Israel to assume full control of Gaza Strip as IDF intensifies offensive

Tel Aviv, May 19 (UNI) Israel will assume full control of the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared on Monday, marking a major escalation in the country’s months-long campaign against Hamas and signalling what critics fear could be a long-term occupation of the battered Palestinian enclave.
In a video message posted on Telegram, Netanyahu stated: “We are going to take control of the entire territory of the enclave—that is what we are going to do.” The remarks came as Israeli forces have intensified their efforts against the UN-designated-terror group in a new offensive — codenamed Gideon’s Chariots, which is aimed at dismantling Hamas’ remaining infrastructure and rescuing the 58 hostages still held in Gaza, reported Bloomberg.
Since 7 October 2023, when a Hamas-led incursion into southern Israel left around 1,200 people dead and more than 250 taken hostage, Israel has launched a relentless military campaign that has flattened much of Gaza and killed more than 53,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities.
