Israeli airstrikes and ground operations in Gaza City killed at least 31 people on Sunday, including a pregnant woman and her two children, according to local health authorities. Tanks advanced further into densely populated neighborhoods, forcing thousands to flee amid escalating violence. 🏚️
Witnesses described scenes of chaos as residential buildings were demolished. "The mother, the boy, the girl, and the baby in her womb—we found them all gone," said Mosallam Al-Hadad, whose son survived the attack with severe injuries. Israel claims the strikes targeted Hamas militants, though civilian casualties continue to rise.
Over 450,000 residents have reportedly fled Gaza City since September, though Hamas disputes this figure. Meanwhile, international pressure mounts as Western allies prepare to recognize Palestinian statehood ahead of the UN General Assembly. 🌍
In Jerusalem, thousands protested outside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence, demanding a deal to free the 20 remaining Israeli hostages believed alive in Gaza. Families plead: "Bring them home."
The conflict, now nearing its two-year mark, shows no signs of cooling. With rockets still fired into southern Israel and global diplomacy at a crossroads, the world watches—and hopes—for a breakthrough. ✊🕊️
