A photo of the images of the remaining 48 hostages held in the Gaza Strip, naming them all as Ron Arad, an Israeli Air Force officer missing since 1988, humaped Hamas at the same time as Israel is exacerbating their land.

The text accompanying the picture states: ‘Due to the denial of [Πρωθυπουργού Μπενιαμίν] Netanyahu and the capitulation of [Αρχηγού του Επιτελείου των Ισραηλινών Αμυντικών Δυνάμεων, Αντιστράτηγου Εγιάλ] Zamir, a farewell picture as the military operation in the city of Gaza begins. “

The text seems to accuse Netanyahu of refusing to reach a ceasefire agreement and hostage release, while accusing Zamir of executing the occupation of the city of Gaza despite his opposition to the plan.

Homer’s families have feared that their loved ones will share Arad’s fate without agreement to release them.

Heavy bombings in Gaza

At the same time, the Israeli army is bombarding the city of Gaza, according to Jewish media, citing Palestinian reports.

Yesterday, Israeli Air Force hit about 100 targets in the Gaza Stripaccording to the army.

The goals included tunnels, weapons warehouses, agents’ cores and other infrastructures used by terrorist groups.

Hamas authorities say at least 34 people were killed in Israeli raids in Gaza for the last 24 hours.

Dr. Rami Mana, chief executive of Sidas Hospital, where some of the corpses were transferred, says that six people from the same family are included among the dead after a bombing that hit their home early this morning. They were relatives of the Director of the Hospital, Dr. Mohammed Abu Selmiya, as he said.

The Palestinian Red Crescent reports that five more people were killed in another raid near Shawa Square.

On Friday, the Israeli army said it had expanded its operations to the city of Gaza and bombed “Hamas Infrastructure”.

About 250,000 – 500,000 of the city’s about 1 million residents have already left it, but some displaced Palestinians who have been injured by the advance said they were unable to do so.

Most of the northern Gaza has already been emptied of civilians and has turned into ruins. If the Israeli troops occupy the city of Gaza, the entire population of 2.1 million inhabitants of the damaged area will be confined to a small pocket in the south. At present, all these checkpoints through which goods can enter and people in Gaza are in the south, with the Zikim checkpoint that served the north being closed since last week.
