Falconpowers – The photos of citizens present on the beach of the city of Deir Al-Balah overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in the middle of the Gaza Strip witnessed a massive influx of Palestinians on Wednesday who wanted to get away from the atmosphere of the Israeli war that the Strip has been exposed to for more than 6 months.
Channel correspondent Almog Boker commented on the photos, saying: “Absolute victory.. This photo makes my body hurt, while Zikim beach has been declared a closed military zone and we, the residents, cannot approach it without military escort. On the other side of the fence, the Gazans are spending their time on the beach and swimming in the sea as if there was no war.”
Israeli journalist Barak Ravid commented on the crowdedness of Deir Al-Balah beach in Gaza, saying: “It should be said frankly that there is no longer a war in Gaza, perhaps there is partial and limited fighting, and perhaps the Israeli television channels will report on it one day.”
The Hebrew newspaper Israel Hayom mentioned: “Has the war in Gaza ended? In the Strip, it seems that the residents are returning to their normal lives, and a source delivered the news here: “The tension with Iran serves Hamas and the organization this time is playing on the element of time to save Hamas.”
Meanwhile, the so-called Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, said: “In Gaza, photos of thousands swimming on the beach, and in the north, Hezbollah saw that the cabinet is not responding to the launch of hundreds of rockets from Iran into Israel, so it raised its head and took a step that cost us fighters wounded today, it is time to dismantle the war cabinet.”
The areas adjacent to the sea are considered the safest, as they are almost the only ones that are not constantly exposed to Israeli bombardment, which has prompted the displaced to take refuge there despite the cold weather in winter, fleeing the ongoing military operations, but the fire of the Israeli army sometimes reaches them.
This comes despite the continuation of the Israeli war on the Strip, where the army bombed earlier on Wednesday a school sheltering displaced persons in the Al-Shati refugee camp west of Gaza City, killing 4 Palestinians, including two children, and injuring others, according to medical sources.
