The war between Hamas and Israel has been going on in Gaza for the last 11 months. The Israeli army is continuously carrying out fierce attacks, in which a large number of people are being killed every day. The Health Ministry in Gaza has claimed that the death toll in the war has crossed 40 thousand. About 40,265 thousand people have been killed so far. In the latest attack on Friday, 16 people have been killed, among whom the number of children and women is high.
The Israeli army carried out a massive airstrike in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah in Gaza. A horrific scene was witnessed there after these drone attacks. The IDF also targeted a school and a residential building on Thursday. In this, 3 people died and about 15 people were injured. A video of this attack has also gone viral, in which the Israeli army’s missile is seen falling on the school and the house.
In this attack, a big building is razed to the ground and a cloud of smoke is seen rising. After this, there is a stampede in the entire area. People start taking the injured out of the rubble and taking them to the hospital. On the other hand, about 9 people have died in the Israeli drone attacks on Khan Younis. 8 people have also lost their lives in Deir al-Balah. The Israeli army has targeted many Hamas hideouts.
Along with this, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant have claimed to have destroyed more than 150 terrorist tunnels in Rafah as part of a military operation in the Gaza Strip. During his visit to the Air Force Base, PM Netanyahu has described the Israeli army as ready to deal with any situation, both defensively and offensively. He said, “We are ready for any scenario.”
These attacks by Israel, amidst the ongoing ceasefire talks, have turned the inhabited city of Gaza into ruins. Most of the 2.3 million residents of Gaza have been forced to flee their homes. 40 thousand Palestinians and 1200 Israelis have lost their lives in this war that started in October last year. This war has ruined Israel’s economy.
This war has put Israel in an economic crisis. The country’s deficit has increased. The credit rating has fallen. The tourism industry has collapsed. The country’s expenditure is surrounded by controversies. The failed ceasefire attempts so far, the air strikes by Hamas as well as Hezbollah and Iranian fronts have also broken the morale of the people here. Its effect can be clearly seen in the markets and tourist places here.
Many Israeli economists are extremely worried about the current situation in the country. They want an end to the ongoing conflict in Gaza as soon as possible so that life can return to normal. The cost of reconstruction in the south and north of Israel, compensation for the families of the victims and the cost of strengthening the country’s defense systems are putting a lot of pressure on the country’s economy. Israel is going to lose about $ 14 billion in domestic product this year.
