Egypt did not agree to create a humanitarian corridor to the Gaza Strip. After the Hamas attack, the densely populated area is bombed by Israel.
Information about the decision of the Egyptian authorities was reported on Thursday morning by the American news agency Associated Press.
The tragedy of civilians in the Gaza Strip
Previously, there was information about the possible opening of the border crossing to allow the evacuation of citizens from the Zone.
Overnight, the Israeli army announced that its forces were carrying out a “major attack” on “targets linked to Hamas” in the Gaza Strip. The raids have been going on for several days. It is clear from the recordings available on social media that the victims of the bombings are not only targets associated with Hamas, but also the civilian population.
A senior Egyptian official who spoke to the US agency confirmed that there were talks with Tel Aviv and Washington about establishing safe corridors within the Gaza Strip and providing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.
Egyptian state media claim that Israel’s current actions are part of a plan to drive Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip.
Hamas attack, Israeli retaliation
Hamas launched large-scale military operations against Israel on Saturday. Hamas is a radical Islamic organization whose main goal is the liberation of Palestine from Israeli occupation. The armed branch of Hamas is the al-Qassam Brigades.
It started with a rocket attack, after which Hamas militias invaded Israeli territory in many places and attacked more than twenty cities. For this purpose, use was made of, among other things: paragliders and underground tunnels. The victims were Israeli citizens and officials. According to estimates, the militants took about 100 hostages.
In response, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that the country was in a state of war, and the Foreign Minister said that Israel would completely blockade the Gaza Strip. The Zone itself is under fire from Israeli aircraft. The victims of air strikes are mainly civilians.
Israeli forces have recaptured all settlements captured by Hamas, but fighting with the militants continues. In addition, Israel announced the mobilization of 300,000 conscripts who find themselves in a combat zone. Preparations for a ground operation in the Gaza Strip are in full swing.
Since Saturday, a thousand Palestinians have been killed and five thousand injured. Among the Israelis, losses amount to at least 1,200 dead and 3,000 wounded.
