The situation in Gaza has changed.
This time, Palestine and Israel were able to cease fire, and the United States 'mediation in the middle played a role. On October 9th, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Israeli troops began withdrawing from western Gaza, while 200 American soldiers moved into Gaza.
But a clear ceasefire does not mean a real peace.The Israeli Defense Army says that its troops are not actively attacking in the Gaza area, but are only guarding the areas already occupied.
Everybody hopes that peace can really come, if possible and against the desire.。After the ceasefire agreement came into effect, thousands of Hamas militants suddenly appeared across Gaza.
The BBC that Hamas immediately mobilized 7,000 people and appointed five new military commanders to regain control of the Gaza area after the Israeli troops withdrew.
On October 9, a mediator in the Israeli conflict said that the Israeli and Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) had reached a consensus on all the terms and ways of implementing the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
The agreement includes a lot, such as the immediate opening of all border crossings to allow humanitarian supplies to enter Gaza。 Hamas will release 20 Israelis they captured, Israel will also release about 2,000 Palestinians in custody, and so on.
According to the agreement, the release of hostages will begin within 72 hours after the Israeli government agrees to the agreement, and the Israeli army needs to retreat to the previously agreed position within 24 hours after the government agrees to the agreement.
The ceasefire came into effect a few hours later, and Hamas quickly began to take action to regain control of all parts of Gaza, setting up checkpoints, fighting with some armed groups they didn’t deal with, and searching for those they thought were “international rapists.”
Hamas did so because they were “trapped” in the previous Gaza war.。Several Gaza armed factions opposed to Hamas actively contacted the Israeli army and became "leading parties" for the Israeli army to fight Hamas militants.
British media reported that Hamas had executed 10 "traitors" who helped Israel during the war. It is also reported that Hamas even executed 15 people from a family named Dagmash.
More than 7,000 Hamas members who came out at once also exposed dozens of hidden bases to hidden intruders.
The location information was quickly reported to the Israeli armyHamas doesn’t know how many pro-Israeli “insiders” there are in the Gaza Strip, nor is it possible to get them all out in a short time.
These hidden Israeli intelligence personnel are like ticking time bombs, ready to provide real-time intelligence on Hamas to the Israeli army at any time.
Unexpectedly, the Israeli army did not seem to fully abide by the ceasefire agreement, but immediately dispatched fighter jets to bomb the remaining Hamas strongholds.
Although the ceasefire has been officially announced, the Israeli army continues to carry out airstrikes in the Gaza Strip, destroying some of the local facilities.
The bombed facilities have been identified as being linked to underground Hamas facilitiesIsraeli Defense Minister Katz said on October 12 that he had ordered the Israeli Defense Forces to prepare to destroy all Hamas tunnels in the Gaza Strip.
He also said that the main issue Israel faces after the hostage exchange is completed is the destruction of all Hamas’ underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip.
The complex tunnel system underground in Gaza is an important support for Hamas armed forces. These tunnels not only provide hiding places for Hamas personnel, but also become important channels for them to conduct transportation and launch attacks.
Israel has repeatedly said it has destroyed most of Hamas’s tunnels and armed bases.But Gaza’s tunnel network is so complex that it cannot be completely destroyed.
During the ceasefire, Hamas will definitely step up the repair and expansion of the ground network in order to continue to confront the Israeli army.
High-ranking Hamas official and chief negotiating representative, Khalil Ha'a, issued a statement on the evening of October 9 announcing a ceasefire agreement.This is the first public statement by a Hamas negotiating delegation since the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza was confirmed.
Khalil Haya said Hamas has received assurances from middlemen, including the United States, that "the war in Gaza is over".
Palestinian President Abbas welcomed the agreement and hoped it would lay the foundation for a lasting political solution for peace in the region.
But in the streets of Gaza, the voices of Israeli military aircraft were heard again, and in the underground tunnels of Hamas, repairs and reinforcements were ongoing.
Israeli Defense Minister Katz made it clear that he had ordered the army to prepare to destroy all Hamas tunnels in Gaza.
This ceasefire was like a brief break in the war.The secret war underground, I fear, will continue until the last bullet breaks the silence of Gaza, like the calm before the storm, behind a brief ceasefire, hides a bigger crisis.
The rapid buildup of Hamas and subsequent Israeli air strikes all indicate that the conflict is far from over. Both sides are gathering strength to prepare for the next round of contest.
The fate of the people of Gaza is still in the air, and the hope for peace is still small, hoping that the international community can really play a role in pushing both sides back to the negotiating table and find a path to peaceful coexistence.
Only by force alone can we not solve the problem, only the seeds of hatred grow more and more.A truly lasting peace requires both sides’ understanding and compromise, and requires the joint efforts of the international community.
