Local media “Ground battle in Khan Yunis where Hamas leadership is located”
“Israel also strikes Syria”… Concerns about war escalation
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Noh Jae-hyun = Israel continued large-scale airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in Palestine on the 2nd (local time), the second day after the temporary ceasefire with the Palestinian armed faction Hamas ended.
AFP news agency reported that gray smoke rose from the Gaza Strip as Israel carried out a fatal airstrike on that day.
The Israeli media Times of Israel also reported that the Israeli military carried out a large-scale operation targeting Hamas and other armed groups in the Gaza Strip overnight, and that fierce fighting reportedly took place in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Another Israeli media channel, Channel 12, reported that a large-scale ground battle was reported to have taken place in Khan Yunis, a city in the southern Gaza Strip.
Khan Yunis is an area where some Hamas leaders are known to be hiding.
Israeli military radio broadcasts reported that Israeli troops were conducting operations in the northern Gaza Strip cities of Gaza City and Beit Lahia.
“We are now striking Hamas military targets throughout the Gaza Strip,” Israeli military spokesman Jonathan Conricus said.
Hamas is also said to have given combat instructions to its members.
According to AFP, a source close to Hamas said Hamas militants had been ordered to resume fighting and defend the Gaza Strip.
There are concerns that if the fighting between Israel and Hamas intensifies, casualties on both sides will increase.
Israel launched airstrikes throughout the Gaza Strip, including Khan Yunis and Rafah, when the temporary ceasefire ended the day before.
The Israeli military announced through Telegram that it also struck Hamas’ operational command center and underground facilities.
According to Hamas’s Gaza Health Ministry, on the first day of resumption of fighting, 178 people were killed and 589 injured in Israeli military attacks in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, on the 1st, Israel declared the resumption of fighting after 7 days of temporary ceasefire, saying that Hamas violated the agreement and fired into Israel.
AFP reported that there are concerns that the war between Israel and Hamas will expand to surrounding areas.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced on the 2nd that Israeli forces attacked near Damascus, the Syrian capital.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense said, “At 1:35 this morning, Israel carried out an airstrike on the occupied Golan Heights side and targeted some points near Damascus.”
No casualties were reported from the airstrike.
The day before, Hezbollah, a pro-Iran armed faction in Lebanon, announced that one of its members had been killed in an Israeli airstrike.
