US EditionWhat's Inside Israeli Plan to Conquer Gaza City ?
Operation Gideon's Chariots B aims to dismantle Hamas' military and administrative infrastructure in Gaza City with 50,000 reservists mobilized to support the effort, officials said.
- On Aug. 11, the IDF began preliminary operations in Gaza City, launching a wide assault on the Zeitoun neighbourhood and holding the outskirts, Defrin said.
- Earlier this month, Israel's Security Cabinet approved a plan to reoccupy Gaza City, with Defense Minister Israel Katz and Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir authorizing the operation aimed at disarming Hamas and securing hostage returns, officials said.
- Military planners say the operation will force nearly 1 million Palestinians southward, encircling Gaza City as 60,000 call‑up notices join around 70,000 reservists, Defrin said.
- Humanitarian agencies say Israeli operations have killed more than 62,100 Palestinians since October 2023, and the United Nations warns Gaza enclave faces `starvation` and `calamity` if the war continues.
- The offensive, named Operation Gideon's Chariots B, is a continuation after IOF took control of 75% of Gaza, with officials saying it could extend into 2026 amid recent international condemnation.
