Israel Once Again Targets Gaza City
(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - Why is the capital of Gaza still in the hands of Hamas? At the beginning of the war, the IDF cut off Gaza City from central Gaza in the first days of the ground offensive in October 2023. Then it spent a month pushing into neighborhoods and suburbs of Gaza City but never taking the city itself and holding it. It appears that the Hamas units there were not destroyed. Hamas mostly retreats and hides in areas where the IDF operates. The IDF has always asked people to leave before it enters an area. This gives Hamas time to leave as well.
