Israel bombed the center of Gaza City on Tuesday and expanded a massive mobilization of reservists, vowing punishing retaliation against the militant Hamas group, which increasingly left residents of the small Palestinian territory with nowhere to go.
Four days after militants stormed into Israel, bringing gun battles to the streets for the first time in decades, the Israeli army said Tuesday morning it had regained effective control of the south and the border.
The war has already claimed at least 1,600 lives on both sides – and perhaps many hundreds more. Israel has also said that Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza are also holding more than 150 soldiers and civilians hostage.
The conflict is only expected to escalate from here. Israel expanded its mobilization of reservists to 360,000 on Tuesday, according to the country’s media.
And a key question is whether the country will launch a ground offensive against Gaza – a small strip of land wedged between Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea, home to 2.3 million people and ruled by Hamas since 2007.
As U.N. agencies called for a humanitarian corridor to bring in medical supplies, the Israeli army said it hit hundreds of targets overnight in Gaza City’s Rimal neighborhood, an upscale area where ministries of the Hamas-led government are based. established, as well as universities. media organizations and the offices of aid organizations.
After hours of non-stop attacks, residents left their homes at dawn to find some buildings torn in half by airstrikes and others reduced to piles of concrete and rebar. Cars were razed to the ground and trees burned in residential streets that were transformed into moonscapes.
The destruction in Rimal signaled what could be a new Israeli tactic: warning civilians to leave certain areas and then hitting those areas with unprecedented intensity. If these airstrikes continue, Gaza’s citizens will have fewer and fewer shelters as more and more neighborhoods become uninhabitable.
Israel’s top military spokesman emphasized the unprecedented nature of the current campaign, saying that “all options are on the table.”
