Latest Military Developments Of Gaza, 13 October 2023 (Map)

On the seventh day of the fighting, Palestinian fighters attacked the Zikim area in the north of the Gaza Strip and clashed with the Israeli regime forces. The fighting continues sporadically in this area. Also, the resistance forces penetrated around Be’eri settlement and clashed with the Israeli regime forces. No special and significant conflict was observed in other front lines of the Gaza Strip.

Another important event that made headlines on this day was the Zionist regime’s ultimatum to the residents of the northern areas of the Gaza Strip. On Friday, the Israeli regime set a 24-hour deadline for the evacuation of Gaza City and the northern areas of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli regime warns that all civilians must evacuate the northern areas of the Gaza Strip until the Wadi Gaza.

The northern areas of Gaza have a population of about 1,100,000 people and it is an extremely dense area. After announcing this warning, a large number of people are evacuating the northern areas of Gaza. It should be noted that in recent days, a large number of civilians have been killed due to the barbaric bombings of the Zionist regime. The severity of Israeli bombings and crimes is so great that, according to Hebrew sources, the Minister of War of the Zionist regime has asked Netanyahu to reduce the amount of bombings because the massive attacks on the Gaza Strip will lead to the loss of support from some certain countries.

In the political sphere, in order to continue its attacks and prepare the conditions for a ground operation on the Gaza Strip, Israel needs the support of a part of the world’s public opinion as well as the support of the heads of some governments. Therefore, the warning and evacuation deadline for the northern residents of the Gaza Strip is interpreted in this direction. If all the civilians are evacuated, or at least a large part of the civilians are evacuated, the necessary justification will be provided to increase the heavier bombings on Gaza.

In the military sphere, it seems that Israel intends to completely destroy the northern areas of Gaza. In fact, according to the readiness of the resistance forces to respond to any ground aggression of the Israeli regime in this area, the Israeli regime first tries to destroy all important infrastructures, routes and roads, tunnels, possible places of deployment of the Palestinian forces, etc. and then after severe weakening the forces and positions of the Palestinian fighters, launch a ground attack on this area.
