Southern Israel looking into northern Gaza – 16 April 2025
1. Various flares being dropped over northern Gaza
STORYLINE:
Flares lit up the sky across northern Gaza on Wednesday night as Israeli strikes across Gaza killed another 22 people, according to local health officials.
Meanwhile, Israel’s defence minister said on Wednesday that troops would remain in so-called security zones in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria indefinitely.
Israeli forces have taken over more than half of Gaza in a renewed campaign to pressure Hamas militants to release hostages after Israel ended their ceasefire last month.
Israel has also refused to withdraw from some areas in Lebanon following a ceasefire with the Hezbollah militant group last year, and it seized a buffer zone in southern Syria after rebels overthrew Syrian President Bashar Assad in December.
The Palestinians and both neighbouring countries view the presence of Israeli troops as military occupation in violation of international law.
