Intense Battles Between Israeli Forces and Hamas in Gaza: IDF Evacuates Civilians, Destroys Terror Assets

Israeli forces have been engaging in intense battles with Hamas in various areas of Gaza, including Rafah, Jabaliya, and Zeitoun. The IDF issued evacuation warnings for civilians in these areas ahead of planned operations against Hamas. According to reports from Palestinian media outlets and the IDF itself, Israeli strikes have been reported in northern Gaza's Jabaliya area following the evacuation order. In addition, Israeli forces have destroyed several rocket launchers, weapons storage areas, and other terror assets near Rafah Crossing. The clashes come as Israel continues to grapple with the aftermath of its previous conflict with Hamas and faces criticism from international leaders for its handling of the situation in Gaza.

The IDF currently has three divisions – 98th in Jabalya, 99th in Zeitoun, and 152nd in Rafah – actively fighting Hamas within the strip. The Israeli military has reportedly increased its use of destructive war machines to target terror assets and destroy infrastructure.

The Gaza Health Ministry has warned that the health system in the strip will collapse within hours due to a lack of fuel needed to power generators and ambulances. Nearly 360,000 Palestinians have fled Rafah since Israel ordered civilians to evacuate, according to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faced criticism from defense chiefs over the country's handling of the situation in Gaza and its impact on civilians. The IDF continues to battle Hamas in an effort to protect Israeli citizens from rocket attacks and destroy terror assets within the strip.
