Israel has initiated a significant military mobilization by calling up 60,000 reservists in preparation for a major offensive on Gaza City. The objective is to gain control over all parts of the city amidst ongoing clashes with Hamas forces.
Current military operations indicate that troops are already present and engaging in certain areas of Gaza City, where intense confrontations continue. Israeli military officials describe this new combat phase as:
- Gradual
- Precise
- Targeted
The reserve call-up aims to reinforce soldiers involved in urban combat and to provide support for other operational responsibilities.
Despite increasing international pressure, including renewed calls for a ceasefire involving truce and hostage exchange negotiations, Israel remains committed to proceeding with the offensive. The Israeli Defence Minister has formally approved the Gaza City conquest plan, which escalates the pressure on Hamas.
Meanwhile, Hamas has shown signs of willingness to compromise due to mounting diplomatic pressure from Arab states. This military operation forms part of a broader escalation within the region, where diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire continue but have not yet led to concrete outcomes from Israel.
The humanitarian situation remains critical as civilian populations face increasing risks from the conflict’s impact. Key global leaders and mediators continue to monitor the situation closely, emphasizing the conflict’s significance as a critical turning point.
