Israel has expanded its occupation to 59% of Gaza and is preparing for possible resumption of genocide in the Palestinian enclave, the Israeli Army Radio said on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the October 2025 ceasefire, Israel occupied 53% of the strip, the broadcaster said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For its part, Palestinian group Hamas has said Israeli army occupies over 60% of the coastal enclave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Senior Israeli military officials “are pressing for a resumption of fighting in Gaza and believe that the best time to defeat Hamas is now”, the radio said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The radio also reported military preparations for a possible resumption of fighting, noting that the army has reduced forces in southern Lebanon and redeployed regular brigades to Gaza and the West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It said the southern command has completed operational plans and is ready to resume fighting if ordered by the political leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The report comes amid Israel’s ongoing ceasefire violations in the Gaza Strip as well as attacks in the West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The truce was meant to end a two-year Israeli onslaught on Gaza, which left more than 72 000 dead and 172 000 wounded, and destroyed 90% of civilian infrastructure. – AA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
