Part 4/8:
Palestinians assert that Israel is intentionally trying to erase their presence in the north, proposing that the objective is to facilitate new settlements—a claim that Israel vehemently denies. Instead, Israeli officials insist that their intensified attacks aim to prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping. This complicated narrative illustrates the fog of war and the contrasting perspectives held by both sides.
Evidence suggesting Hamas's military activities is further complicated by footage allegedly showing their forces taking on Israeli tanks. Amidst these military confrontations, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) assert that Hamas is also utilizing civilian infrastructure, hiding within hospitals and other humanitarian zones.
