The Israeli army announced that it has begun implementing the plan to "expand and make permanent the occupation in Gaza," which was approved by the security cabinet. In a statement from the Israeli army regarding the attacks on Gaza, it was reported that "the army's units have been mobilized."
COMPREHENSIVE ATTACK INITIATED
The statement indicated that the Israeli army launched comprehensive attacks throughout the day yesterday to expand its occupation in Gaza and seize strategic areas.
The attacks, referred to as "Gideon's Chariots," were claimed to have been initiated to achieve goals such as defeating Hamas with severe attacks since October 7, 2023, and recovering Israeli hostages, which Israel has been unable to accomplish.
It was stated that the Israeli army would continue its attacks in the Gaza Strip.
113 PEOPLE KILLED IN YESTERDAY'S ATTACKS
According to a report by The Times of Israel based on Israeli officials, the attacks signify a permanent occupation of Gaza and the forced displacement of Palestinians to the south of Gaza. The Israeli army had intensified its attacks on the Gaza Strip during U.S. President Donald Trump's Middle East tour. Numerous schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure in the region, as well as the tents of displaced Palestinians, have been targeted by Israeli airstrikes. It was reported that 113 Palestinians lost their lives in the Israeli army's attacks yesterday, which have increased civilian casualties in Gaza.
ISRAEL SECURITY CABINET APPROVED ATTACKS
It was reported that the Israeli security cabinet approved a plan on May 4 to expand and make permanent the occupation in the Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli media, the plan consists of three phases, and if a ceasefire agreement is not reached during the preparation phase, which will last until U.S. President Trump's Middle East tour ends, intense attacks will be launched, and the second phase will involve the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza to the south.
It was noted that unlike previous areas captured by Israeli soldiers during ground attacks, they would not withdraw from these areas and would continue the occupation.
LIBYA CLAIM IN U.S. MEDIA
Meanwhile, a new claim regarding the fate of the Palestinians has emerged in the American media.
According to NBC News, the Trump administration plans to send half of the population in Gaza to Libya.
The report, based on American officials, suggested that the plan aims to permanently resettle approximately 1 million Palestinians in the North African country. It was reported that contact has been made with the Libyan government regarding the plan. Israel has been informed about the matter, but no final agreement has been reached yet.
A denial regarding the claim came from the Washington administration.
President Trump had stated that the United States should seize Gaza and turn the strip into a freedom zone.
