Three months after the October 7 attack on its soil, Israel continues to increase strikes on the Gaza Strip. The West Bank is not spared. The international community also fears that Lebanon could be drawn into the conflict.
In the Gaza Strip, scenes of bombing have become commonplace. In Rafah, the car of two Palestinian journalists was hit on Sunday January 7. They are deceased. Hundreds of strikes have been carried out by the Israeli army on the enclave for three months. The IDF assured on Sunday that it had finished dismantling Hamas in the north of the territory. “We have struck and will continue to strike to ensure our success in these territories. It takes time. There are no shortcuts to fighting terror.”declared Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari.
Israel targets Hezbollah military infrastructure
Israel is also continuing its operations in the occupied West Bank. On Sunday morning, a raid in Jenin left six people dead. An Israeli was also killed by the army north of Ramallah. The international community now fears that the conflict could spread abroad. “It is imperative to avoid regional escalation in the Middle East. It is absolutely necessary to prevent Lebanon from being drawn into regional conflict”, declared Josep Borrell, head of diplomacy of the European Union. On Wednesday January 3, Israel already fired on the Lebanese capital Beirut to eliminate Hamas number 2, and is now targeting Hezbollah’s military infrastructure.
