaza in the north of the region on August 8. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had stated in an interview before the cabinet meeting that they aimed to occupy the entire Gaza Strip.
The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation KAN had also reported that the army was preparing to accelerate the military operation aimed at invading the city of Gaza. Reports in the Israeli press indicated that the army had received orders to invade the rest of Gaza, but it was not expected that this step would be implemented before September.
According to the plan, in the first phase, the city of Gaza will be invaded, approximately one million Palestinians will be moved south, the city will be besieged, and intense attacks will be carried out. In the second phase, the invasion of the refugee camps in the center of Gaza, which has largely turned into ruins, is foreseen. Israel had 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.
