New Operation to Take Over Gaza City by Israel

August 20, 2025

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a faster takeover of Hamas strongholds in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military has already begun operations around Gaza City and controls its outskirts. This move raises concerns about the potential displacement of thousands of Palestinians. Despite international criticism, the Defense Minister has ordered the mobilization of 60,000 reservists. The situation suggests that negotiations for a ceasefire are ongoing, offering a possible delay in military actions.
