Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Katz stated that Israeli forces will not withdraw from Gaza until the Hamas movement is disarmed and its tunnels in the so-called \u201cRed Zone\u201d area are destroyed.<\/p>\n
He also claimed that the area Israel refers to as the \u201csecurity zone\u201d has been completely demolished, with no houses remaining. According to him, a similar policy has been pursued in southern Lebanon, where homes in 24 villages have been destroyed.<\/p>\n
Katz further asserted that the Al-Shujaiya and Jabalia areas no longer “exist” following extensive Israeli attacks. These remarks come amid ongoing conflict in Gaza, where vast parts of the strip have suffered widespread destruction.<\/p>\n
Since October 2023, Gaza has been the scene of intense clashes between Israel and Hamas, with Israeli military operations causing extensive damage to infrastructure and residential areas across the enclave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
