120 days have passed since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas. In the middle of winter, the Palestinian population is threatened by famine and Gaza is in ruins. Reporting.
In the south of Israel, along the Gaza Strip, France 2 journalists are transported by army vehicles. The area presents little risk of being targeted according to the IDF. “We are not afraid, we are soldiers, we are trained“, says a man. In the west of Gaza, ruins follow one another. Israeli forces unwittingly set up a buffer zone one kilometer deep, where no buildings remain.
Massive destruction
As explosions rang out, an Israeli soldier clarified that these were units carrying out controlled explosions of houses with mortars and other explosives. In one camp, Israeli artillerymen set up with their cannons. In Khan Younes, where the destruction is massive, the IDF has forged passages. According to the army, Hamas could retaliate at any time.
