The Israeli Defense Forces (FDI) held on Monday (8) a bombing that destroyed a 12-story office building in the city of Gaza, the fourth four-day attack promoted by the Israelis against high buildings in the Enclave capital.
The government of Premier Benjamin Netanyahu claims that high buildings in the city of Gaza are being used by Hamas as observation points. The terrorist group denies and says that the buildings have civil use.
In a message at X shortly before Monday’s attack, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz used the term “Hurricane Storm” to refer to the offensive, which consists of attacks on high buildings followed by an Earth’s operation, which FDIs expect to be the final blow to Hamas.
“Today, a huge storm of Hurricane will hit the skies of the city of Gaza and the roofs of the terror control towers will tremble. This is one last warning to Hamas killers and rapists in Gaza and luxury hotels abroad: free the hostages and testify your weapons – or Gaza will be destroyed and you will be destroyed,” Katz wrote.
“The FDIs are still as planned and prepare to expand the maneuver to master Gaza,” said the minister.
Residents of Torre Sousi, a 15 -story building destroyed by Israeli bombing over the weekend, claimed to the Associated Press agency that the Israeli army gave them 20 minutes to catch their belongings and flee before the attack.
On Monday, Netanyahu warned that Israel’s attacks on high buildings in the city of Gaza are “just a prelude” of the Earthly Operation planned by the FDI.
“All of this is just an introduction, a prelude, to the main and powerful operation: an earthly maneuver of our forces, which are now organizing and gathering in the city of Gaza,” Netanyahu said in a video message shared by his office.
In the message, Netanyahu guided the Palestinians in the Enclave capital to leave the area. “We warned them, get out of there,” said the prime minister.
In early August, the Israeli government approved a plan proposed by Netanyahu to occupy the city of Gaza in northern Enclave and move its residents south.
At that time, about 1 million Palestinians were sheltered in the city, many of them displaced from other parts of the enclave by war.
According to Netanyahu, about 100,000 Palestinians have already left the city in the face of the Israeli offensive, although the UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is the number by about 40,000.
