Second phase of Gaza war could be difficult: Israel

Gaza: Israeli authorities stated that the war in Gaza has entered a second phase that could be difficult.

According to an Israeli government spokesman, Israel is entering a new phase of its war in Gaza, where it considers the war to be militarily difficult. However, Israel is also trying to minimize civilian casualties in its effort to eliminate Hamas.

According to Arab media, Israel has launched an operation in the Hamas-controlled areas of the Gaza Strip, where the population of about 01 million refugees from the northern regions has increased.

On the other hand, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has announced to take over the security of Gaza after the war.

The Israeli Prime Minister said that after the end of the war with Hamas, the Israeli army will continue to control the security of Gaza.

Netanyahu ruled out handing over the responsibility to a foreign force, saying he would not cede control of Gaza to an international force after the war, and that it should be a ‘country without an army’ once the conflict is over.

It is pertinent to note that the total number of Palestinian martyrs, including more than 7,000 children, has exceeded 16,000, while the number of injured has exceeded 43,600 as a result of the inhumane Israeli operations in Gaza since October 07.
