The "Gideon 2" operation plan, approved by Israeli Defense Minister Katz a month ago, has now been fully launched.Five divisions and tens of thousands of horses are gathered outside Gaza, directing to the central area of Gaza.
The scale of the operation is unprecedented and the goal is to completely eradicate Hamas.In the past few days, Gaza City has been continuously bombed, buildings have collapsed, streets have become ruins, infrastructure has been completely paralyzed, and civilians have been struggling to escape among the ruins.
The Israeli Defense Army has deployed five divisions of troops to gather outside the Gaza Strip.Each division was governed by 12 brigade operational units, including a number of advanced forces such as infantry, armor, artillery and labor force.
The mobilization was enormous, and Israel also recalled about 60,000 reserve troops. The reserves will consist of three brigades and multiple camps, including key functions such as intelligence collection and logistics security.
Zamir, chief of general staff of the Israeli army, has entered the war zone. Two divisions of troops are fighting in Gaza City, and the operation has expanded into the heart of the city. The Israel Defense Forces claimed to have controlled 40 percent of Gaza City.
According to the United Nations, within a week, Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to move south, but a large number of people remain in the city.Israel says 250,000 people have evacuated from Gaza.
Gaza City’s infrastructure has been completely paralyzed, and civilians are struggling to escape among the ruins. While the Israeli military has approved the relevant humanitarian preparations, it plans to provide emergency support to the 1 million Palestinian civilians expected to be evacuated.
The Israeli Defense Army has allowed tents and shelter equipment to enter the Gaza Strip, and plans to set up several aid distribution points and at least two field hospitals in the south. But these measures are far from mitigating the humanitarian crisis caused by massive military operations.
On September 9, Israel dispatched more than 10 fighter planes and launched 10 missiles to raid the northern area of Doha, the capital of Qatar. The target is the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) who lives there.
At the time of the attack, the Hamas leadership was holding a meeting to discuss the "ceasefire plan" proposed by the United States.The Israeli missiles precisely hit the Hamas negotiating delegation.
The attack resulted in the deaths of five Hamas people and the death of a Qatari security forces soldier.The son of senior Hamas official Khalil Haya and his chief of staff were killed in the attack.
Qatar's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned the Israeli attacks, saying Israeli actions violated international law. Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed said that he received a phone call from the US only 10 minutes after the attack.
UN Secretary-General Guterres strongly condemned Israel's attack, saying it was a flagrant violation of Qatar's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Yemen and other Middle Eastern countries have also voiced their condemnation of Israel's actions.
U.S. President Trump said on his "real social" that it was the decision of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, not his decision. White House Press Secretary Levitt said the U.S. had informed Qatar in advance, but Qatar denied this claim.
On September 17, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Mr. Karas, announced a series of sanctions against Israel. This includes a partial suspension of trade-related matters in the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The new measures mean that Israeli goods will be subject to tariffs according to the standard of not signing a free trade agreement with the EU. The EU is Israel's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade volume of about 42.6 billion euros last year.
These sanctions are in response to Israel's escalation of military operations in Gaza, blockade of humanitarian aid, and advancement of so-called settlement construction in the West Bank. The sanctions also include two Israeli ministers and violent settlers and 10 members of Hamas.
China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Lin Swed, said at a routine press conference on September 17, China firmly opposes Israel's escalation of military operations in Gaza and condemns all acts that harm civilians and violate international law.
The sword emphasizes: “We urge Israel to face the strong call of the international community to stop its military operations in Gaza immediately, to a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire as soon as possible and to prevent a wider humanitarian crisis.”
China is deeply worried about the further escalation of tension and opposes relevant parties adding fuel to the fire. It is hoped that all parties concerned will put regional peace and stability first, uphold a fair stance and a responsible attitude, and play a constructive role in promoting the cooling of the situation.
Israel's attack on Qatar broke the previous "tacit understanding".Qatar is not only a key mediator of the Palestinian-Israeli issue, but also a key ally of the United States in the Middle East.
The Udeid military base, an important US military base in the Middle East, is located in the southern outskirts of Doha. This attack raises questions about the effectiveness of American security guarantees.
Countries in the region have been concerned about becoming the next target of Israel’s attack. The Arab world's anger at Israel's actions is accumulating, which may have a profound impact on the entire Middle East.
Israel’s direct attack on Hamas’s negotiating team indicates that it is reluctant to accept negotiations and does not intend to change its stance on destroying Hamas. The main target of the Israeli attack was Khalil Haya, a senior Hamas official and chief negotiator.
The EU’s sanctions scheme needs approval from at least 15 of the 27 member states and covers at least 65% of the EU population to come into effect. Germany’s attitude is critical, as the country has been reluctant to implement EU-level sanctions against Israel.
More Western countries have changed their political stance on the issue of Pakistan. France, Britain, Canada, Australia and other countries have announced that they will recognize the Palestinian state at the 80th UN General Assembly in September.
The Israeli military said it has controlled 40 percent of the area of Gaza City and will continue to advance military operations.
Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland and Slovenia have said they will withdraw from the event if Israel participates in the European Song Contest next year.
For two days in a row, China called for an immediate ceasefire, emphasizing the need to protect civilians and support the legitimate demands of the Palestinian people.
