Israel announces unprecedented attacks - escape calls in the Gaza Strip!

Gazastreifen, Palästina - Israel's military announced "unprecedented attacks" in the Gaza Strip on May 27, 2025. This measure leads to an escape call in large areas, especially in the big cities of Chan Junis, Rafah and adjacent places. Al-Mawasi, which was declared as a humanitarian protection zone, is excluded from this request. The attacks were justified by terrorist organizations with a renewed fire from South Gaza. According to reports, at least 60 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli attacks since the night, while the Israeli Air Force attacked a Hamas command center in a former school building where, among other things, displaced persons were.

The attacks not only led to massive fires, but also to serious injuries, with even minors being among the victims. In order to provide humanitarian aid, the Gaza Humanitrian Foundation (GHF) started distributing relief goods with the aim of reaching a million Palestinians. The UN was critical of a new distribution mechanism that is intended to prevent Hamas from benefiting from these aid deliveries.

conflicts and international reactions

In the middle of the military escalation, there are reports on a possible ceasefire plan that is said to have been accepted by Hamas. However, Steve Witkoff, the US specialist, contradicts this presentation. Israel also calls for the full disarmament of Hamas to end the fights. In Jerusalem, meanwhile, the annual flag march of Jewish nationalists occurred, and attacks on Palestinian shopkeepers and left activists were reported. Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited the Temple Mount and prayed for the victory in the war and the return of captured soldiers. This was not unnoticed; Jordan criticized his visit and some marching participants entered the Unrwa headquarters in East Jerusalem.

The humanitarian Situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly tense. South Africa has submitted a third urgent application to the International Court of Justice (IGH), in which a "widespread famine" in the Gaza Strip is discussed. Israel rejected the application and accuses South Africa of acting as the legal arm of Hamas. The urgent application was based on new facts and changes in the situation in Gaza, especially because of the famine. As part of the ongoing conflicts, South Africa Israel had already sued at the end of December 2023 for alleged violations of the Convention on the Board.

urgency of humanitarian aid

The UN asked Israel in an interim decision to take protective measures to prevent genocide. Israel, on the other hand, justifies his military measures with the right to self -defense after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. In the past two weeks, Israel stated that an average of 102 food transports reached the Gaza Strip every day, which corresponds to an increase of almost 50 percent compared to the times before the war. However, South African sources report that at least 15 children have starved in the past week. The situation for the approximately 2.2 million people in the Gaza Strip is extremely desperate, and the UN warn that a famine threatens if the aid deliveries are not expanded.

In addition, another procedure against Israel is in front of the IGH, which concerns the legality of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian areas. Nicaragua also sued Germany in front of the IGH because of the favoration of a genocide. The continuing conflicts and the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continue to employ the international community intensively.
