Israel's security cabinet approves plan to take control of Gaza City

GAZA CITY, GAZA STRIP, PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES, AUG 8 – The plan aims to disarm Hamas, return hostages, and establish Israeli security control while distributing aid outside combat zones, after 61,000 Palestinians have died, Gaza health officials say.

  • Israel's Security Cabinet approved early Friday a plan to take control of Gaza City, escalating its 22-month offensive launched after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack.
  • The plan aims to remove Hamas and eventually hand Gaza City over to friendly Arab forces who will govern without threatening Israel.
  • Gaza City, once home to hundreds of thousands before evacuation orders, remains one of the few areas not under Israeli buffer zones or evacuation, but is devastated by repeated bombardments and raids.
  • Medical charity Doctors Without Borders denounced chaos and violence at Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation food sites as 'orchestrated killing' and a 'deliberately designed death trap,' while the Foundation denied the accusations as false and disgraceful.
  • Former Israeli security officials and families of hostages warn that expanding military operations could endanger about 20 hostages, risk countless civilian lives, displace tens of thousands, and further isolate Israel internationally.
