Israel mobilizes 60,000 reservists for brutal Gaza City takeover

• Israel is mobilizing 80,000 troops for a full-scale assault on Gaza City, displacing more than one million Palestinians in a deliberate act of ethnic cleansing.
• The IDF’s strategy involves artillery barrages, airstrikes, and a year-long demolition phase to systematically erase Gaza, mirroring previous massacres in Rafah and Jabalia.
• So-called humanitarian zones are a sham, as Israeli strikes repeatedly target these areas, killing families seeking refuge while the U.N. and ICRC condemn the forcible displacement as a war crime.
• The U.S. under Trump fully supports Israel’s genocide, while Europe begins to distance itself, with nations like Denmark considering sanctions and the U.N. demanding a ceasefire.
• Hamas warns that Israel’s offensive endangers remaining hostages, but Netanyahu’s true goal is total control of Gaza for Jewish settlements, sacrificing both Palestinian and Israeli lives for his expansionist agenda.

Israel is preparing for yet another massacre as the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv shows it has no intention of stopping—no matter how many children it starves, how many hospitals it bombs, or how many families it erases from existence.

On Wednesday, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced the call-up of 60,000 reservists, with another 20,000 forced into extended service, as part of a full-scale assault on Gaza City. The move will displace more than one million Palestinians and turn what remains of their homes into rubble. This isn’t just war. This is ethnic cleansing in broad daylight, and the world’s so-called leaders are either complicit or silent.

The IDF claims this is about dismantling “Hamas infrastructure,” but let’s be brutally honest: Israel has already killed more than 62,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, in a campaign that has left Gaza in ruins. Now, they’re preparing to systematically demolish Gaza City, just as they did in Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia, and Jabalia, while using artillery to force civilians into “safe zones” that don’t exist.

Where are these people supposed to go? Israel has already sealed off every exit, blocked aid, and turned southern Gaza into an open-air prison where children die from malnutrition and hospitals operate without medicine. The answer is simple: Netanyahu wants them dead or gone.

A war crime in the making

The IDF’s plan is chillingly precise. First, artillery barrages will drive civilians from their homes. Then, five divisions of Israeli troops will move in, backed by airstrikes, to “clear” the city, which is military-speak for mass destruction. After that? A year-long demolition phase, because Israel doesn’t just want to conquer Gaza; it wants to erase it from the map. The same playbook was used in Rafah, where Israeli forces bombed refugee camps, and in Jabalia, where entire neighborhoods were flattened into dust.

And what does Israel offer as an alternative? “Humanitarian zones”, which sounds like a sick joke, given that Israeli strikes have repeatedly hit these so-called safe areas, killing families in their tents. Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reported from Gaza that a father in al-Mawasi lost his children when an Israeli missile tore through their tent while they slept. Meanwhile, the U.N. warns that forcible displacement is a war crime, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says this offensive will push Gaza into “an irreversible humanitarian crisis.”

Yet none of this matters to Israel—or to its enablers in Washington.

Trump gives the green light as Europe turns away

While European nations like Denmark now consider sanctions on Israel, and even Germany and Ukraine broke ranks to support a U.N. ceasefire resolution, the Trump administration has fully endorsed Netanyahu’s slaughter. Trump’s team has given the clearest green light yet for Israel to “confront and destroy” Hamas, which, in practice, means bombing civilians, starving children, and seizing Palestinian land.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Hamas is not the real target. The true goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza, paving the way for Jewish settlements on stolen Palestinian land. Netanyahu has already made this clear, declaring that Israel will take “total control” of Gaza—just not “forever,” of course. (Because when has Israel ever given back land it stole?)

Meanwhile, Hamas has warned that Israel’s offensive will endanger the remaining hostages, 20 of whom are still believed to be alive. But Netanyahu doesn’t care. He’s sacrificing Israeli lives for his genocidal agenda, just as he’s sacrificed tens of thousands of Palestinian lives without a second thought.
