Press TV \u2013 May 1, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Israeli prime minister\u00a0Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to order an expansion of the ongoing onslaught on\u00a0the besieged Gaza Strip, Hebrew-language Maariv days says.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Netanyahu is expected to convene a\u00a0war cabinet meeting on Friday for a situation assessment, the Israeli newspaper reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The meeting, which includes senior generals and minister of military affairs Israel Katz, is expected to approve a plan to expand and intensify the Israeli onslaught\u00a0across the war-wracked territory, it added.<\/p>\n

Israel has already expanded its ground aggression in the besieged Gaza Strip, seeking to seize a large portion of the Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n

The regime intensified its onslaught last month, with Katz announcing plans to \u201ccapture extensive territory\u201d to establish what new “security zones”.<\/p>\n

Critics say the Israeli regime “is sending more soldiers into Gaza to fight in the same areas where battles have already taken place repeatedly.”<\/p>\n

The \u00a0regime has already rejected a deal proposed by the Hamas resistance movement that would have involved the release of all Israeli captives held in Gaza in return for ending the war.<\/p>\n

Hamas says it is willing to engage in comprehensive negotiations that would secure the release of all Israeli captives in exchange for a full ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, reconstruction efforts, and the lifting of the siege.<\/p>\n

The families of Israeli captives, as well as several Israeli opposition groups, are pressuring Netanyahu to accept the agreement.<\/p>\n

They have accused\u00a0Netanyahu of abandoning the captives in favor of prolonging the war for his political survival.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks, thousands of Israeli reservists have signed letters demanding that Netanyahu’s regime stop the war in the besieged strip.<\/p>\n

New Israeli strikes kill dozens in Gaza\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gaza\u2019s civil defense agency said Thursday Israeli bombardments had killed at least 29 people since midnight in the war-ravaged territory.<\/p>\n

Civil defense official Mohammed Al-Mughayyir said the toll included eight people killed in an airstrike on the Abu Sahlul family home in Khan Yunis refugee camp in southern Gaza.<\/p>\n

Four people were killed in an airstrike east of Shaaf in Gaza City\u2019s al-Tuffah neighborhood.<\/p>\n

At least 17 more were killed in other attacks across the besieged Palestinian territory, including one that hit a tent sheltering displaced people near the central city of Deir el-Balah, the agency said.<\/p>\n

Images showed residents digging through rubble in search of bodies, which were carried away on stretchers under blankets.<\/p>\n

At Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, rescuers rushed a screaming wounded child out of an ambulance.<\/p>\n

Israel resumed its brutal campaign in the Gaza Strip on March 18, unilaterally breaching a two-month truce.<\/p>\n

Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that at least 2,326 people have been killed since Israel resumed strikes.<\/p>\n

More than 52,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, most of them women and children.<\/p>\n

In November 2024, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and the former Israeli minister for military affairs, Yoav Gallant, for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on Gaza.<\/p>\n
