The Israeli army’s chief of staff, Herzl Halevi, announced on Tuesday that the ongoing conflict in Gaza is expected to continue for many more months. His statement comes as Israeli forces intensify their operations in the region.
Just a day prior, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the northern Gaza Strip, reaffirming his commitment to continue the military campaign. Netanyahu’s visit underscores the government’s stance on sustaining the offensive despite international calls for de-escalation.
Meanwhile, the Gazan health ministry reported on Tuesday that at least 20,915 people have been killed and 54,918 others injured in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7. The rising number of casualties highlights the severe humanitarian impact of the conflict on the residents of Gaza.
The extended duration of the conflict raises concerns among global observers about regional stability and the pressing need for a diplomatic resolution. Humanitarian organizations continue to advocate for immediate measures to alleviate the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
