The Israeli army is continuing its "scorched earth" policy to occupy the city of Gaza, which is home to approximately one million Palestinians and covers an area of 56 square kilometers, with ground, air, and naval support. Since early yesterday morning, at least 66 Palestinians have lost their lives in the attacks carried out, including those who were waiting for aid.

The attempt to occupy the city of Gaza, which is one of the significant stages of Israel's genocide war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip that has been ongoing for nearly two years, officially began yesterday.
The Israeli army is intensifying its bombardment of the neighborhoods of Gaza city, particularly targeting the eastern regions along the north and south axes, forcing the remaining Palestinians to evacuate. This is highlighted as part of the invasion plan named "Gideon's Chariots 2," which was initiated in the Zeytun neighborhood in the southeast of the city.
66 PEOPLE HAVE DIED
From the early hours of yesterday morning, the Israeli army increased its attacks coinciding with its declaration of the city as a "dangerous conflict zone."
According to health sources and eyewitnesses, in an Israeli bombardment on an area where civilians gathered on Vahdet Street in the center of Gaza city, 3 Palestinians were killed, and attacks were also carried out around the Sheikh Ridvan area in the north. Additionally, the Israeli army attacked a house in the Zarka area in northeastern Gaza, injuring some Palestinians. In the northwestern "Zikim" area, 9 Palestinians waiting for aid were killed as a result of fire opened by Israel.
In other attacks by Israel on the northern, southern, and central parts of the Gaza Strip, 49 Palestinians, including those waiting for aid, lost their lives. Furthermore, in the latest airstrike targeting a civilian house in the Nuseyrat Refugee Camp in the center of the Gaza Strip, 5 Palestinians were killed.
"ISRAELI SOLDIERS CAPTURED"
The Israeli i24 channel reported that intense clashes were taking place in the outer neighborhoods of the city, accompanied by airstrikes and heavy artillery fire, and that the Israeli army was trying to advance. Meanwhile, on social media, reports of a series of "difficult" security incidents leading to the deaths of Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip have emerged. These reports have not been officially confirmed by the army or Israeli media. Concerns are growing in Israeli political circles that 4 soldiers may have been captured by Palestinian groups.
HANNIBAL PROTOCOL IN EFFECT
Following images reflecting intense helicopter flights, flares, and sounds of conflict, it is assessed that the army may have activated the "Hannibal Protocol." According to the Hannibal protocol, when the possibility of a soldier being captured arises, that area is subjected to intense fire to prevent the risk of capture.
CONDITIONS ARE RAPIDLY DETERIORATING
A Palestinian security source stated to AA that the situation in the eastern parts of Gaza city is rapidly deteriorating. The source reported that the army is intensifying its attacks in the north and south to annex the city, increasing the use of snipers, explosive-laden vehicles, and drones. The Israeli army is also calling on Palestinians to evacuate the area using drones with loudspeakers, noting that during these warnings, civilians have been caught under Israeli fire.
NEIGHBORHOODS HAVE EMPTIED
According to the same source, as a result of two weeks of intense attacks, the Sheikh Ridvan neighborhood of Gaza city has nearly emptied due to large waves of migration. The area around the Abu Iskender junction in the east has been a safe haven for those displaced since the beginning of the war, but the latest attacks have declared it one of the most dangerous areas in Gaza city. In the Nezle, Abu Sharh junction, and Curet es-Saftavi areas, Israeli army vehicles are making limited daily advances, then leaving explosive devices and retreating. Since most Palestinians have fled in Saftavi, entry to the area has become nearly impossible.
"GIDEON'S CHARIOTS 2" OPERATION
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz approved the "Gideon's Chariots 2 Operation," aimed at occupying Gaza city, on August 21. The operation followed extensive attacks initiated in the Zeytun neighborhood and extending to the Sabra neighborhood. Simultaneously, the Israeli army launched an operation in the north of Gaza city, covering the neighborhoods of Jabalia al-Balad, en-Nezle, es-Saftavi, and Sheikh Ridvan. The Israeli army has also been targeting densely populated areas east of Sheikh Ridvan for several days. They are hitting Palestinians with drone fire, residential bombings, and direct attacks on civilians. Since the beginning of August, more than 1,500 homes have been destroyed in Zeytun due to Israeli attacks.
DESTRUCTION WITH EXPLOSIVE ROBOTS
The Israeli army is attacking facilities and infrastructure by converting armored personnel carriers loaded with tons of explosives into booby-trapped robots.

These robots are placed around the residences and detonated, causing widespread destruction hundreds of meters away. The sounds of explosions can be heard from kilometers away. During the genocide, the east of Sheikh Ridvan had been a refuge for thousands of displaced families. However, those caught under heavy fire were forced to flee to the west or south of Gaza.
PLAN TO STOP HUMANITARIAN AID
Israeli state television KAN announced yesterday morning that Israel is preparing to stop air-dropping humanitarian aid to the city of Gaza in the coming days. This step is said to aim to force hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee south before the expected ground assault.
INCREASING DISPLACEMENT
During the process coinciding with intense clashes in the east, north, and south of the city of Gaza, Palestinians were forced to flee dangerous areas under tragic conditions, while dozens were left to sleep on the streets of the city's western bank. Despite many hours passing since their displacement, Palestinians are unable to find shelter or tents after leaving their homes and tents in northern Gaza. Due to transportation difficulties and worsening economic conditions, many Palestinians cannot afford the cost of migrating to the southern regions of the Gaza Strip.
FEARS OF INCREASED ATTACKS
Palestinians are concerned that the life crisis caused by famine and displacement will worsen due to the lack of basic needs for life and survival, and that Israeli attacks will intensify in the coming days.
OCCUPATION PLAN APPROVED ON AUGUST 8
The Israeli government approved on August 8 a plan proposed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, aiming to gradually reoccupy the entire Gaza Strip starting from the city of Gaza. Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with U.S. support, has been implementing genocidal policies such as massacre, famine, destruction, and forced displacement in Gaza, ignoring all international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to stop the operation. As a result of the genocide, 63,025 Palestinians have lost their lives, 159,490 have been injured, most of whom are children and women, over 9,000 are missing, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced, facing ongoing famine that has claimed the lives of 322 Palestinians, including 121 children.
