The offensive, dubbed Gideon’s Chariots, reportedly aims to ‘conquer’ the entire Palestinian enclave from Hamas.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have announced a new bombing campaign in the Gaza Strip aimed at defeating Hamas. The offensive comes after a ceasefire brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar expired in March.
“Over the past day, the IDF launched extensive attacks and mobilized forces to seize strategic areas in the Gaza Strip, as part of the opening moves of Operation Gideon’s Chariots and the expansion of the campaign in Gaza,” the military said in a statement on Friday evening.
The IDF reiterated its goals of securing the release of the remaining hostages and achieving “the defeat of Hamas.”
“IDF troops in the Southern Command will continue to operate to protect Israeli citizens and realize the goals of the war,” the Israeli army added.
According to The Times of Israel, the IDF aims to “conquer” Gaza, relocate the Palestinian population to the southern part of the enclave, and prevent “terror groups” from seizing humanitarian aid.
Al Jazeera reports that at least 115 Palestinians have been killed since dawn on Friday.
במהלך היממה האחרונה צה”ל החל בתקיפות נרחבות והניע כוחות לתפיסת שטחים שולטים בשטח רצועת עזה, זאת כחלק ממהלכי הפתיחה למבצע “מרכבות גדעון” והרחבת המערכה בעזה, להשגת כל מטרות המלחמה בעזה, לרבות שחרור החטופים והכרעת החמאס.

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas broke down in March after the sides failed to agree on implementing the second phase of the truce.
They could have called the campaign “Operation Ethic Cleansing”, because that’s what it is.
Back to destroying buildings and killing women and children then.
Just their usual……what they do best…..it really disgusts me
There is a huge natural gas field off the coast of Gaza and Israel. October 7 was obviously a false flag operation to kickstart the eviction of Palestinians so Israel can have full control of the gas field.
It would not surprise me if Mossad blew up the NordStream pipeline in pursuit of Israeli interests to provide natural gas to Europe in the future.
Plus they want to build the Ben Guiron canal.
As a side note – do people realise Benjamin Netanyahus real name?
“When Netanyahu’s father immigrated to Mandatory Palestine, he hebraized his surname from “Mileikowsky” to “Netanyahu”, meaning “God has given.” While his family is predominantly Ashkenazi, he has said that a DNA test revealed him to have some Sephardic ancestry.”
Are people aware he went to school in America?
Just doing what needs to be done to protect their border. Just remember who started this whole war.
Why the End of the Israel Is Set in Stone.

Please enlighten us – who? In my mind it’s the people behind the creation of the state of Israel in 1947. If not for that, all the Christians Arabs and Jews would be living together – probably in peace.
So yeah ask yourself who was behind the Balfour declaration and that will tell you the REAL reason Israel was created.
For that matter look who funds Hamas…..
yea, the nakba …
You can’t justify the murder of civilians……incinerating people entering a hospital one example…..
How anyone can defend Israel is beyond me. There are many in this country who need to WAKE THE F UP. Also where do you think Israel will send the. Palestinians once they drive the ones they haven’t already killed out? You guessed it, any country with a majority of ‘white’ people.
Can you see it now?
Pure genocide.
Those defending Israel, in my view, have really given up their humanity and are now some form of lesser beings…..and yes it will see displaced people come to other nations, such as AU and NZ. A lot of taxi drivers in Sydney are Palestinian. Most I spoke to, were highly educated and frankly, nice people. Sadly, we have govts that slyly support, what is happening. Just look at the heavy handed so called anti s emetic speech laws in AU, under the shifty Labr govt, really designed to quell legitimate criticism of Israel.
I have a good friend who i have known for 40+ years, who has always been a staunch defender of Israel. Even he has had a gutsful of their barbaric slaughter and lies and bull**** now. Destroyjng whole city blocks containing woman and children to “find Hamas”. I never thought I would see the day that he would turn against Israel.
His humanity is shining through, refusing to be suppressed by the British Zionist construct masquerading as Israel.
