Second day from guerra declared in the most turbulent region in the world. This Sunday the revenge of the Israeli army after the sudden and brutal attack of palestinian militias in the country, accompanied by a wave of rockets against the Jewish heartland.
Hours after the attacks began, what is in the heart of Israel and also in the border territories with Gaza, where there were those bloody incursions by Palestinian militias? And what is the situation at this moment in Gaza? Henrique Cymerman, correspondent in the Middle East, has reported all this on ‘Four a Day’ in a live connection from Tel Aviv.
The situation in Tel Aviv and the border territories
“It began to evacuate the Israeli population of the border. There is still members of Hamas that are there entrenched, who are still fighting with soldiers in some places. The kibbutzthe farms that are near the border, I would say that of the 22, part of them are half-destroyed and in Israel“There is an atmosphere of a day after 9/11,” Cymerman reported after being asked by presenter Roberto Arce from the set.
“There is talk that the death toll will be much higher of the one being considered now. There is talk of almost 600, that is the forecast, although it is not yet an official figure. I’m talking about 600 in Israel. For a population of 9.5 million, it is a brutal number and we are talking about 2,000 wounded, hundreds of Hamas terrorists who managed to enter Israeli territory yesterday just to kill. There are at least 200 bodies that have been recovered from Hamas men who have been killed in the fighting,” he noted.
Chronicle of the second day of the war between Israel and the Gaza Strip
“The key to everything” for Israeli society is “What is going to happen with the hundreds of kidnapped”. “We talk about children three years, old women in wheelchairs and youths that they were dancing at a party in nature and that some were raped, others were shot dead on the spot and others were taken with guns pointed towards Gaza and are probably there at this moment. There are creepy stories that are reaching us,” she said.
“They say here that there is no country in the world that has faced a situation like this, because what we are seeing right now is not an Israeli retaliation. We are seeing a preamble. First of all, Israel is cleaning the southern territory and they say that there are cells that have managed to reach further north, hoping that they are no longer here, that they cannot threaten Israeli citizens and there a decision will be made exactly what to do,” he reported. .
“There are four Israeli divisions prepared on the border for invade Gaza and the big question is what Israel is going to do. Are you going to take down, cut off the head of the snake? Are you going to put an end to the leadership of Hamas, to its military infrastructure? Or is it going to give them a strong blow and we will be in the same situation again in a year, a new year, who knows, maybe a few months? ”He summarized.
In this case, “the big news,” he says, “is that Israeli society, which in its very strong democracy has been divided between the center-left and the right, around a very controversial judicial reform in the last nine months, At this point it absolutely comes together. It is being negotiating an emergency government and they prepare to give a answer unprecedented, which has not yet begun.”
Hamas prepares for a coup in the Gaza Strip
In Gaza, he specified, when asked by Marta Reyero, “what there is, basically, is that Hamas if you are preparing for this one blow that can come. Are evacuating of some places part of the population, but the serious problem there is that they are going to use the kidnapped as human shields.
“There have already been several almost symbolic bombings, I would say, to the extent that the objective was to teach that doing something also due to public pressure from the Israeli population, which is surprised, is in shock. Several buildings have been demolished in Gaza, there are hundreds of dead, but I think they understand that this is just the beginning,” she added.
“What Hamas did was cross all the red lines and I believe that they themselves are preparing for an Israeli reaction. But don’t forget one thing. It is no coincidence that they titled this entire operation ‘Al-Aqsa Flood‘. Al-Aqsa is the third holiest place for Islam, a mosque that is in East Jerusalem and what Hamas and actually its leader, its mentor, Iran, does here is try to recruit the entire Muslim world, almost 2 billion of people, around Hamas,” he recalled.
Finally, he concluded, “we have seen that, for now, not much has happened in the Muslim world and in the Arab world beyond this serious attack that occurs after quite some time in Alexandria with a egyptian police who opens fire on Israeli tourists and kills two of them.”
