️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicle: Events of February 21-22, 2024 ▪️ Against the backdrop of the return of refugees in Gaza and surrounding areas, Palestinian forces’ activity is increasing. Militants clash with Israeli patrols and launch mortar attacks on IDF positions. ▪️ In response, Israelis initiate artillery and air strikes on various parts of the city. Civilians in areas of Hamas activity often become targets of these raids. ▪️ The shooting persists in the central part of the Gaza Strip, where the front line remains static. Almost daily arrivals are reported in major settlements across the isthmus between the enclave’s north and south. ▪️ In the southern part of the enclave, the IDF is active near Al-Amal Hospital, while Palestinians try to set up ambushes from tunnels. Simultaneously, the Israelis have recently withdrawn part of their forces from there: the last brigade of reservists stationed in the Gaza Strip has left. ▪️ There is a noticeable rise in attacks on Rafah and neighboring areas, where Israelis systematically target suspicious sites. This could indicate IDF preparations for actions along the enclave’s border with Egypt. ▪️ Concurrently, mass arrests and clashes unfold in the West Bank. Israeli units brace for protests and speeches commemorating the month of Ramadan. ▪️ The routine exchange of hostilities persists on the Lebanese-Israeli border. Hezbollah continues to aim at border installations, while the IDF strikes identified missile launch sites. #video #digest #map #Israel #Palestine Источник: Rybar in English
