Israeli-Palestinian conflict chronicles: February 7-8th 2024 <br /><br />▪️In the north of the enclave, Palestinian forces were able to regain their strength and became active in several parts of Gaza at once. Hamas militants carried out the biggest number of attacks in the coastal area, from which Israeli units had previously withdrawn.<br /><br />▪️The Israeli Air Force continues its massive bombardment of residential areas in the suburbs and the capital of the enclave. A series of strikes hit the ruins of the Al-Judaydah neighborhood, where the presence of Palestinian militias has also been re-established.<br /><br />▪️The situation in the central part of the enclave remains unchanged: the Palestinians have only enough forces for rare sorties, and the Israelis are not trying to advance. At the same time, the low intensity of the fighting has no effect on Israeli air activity.<br /><br />▪️Positional fighting continues in Khan Younis in the central and western parts of the city. The neighborhoods of Nasser Hospital are regularly under IDF fire, but the Israelis are not attempting to advance deep into the hospital.<br /><br />▪️In the West Bank, Israeli security forces conducted another round of raids to detain militants and their alleged accomplices. More than 50 people were arrested, and the total number of detainees has almost reached seven thousand since the beginning of the escalation.<br /><br />▪️At the same time, Israeli aircraft fired rockets at the Syrian city of Homs. This time the munitions hit one of the houses in the Al Hamra neighborhood: at least five people were killed.<br /><br />▪️Meanwhile, in neighboring Iraq, the U.S. Air Force launched a missile strike on a car in an eastern Baghdad neighborhood. Three people were killed, including Abu Bakr al-Saadi, a leader of the pro-Iranian group Kataib Hezbollah.
