The Israeli army has intensified attacks in the war-torn Gaza Strip for the past few days.
More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes within two days. The United Nations has once again expressed concern over this.
Israel is stunned by the UN statement. He has warned that his war with Hamas will last for months.
Israel’s military chief Herji Haveli revealed in a televised statement how long the Gaza war will last. He said there was no shortcut to eliminating Hamas and that the war would “continue for many more months”.
Israeli army chief Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said, “There is no magical solution, no shortcut, only determination and persistent fight to eliminate the terrorist organization Hamas. “We will also reach out to the leadership of Hamas, whether it takes a week or months.”
What did the UN say?
Indeed, the UN last night expressed concern over continued Israeli air strikes and named an outgoing Dutch minister as its humanitarian coordinator for Gaza.
“We are gravely concerned about the ongoing bombardment of Gaza by Israeli forces,” the UN human rights office said in a social media post.
More than 100 Palestinians have reportedly lost their lives since Christmas Eve. “Israeli forces must take all available measures to protect civilians.”
“Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be liberated from Hamas and Palestinian society must be deradicalized,” The Wall Street Journal quoted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as saying.
It is noteworthy that Israel is burning in the fire of revenge after Hamas killed 1200 people in the air and ground attack on October 7 inside the Israeli border.
Hamas had also taken 240 people hostage in that attack. Since then, the Israeli army has been selectively killing Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
20 thousand people have lost their lives in the Israeli attack, mostly women and children.
However, Israeli attacks have raised concerns about the safety of civilians.
On the other hand, the United Nations estimates that about 1.9 million Gazans have been displaced and many have fled towards the south. People are suffering from shortage of water, food, fuel and medicine.
