Could Israel’s new military operation in Gaza eliminate Hamas and free hostages? | DW News

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced a new ‘intensified' military operation in the Gaza Strip, and that its population would be moved. This comes after Israel's security cabinet approved plans to expand its military offensive against the militant group Hamas in Gaza. The plans are said to include the possible seizure of the entire Palestinian territory. The military has already been calling up tens of thousands of reservists. Critics say the renewed offensive, which began after a ceasefire with Hamas collapsed in March, has done little to bring the remaining Israeli hostages still held in Gaza back home.
