Israel Prepares for Major Offensive on Gaza City, Mobilizes 60,000 Reservists
In a significant escalation of military action, Israel has announced the mobilization of 60,000 reservists ahead of an anticipated offensive on Gaza City. The Israeli military has confirmed that preparations for the assault are in full swing, with plans to displace a large number of Palestinians in the area as attacks intensify. The move comes despite ongoing talks of a ceasefire and widespread reports of civilians fleeing the city amid fears of imminent violence. Israeli Defense Minister has approved the takeover plan, as residents of Gaza City brace for potential displacement and worsening humanitarian conditions. Critics are raising concerns about the humanitarian impact of the operation, and protests against the military actions have begun to surface within Israel. As the situation develops, the international community watches closely amid allegations of potential war crimes.
