Israeli forces escalated attacks in Gaza City this weekend, targeting underground tunnels and residential areas in strikes that Gaza's health authorities say killed at least 60 Palestinians. The assault comes days before 10 countries—including Australia, Canada, and the UK—are set to formally recognize an independent Palestinian state on Monday. 🚨
Battle for Gaza City Heats Up 🔥
Israeli troops advanced into eastern suburbs, bombarding neighborhoods like Sheikh Radwan and Tel Al-Hawa. Military reports claim 20 high-rise buildings were demolished in two weeks, while Hamas disputes evacuation numbers, alleging 900,000 residents remain trapped. Over 13,000 tents for displaced families have reportedly been destroyed since August.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens 💔
Gaza's health authorities report over 65,000 Palestinian deaths since the conflict began nearly two years ago, with widespread famine and displacement. Israel maintains Hamas bears responsibility for the crisis, calling hunger reports "exaggerated."
Global Spotlight Shifts to UN 🌐
With key nations preparing to recognize Palestine, next week's UN General Assembly could see heightened tensions. Analysts call this a potential turning point in international pressure on Israel.
