As Israeli military chief approves ‘continuation of war’ plans with the Zionist entity’s Southern Command, resistance in Gaza is still defiant on day 205 of the brutal war on Gaza.
Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi approved plans for the “continuation of war” in Gaza in a meeting with the head of the Southern Command Major-General Yaron Finkleman.
The occupation military added in a statement on Telegram that all division and brigade commanders attended the meeting.
Meanwhile, the resistance group had their own say on the day 205 of the aggression, when their fighters pounded settlements bordering Gaza, despite all means of aerial and land siege imposed by the occupation entity.
Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad resistance group, issued video showing a joint strike with Al-Ansar Brigades on settlements in Gaza envelope.
Diplomatic Efforts
Meanwhile, Diplomatic efforts intensify to reach a ceasefire in Gaza as a Hamas delegation is to head to Egypt after news reports suggested ‘Israel’ may be considering a “sustainable” truce.
“A Hamas delegation headed by Khalil Al-Hayya will arrive in Egypt tomorrow … and deliver the movement’s response” to an Israeli proposal during a meeting with Egyptian intelligence officials, an unnamed Hamas official told AFP news agency.
“Hamas is open to discussing the new proposal positively,” another Hamas source is quoted as saying.
Earlier on Saturday, senior Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayya said the group was reviewing an Israeli proposal but gave no details. He added that the Israeli truce offer was in response to a Hamas proposal two weeks ago.
Rafah Incursion
On the other hand, Hardline Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich have been pressing the occupation government to start the incursion into Rafah, where an estimated 1.5 million Palestinians have been sheltering.
Far-right National Security Minister Ben-Gvir said if a ceasefire deal is approved it will lead to the dissolution of the Benjamin Netanyahu-led government.
On X, Ben-Gvir wrote a “reminder” to a previous post he made in January, saying, “Reckless deal = dismantling of the government.”
His comments came after hardline Finance Minister Smotrich warned Netanyahu’s government will have “no right of existence” unless the occupation military invades Rafah.
