GAZA STRIP/ BEIRUT/ DAMASCUS/ SANA’A: Dozens more Palestinians have been killed and 82 injured in Israeli attacks carried out across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

‘No obtainable military objectives for Israel in Gaza’
Former Israeli diplomat Alon Pinkas has told media, he sees “no obtainable military objectives in Gaza”, where the war is being perpetuated “for Netanyahu’s political needs and necessities”.
The prime minister restarted the war in Gaza to “resume the constitutional coup he instigated in 2023,” Pinkas said.
On the military level, “if Netanyahu wants to eradicate Hamas, then Israel needs to occupy the Gaza Strip entirely,” he continued. “That comes with great cost and great responsibility.”
“I don’t see any particular well-defined military objective, unless the idea is to gradually incrementally take over the entire Gaza,” Pinkas added.
