TEHRAN (Defapress) - The Zionist regime’s plan for complete military control over Gaza City is advancing at an unprecedented pace, a plan that, by ignoring the catastrophic consequences of this aggressive operation, invites the world to witness preparations for the completion of a genocide against a nation and the erasure of an ancient city. On the ground, evidence indicates that the occupying regime has effectively begun the phase of fully besieging the city.

Al-Zaytoun Neighborhood in Flames

Southern Gaza City, particularly the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, has witnessed a wave of brutal airstrikes since August 12, stretching from the eastern part of the neighborhood to its center, demolishing homes on top of their residents. More than 300 houses in different areas along the Netzarim axis, which divides Gaza into two halves, have been completely leveled.

Eyewitnesses speak of a new wave of displaced families, left stranded in the streets and intersections of western Gaza, without shelter, not even a piece of cloth to protect them from the sun or missile shrapnel.

Disaster in Western Gaza

The scene in western Gaza, from sidewalks to the seashore, is a full-fledged portrait of a humanitarian catastrophe: children sleeping on the ground, women searching for a drop of water, and men helpless in the face of the destruction of even the most basic necessities of life.

Ahmed Al-Barsh, a Palestinian journalist, describes the scene: "Today, the southern part of the city, especially Al-Zaytoun from east to west, witnessed relentless airstrikes. I saw with my own eyes families left homeless, without tents or even a piece of fabric to shield them from the sun or shrapnel. Water is almost nonexistent, and the most basic necessities of life are out of reach. We are facing a humanitarian disaster in every sense of the word."

The Al-Sabra neighborhood, adjacent to Al-Zaytoun, has not been spared from continuous attacks either; strikes that have targeted residential homes. Just in the past few hours, the occupying regime’s warplanes bombed several houses in this neighborhood, leaving dozens martyred and wounded, while rescue operations are nearly impossible due to the military siege.

Mohammed Haniya, another Palestinian journalist, warns of the dangers of this situation, saying: "The occupying regime has begun its ground operations by evacuating the eastern and southern parts of the city and continues to demolish buildings to pave the way for its forces’ advance."

The Forced Displacement Plan

Field sources confirm that the occupying regime intends to forcibly relocate the remaining residents toward western Gaza, already overcrowded with displaced people, to facilitate the complete occupation of the rest of the city.

According to reports, this plan, which the occupying regime has announced with a specific timeline, is being silently implemented, while the Israeli media narrative is busy exaggerating its internal divisions.

The truth is that Gaza stands on the edge of an abyss, and perhaps only a few days remain before its complete fall into the grip of the occupying regime. This bloody war is not only being waged through bombardment but also through siege and starvation, leaving more than a million people facing thirst, hunger, and death.

In the end, it must be said that 18 years of siege and 38 years of occupation could not break Gaza’s resistance, yet this moment is the most dangerous in its contemporary history, unfolding amid the silence of world nations as they watch the occupiers advance into the heart of Gaza. Meanwhile, the people of Gaza continue to live among the rubble, waiting for a dawn they do not know will bring salvation or another round of hell.
