US EditionIsrael's Defense Minister Says Gaza City Could Be Destroyed
Israeli military coordinates with medical and humanitarian groups to prepare evacuation of approximately 850,000 civilians from Gaza City before ground operations commence.
- In August 2025, Israeli forces initiated Operation Gideon 2 aimed at retaking northern Gaza City and directed over 900,000 Palestinians to relocate to southern regions.
- This offensive follows a Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, and broke down ceasefire talks last month.
- The campaign involved establishing footholds on Gaza City’s outskirts after prolonged bombardment and the deployment of several brigades in key neighborhoods like Zeitoun and Jabalia.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the urgent need to halt hostilities to prevent the "inevitable death and destruction," as Gaza faces over 62,000 fatalities amid escalating concerns about a severe humanitarian emergency.
- The offensive risks devastating Gaza’s health system and population, intensifying displacement and suffering amid international criticism and ongoing negotiations involving Qatar and Egypt.
