Israeli forces expanded their ground operations in Gaza on Thursday, advancing into Rafah City's Shabura refugee camp as tensions spiral. The military stated troops dismantled 'terrorist infrastructure sites' and targeted the abandoned Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, accusing Hamas of using it as a command center. Meanwhile, air raid sirens blared in central and southern Israel after Hamas fired rockets, one intercepted mid-air 🚀.
Residents have faced chaotic evacuations, with the UN Relief Agency warning the ground invasion could worsen Gaza's humanitarian crisis. 'The worst is yet to come,' said UNRWA’s Philippe Lazzarini, condemning Israel’s aid blockade and 'inhumane ordeals' for displaced families. Over 591 deaths and 1,042 injuries have been reported since strikes resumed this week, per Gaza authorities.
