During a visit to the Navy's Shayetet 13 commando unit today, Israeli Occupation Forces' Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir stated that the military is intensifying its efforts to exert pressure on Hamas, aiming to secure the release of the hostages.

"This week, we are sending tens of thousands of orders to our reserve personnel to intensify and expand our action in Gaza," the Israeli chief of staff stated, adding that the IOF are adding pressure to return the Israeli captives and defeat Hamas.

The IOF chief of staff declared that Israeli forces will expand their operations into new zones, in an attempt "to eliminate Hamas's entire network of facilities, whether on the surface or underground," since the Israelis failed to do so for more than one and a half years.

This comes as the death toll in Gaza from the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza reaches 52,535, amid a complete collapse of the medical sector and a nearing depletion of food supplies in the Strip.

Tens of thousands murdered

As of May 4, the total number of martyrs since the beginning of the aggression on October 7, 2023, has reached 52,535, with 118,491 others injured.

From March 18, 2025, alone, i.e., since the resumption of the aggression on Gaza, 2,436 people have been martyred and 6,450 injured.

Hospitals and Humanitarian Organizations have warned that Gaza is facing a catastrophic crisis, with food and medicine shortages reaching critical levels amid "Israel's" siege on the Strip.

The Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah reported on Saturday a dire scarcity of the majority of vital drugs and basic nutritional supplies needed for patients, highlighting that over 75% of essential medical supplies are critically lacking in the Gaza Strip.

The Kuwaiti hospital warned that "the ability to continue providing medical services is now at risk," adding that "the stock of medicines and medical supplies will not last for more than a week," stressing that "most healthcare services will come to a halt without urgent and immediate intervention."

The World Food Programme (WFP) warned that its food reserves within the Gaza Strip have been completely depleted, urgently calling for humanitarian aid to be allowed into the besieged enclave. The WFP confirmed that critical life-saving supplies are prepared for delivery yet remain inaccessible due to the continued closure of all border crossings.
