Viral video shows Israeli soldiers blowing up Gaza building to reveal the baby's gender, making the internet angry
On Monday, May 5, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet approved a new military plan to complete control of the Gaza Strip. According to the Associated Press (AP), the plan involved capturing all Gaza in Gaza and sticking with it indefinitely.
The move could lead to global criticism, as it reportedly includes the convening of thousands of reserve soldiers. Israel said the plan was necessary to defeat Hamas and rescue hostages and was believed to have been held in Gaza.
However, the plan also recommends the relocation of thousands of Palestinians to southern Gaza, which has raised serious concerns about forced displacement and exacerbated an already serious humanitarian crisis.
A defense source told the Associated Press that the plan may not be implemented immediately and may be postponed until later this month after U.S. President Donald Trump's expected visit to the Middle East. This may mean a temporary halt in the battle. Hundreds of people were killed in Gaza due to a truce in Hamas in mid-March and Israel stepped up its military attacks. Israeli forces now report control about 50% of the territory. Observers say this turns conflict into one of the worst humanitarian crises in recent history in the region.
