The Israeli Palestinian Conflict dates back to the late 19th century, when Zionists tried to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine under Ottoman rule. Jewish immigrants arrived in the area in a large number as a result of the British Government’s 1917 Balfour Declaration, which supported the idea of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Israel was founded in 1948 as a result of increased international demand for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine Following World War 2nd and the Holocaust. A protracted struggle between Israel and the Palestinian people was caused by the creation of Israel and the wars that preceded and followed it, which resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. In at least a portion of historic Palestine, the Palestinians aim to create their own sovereign state. This objective is currently out of reach due to Israeli border defense, Palestinian internal politics, Israeli rule over the West Bank, the Egyptian Israeli embargo of the Gaza strip, and Israeli authority over the Israeli-occupied territory.
At present, Israel is facing bombardment from three sides – Hamas attacking from Gaza, clashes with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, and artillery fire from Syria. While the situation with Lebanon and Syria has yet to break out into full-scale conflict, the situation remains tense for Israel.
Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus said the country Israel aims to strip Hamas, of all its military capabilities. He noted that Israeli Defence Forces will continue to operate with significant force in Gaza, adding that they aim to minimize the damage to civilians. Sharing an operational update, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said, “Hamass are hiding in Gaza City inside tunnels, underneath houses, and inside buildings populated with innocent Gaza civilians. Civilians of Gaza City, evacuate south for your own safety and the safety of your families and distance yourself from Hamass who are using you as human shields…. In the following days, the IDF will continue to operate with significant force in Gaza City and will make extensive efforts to sorry to avoid harming civilians.”
The Israeli government is under intense public pressure to topple Hamas after its militants stormed through a border fence and killed hundreds of Israelis in their homes, on the streets, and at an outdoor music festival. In the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, residents are facing ever-growing uncertainty after the territory’s only power plant ran out of fuel and shut down. Without power, communication is limited and information is scarce.
Hamas on Friday reportedly told people living in northern Gaza not to leave their homes amid Israel’s ultimatum. Earlier on Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) called on all civilians in Gaza City to evacuate “southwards” as it continues to bombard the Hamas-controlled enclave in response to the brutal October 7 assault on the Jewish nation by the militant group. “The IDF calls for the evacuation of all civilians of Gaza City from their homes southwards for their own safety and protection and move to the area south of the Wadi Gaza,” a news agency quoted an official statement issued by the IDF as saying.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that the health system in the Gaza Strip is at a breaking point. A release issued by the WHO said that time is running out to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe if fuel and life-saving health and humanitarian supplies cannot be urgently delivered to the Gaza Strip. Hospitals have only a few hours of electricity each day as they are forced to ration depleting fuel reserves and rely on generators to sustain the most critical functions.
