The Director General of the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, Munir al-Burş, stated that the Israeli army has killed 1,100 Palestinians in Gaza city in 20 days.
Burş said, "More than 1,100 people have lost their lives in the ongoing attacks of the Israeli army in Gaza city since August 13, and 6,008 people have been injured." He reported that the Israeli army's attacks began from the northern areas of Jabalia al-Balad and Nezle, and later expanded towards the Sheikh Ridwan neighborhood in the northwest of Gaza city and the Zeytun and Sabra neighborhoods in the east, reaching the vicinity of Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital. Burş noted that the Israeli army has destroyed thousands of homes and buildings, targeted health centers like the Sheikh Ridwan Clinic, and destroyed ambulances.
"THEY CONTINUE TO MISLEAD THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WITH LIES"
Burş drew attention to the fact that thousands of Palestinians have been forcibly displaced due to the Israeli attacks, emphasizing that the local population is in very difficult conditions under severe food and medicine shortages. He stated, "The occupying Israel continues to mislead the international community with lies to legitimize the genocide it is carrying out against defenseless civilians."
ISRAEL HAD DECIDED TO OCCUPY GAZA CITY
The Israeli Security Cabinet approved a plan for the occupation of Gaza city in the north of the region on August 8. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stated in an interview before the cabinet meeting that they aimed 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 1 million Palestinians will be moved south, the city will be besieged, and after intense attacks, it will be occupied. The second phase envisions the occupation of the refugee camps in the center of Gaza, which has largely been turned into ruins.
Israel had occupied the Gaza Strip for 38 years from 1967 to 2005. Today, the Gaza Strip, where approximately 2.3 million Palestinians live, has been under a severe blockade for 18 years.
