According to Palestinian sources, some hostages are kept in houses, while others have been moved to tents.
At the same time, the Hamas group prepares a so-called “ambush of legitimacy” in the city of Gaza, a strategy that aims to exploit civil victims to increase international pressure on Israel, so that it renounces the terrestrial offensive, the Israeli channel said.
According to the same account, Hamas makes efforts to keep the inhabitants in the north of the Gaza strip and thus block their evacuation to the south. The group was used by both threats and media campaigns to urge the population of Gaza to remain in their homes, including resorting to acts of violence against those who wanted to leave.
Gaza town, under increasing pressure from Israel
IDF has intensified its attacks on Gaza in recent days, hitting over 500 military targets, including tall buildings that they claim have been transformed into Hamas infrastructure. Among the targets were offices that would be used for information and supervision, as well as observation stations in civil neighborhoods.
Before an imminent terrestrial operation, the Israeli army issued evacuation order for vast sections of the city. The civilians in areas such as the port of Gaza and the south of the city of Al-Irimal were trained to go to the south, to the designated humanitarian areas such as Khan Yunis and Al-Mawasi. According to UN estimates cited in Israeli reports, over 280,000 inhabitants of Gaza have already fled from the city of Gaza following these warnings.
Hamas called new commanders
Kan News also reported that Hamas named several higher commanders to coordinate the ground fights. According to Palestinian sources, the four personalities are Izz al-Din Haddad, the head of the military wings; Raed Saad, the head of the Operations Division; Muhammad Odeh, the head of the intelligence services; And Mohand Rajab, higher commander in the Gaza Brigade.
