Israel-Hamas war LIVE: On the 41st day of the Israel-Hamas war, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) attacked the house of Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh with a fighter jet. The army has claimed that Hamas used to hold meetings with its fighters in this house.
On the other hand, the IDF is conducting ground operations in Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital. Many Israeli tanks are also present on the hospital campus. The Israeli army has claimed that they have found Hamas weapons, intelligence materials, and many military equipment in the hospital.
Apart from this, he has also said that Hamas headquarters, intelligence set-up, and uniforms will be found here. The army said that Hamas had hidden many weapons and grenades near the MRI machines. The IDF also talked to people present at the hospital for information on the Hamas operation.
Israel is continuously carrying out air strikes on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday that this war against Hamas will end only when it will no longer be able to attack Israel again. There is a big risk for Red Israel in Al-Shifa Hospital, but it is also true that Hamas operates from the hospital. Its headquarters, stockpile of weapons, and other war-related items are present there.
Turkey said – Israel is a terrorist country, Hamas is fighting for freedom
Earlier on Wednesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israel a terrorist country. While talking to party members in Ankara, Erdogan said – There is no doubt that Israel is a terrorist country and Hamas is fighting a war of independence.
Erdogan said- Our government is trying its best to bring all the Israeli leaders responsible for the devastation in Gaza to justice. Cases were filed against him in the International Court. Their military leaders will also be included in this.
Erdogan further said- that Israel has only one agenda at this time. He wants to destroy Gaza City and its people. Hamas is not a terrorist organization. That is an organization of fighters to stop Israel.
Former Israeli PM said – Erdogan, first check your record
Former Israeli Prime Minister and now opposition leader Yair Lapid responded to Erdogan’s allegation. Lapid made a post on social media and took a dig at Erdogan’s human rights record. The Israeli leader said- We do not want to learn a lesson about morality from a man who has violated human rights.
Erdogan should first check his record. Whatever Israel is doing, it is doing it for its own security. He is taking action against Hamas terrorists. Erdogan gives shelter to these terrorists in his house.
Netanyahu said – the Israeli army would find the killers of Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday visited an Israeli army military training center near Gaza. While talking to the soldiers, the Israeli PM said – The killers of Hamas should understand that there is no place in Gaza where our soldiers cannot reach.
Netanyahu further said- Hamas used to say that the Israeli army cannot even enter Gaza. We did it. They used to say that we could not reach Shifa Hospital. We reached there also. Now Hamas will have no place to hide. We have two goals. First- to eliminate Hamas. Second- to bring back our hostages.
Videos of Hamas attacks shown in Israeli Parliament
Another video of Hamas’s attacks was shown in the Israeli parliament on Wednesday. 1200 people were killed in these attacks on 7 October. Hamas terrorists had also taken 240 people hostage and they are still in their custody.
Videos of the October 7 attacks were also shown in the Israeli Parliament two weeks ago. Some videos were censored. Because of this, some people were raising questions about it. The video shown on Wednesday was the original footage. The party of people of Arab origin in Israel had appealed for screening for the second time in the Parliament. The speaker had accepted it.
Hamas ready for ceasefire
News agency ‘Reuters’, quoting Qatari officials, has claimed that Hamas has agreed to the ceasefire. For this, he has agreed to release 50 hostages, but in return, he wants the Israeli army not to attack for 3 days.
This report claims that Hamas has also said that Israel will also have to release some Palestinian women and children. No response has been given from Israel.
Hamas has named its operation against Israel ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’. In response, the Israeli army started a ‘Swords of Iron’ operation against Hamas. Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif had said – This attack is revenge for Israel’s desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Actually, Israeli police had thrown grenades at Al-Aqsa Mosque in April 2023.
At the same time, Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera – This action is our answer to those Arab countries which are growing closer to Israel. In recent days, media reports have claimed that Saudi Arabia may recognize Israel as a country on America’s initiative.
Why is there a dispute between Israel and Palestine?
This conflict has been going on in this area of the Middle East for at least 100 years. There is a dispute over areas like the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights. Palestine claims these areas including East Jerusalem. At the same time, Israel is not ready to give up its claim on Jerusalem.
Gaza Strip is between Israel and Egypt. This place is currently under the control of Hamas. This is an anti-Israel group. In September 2005, Israel withdrew its forces from the Gaza Strip. In 2007, Israel imposed several restrictions on this area. Palestine says that an independent Palestine state should be established in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
