  "summary": "Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has stated that \"complete victory\" for Israel means the resettling of the Gaza Strip. He made these comments on a podcast, suggesting that there must be a \"price\" for the defeat suffered by Israel's enemies.\n\nThe Gaza Strip has been subject to intensified Israeli raids, resulting in significant casualties. According to the Gaza civil defence, over 10 raids have been launched since morning, killing at least 16 people and injuring dozens. The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that two people were killed and others seriously injured in a drone strike on a car in Deir Al Balah.\n\nSince a ceasefire agreement took effect in October, Israeli attacks have killed at least 1,230 people in Gaza, mostly women and children, according to Palestinian health officials. This information comes from The National UAE.",
