according to reuters, citing multiple israeli media reports, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said on the 22nd that the country is studying a plan to use "siege tactics" against the palestinian islamic resistance movement (hamas) in northern gaza. as of press time, no response has been seen from hamas.

netanyahu file photo source: foreign media reuters reported that the plan was published by some retired israeli military commanders and received support from some israeli parliamentarians this month. according to the plan, palestinian civilians will be instructed to evacuate northern gaza, and the area will then be declared a military restricted area, and about 5,000 hamas militants remaining in the area will be "besieged" until they surrender. cnn, which also reported the incident, mentioned that the plan did not mention whether, when, and how civilians would be allowed to return to northern gaza.

reuters quoted israel's public broadcaster kan as saying that netanyahu called the plan "meaningful" and that it "is one of the plans being considered, and there are others (also under consideration)."

in response to the above news, reuters mentioned that netanyahu’s office has not responded to the request for comment.

reuters said that israel's nearly one-year offensive against hamas in the gaza strip and the resulting humanitarian crisis have been severely criticized by the international community. according to cctv news, on september 22, local time, the palestinian ministry of health issued a statement saying that in the past 24 hours, the israeli military operations in the gaza strip killed 40 palestinians and injured 58 people. since the outbreak of a new round of israeli-palestinian conflict on october 7 last year, the israeli military operations in the gaza strip have caused 41,431 deaths and about 95,818 injuries.
