Israel will use "unprecedented force" in its offensive against Gaza City

The Israeli Army has warned on Friday that it will use "unprecedented force" in its offensive to try to capture the city of Gaza, and has therefore again urged the population to withdraw at a time when attacks are intensifying.

"The Israeli Defense Forces (FDI) will continue to work against Hamas and other terrorist organizations with unprecedented force," Israeli Army spokesman Avichai Adrai said in a message posted on the X social network.

Thus, "From this moment on, the Saladin Road will be closed to travel south," so that "only from Rashid will the road be open." "For your safety, seize the opportunity, and join the hundreds of thousands of inhabitants of the city who have gone south. Don't let Hamas use you as a human shield, "he said.

Hamas stressed on Tuesday that the Israeli offensive against Gaza City "is yetanother chapter in this war and systematic ethnic cleansing "that is" deepening the humanitarian disaster. "

Since 7 October 2023, more than 65,100 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli incursions into the Gaza Strip, according to the Gazatese authorities.
