Israel has sent all its main brigades to Gaza - military activity has increased

Israel has begun to further expand its military operations against Hamas. According to The Times of Israel, the country’s defense army has deployed all its regular infantry and armored brigades to the Gaza Strip. This indicates a sharp increase in military activity in the area.

Currently, in addition to key brigades such as Golani, Givati, Commando, and Kfir, additional reserve forces have also been sent to Gaza. This move comes on the eve of a new phase in Israel’s campaign. Previously, five divisions made up of tens of thousands of soldiers were operating in the region.

Number of attacks and casualties is growing

On May 24, the Israeli army announced it had carried out airstrikes on more than 100 targets. It stated that the attacks were focused on infrastructure used by Hamas. However, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported that more than 80 people were killed as a result. It should be noted that since March 18, when Israel escalated its attacks, the total death toll in the sector has reached 3,747.

Netanyahu’s goal: full military control

Israel’s broad military actions aim to free hostages and respond to Hamas’s attack in the fall of 2023. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly stated that he intends to establish full military control over the entire territory of Gaza.

Sharp changes in international relations

Alongside the military operations, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to worsen rapidly. This has had a significant impact on international relations. The European Union has announced it will reconsider its ties with Israel. The United Kingdom, Canada, and France have openly threatened Israel with sanctions.

The complex situation in the Gaza Strip continues to escalate, increasing the risk of a new phase of military confrontation in the region. Israel explains its actions as being in the name of security and strategic goals, while the international community expresses deep concern over civilian lives and humanitarian issues. Now the whole world is closely watching the developments in Gaza’s increasingly tense skies.
