Israel has called up 60,000 reservists ahead of a planned offensive in Gaza City, as tensions escalate in the region. The decision comes after a recent surge in violence between Israeli forces and Palestinian militant groups.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the mobilization of the reservists, stating it is part of an effort to enhance its capabilities and be prepared for any scenario. The move signals a significant escalation in the conflict and raises concerns about the potential for a large-scale military operation in Gaza City.
On the other side, Hamas, the militant group in control of Gaza, condemned the Israeli decision, calling it a “dangerous escalation” that threatens the lives of civilians. Hamas has vowed to defend the Palestinian territory against any Israeli aggression.
The international community has expressed growing concern over the deteriorating situation, with calls for both sides to exercise restraint and seek a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The United Nations has urged for the protection of civilians and the need to de-escalate the violence before it spirals out of control.
The escalation in tensions follows weeks of clashes in Jerusalem, including protests over the potential eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood. The situation further deteriorated during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, with violent confrontations between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.
As the situation continues to unfold, the world watches closely to see how events will progress in the region and whether efforts for peace can prevail amidst the escalating violence.
