In the four-day operation within Gaza City's Shifa Hospital, the IDF has made significant progress, arresting 650 and eliminating 140 terrorists. This operation marks a substantial tactical victory in the ongoing conflict, showcasing the IDF's commitment to dismantling terrorist threats. However, the situation remains extremely dangerous. Despite these successes, the IDF has identified an additional 50 Hamas fighters within the Shifa Complex, including 20 in significant roles, indicating that the process could extend for several more days. This ongoing resistance underscores the complexity and danger of the mission at hand. While the IDF has achieved operational control over most of Gaza by early February and significantly reduced rocket fire, translating these tactical wins into strategic victories poses a considerable challenge. The enduring capability of Hamas to regroup and retaliate, along with the absence of a clear governance plan for Gaza post-conflict, threatens to perpetuate a "forever war" scenario. This situation risks strategic losses for the IDF, potentially leading to prolonged conflict, high casualty rates, and the failure to secure a lasting and peaceful resolution. In these difficult times, the role of Zaka Tel-Aviv is more crucial than ever. Our mission to provide emergency response and support to those affected by the conflict is vital for achieving lasting peace and security.
