Israeli forces intensified attacks on Gaza City suburbs overnight, with air and ground strikes destroying homes and displacing families. The escalation comes as Hamas confirmed the death of a senior military leader during the bombardment. 🚨
Local health officials reported at least 18 fatalities Sunday, including 13 people near an aid distribution site in central Gaza and two others in a residential building. The Israeli military stated it is reviewing these claims.
Residents of Sheikh Radwan—a major Gaza City neighborhood—described relentless tank shelling and airstrikes over the weekend, forcing many to flee westward. Israel ended temporary humanitarian pauses in the area Friday, declaring it a "dangerous combat zone."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet will meet Sunday evening to discuss plans to seize Gaza City, which he calls Hamas’ final stronghold. The military has gradually expanded operations around the city for three weeks, signaling a prolonged conflict. 💔
