Israeli Defense Forces Target Southern Gaza in Effort to Destroy Hamas

The Israeli Defense Forces spokesperson has stated that the southern part of Gaza will suffer the same fate as the decimated north, as the military intensifies its campaign to destroy Hamas. Over one million people have fled to the major cities in southern Gaza, which will be targeted with the same ferocity as the north. Despite severe shortages of food, water, and medicine, aid delivery remains challenging due to the ongoing fighting. The Israeli military has designated a "safe zone" in a small coastal strip, but there are limitations on space and infrastructure. The renewed airstrikes have already resulted in the deaths of at least 100 Palestinians, and the destruction of Gaza City has been described as apocalyptic. Israel justifies its bombing campaign as necessary to eliminate Hamas, even if it means destroying the homes and infrastructure of two million civilians confined to a small area.
