Military forces from Israel advance into Gaza City, causing Palestinians to abandon their homes under pressure from the offensive
Israel has initiated a new ground offensive in Gaza City, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The offensive, which began on Wednesday, has already caused hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee the area, according to reports.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched the offensive after calling up 60,000 reservists, and it is being supported by the military's ground advance. The IDF is dismantling military structures used by Hamas in Gaza City, a move aimed at weakening the militant group's capabilities.
The offensive has taken place in a famine-stricken Gaza City, where the area is currently in a state of devastation. Overnight strikes have killed at least 45 people, according to hospital officials, and the offensive includes strikes on high-rise buildings across the city. The Israeli air force and artillery have struck Gaza City more than 150 times in recent days.
In an effort to facilitate the evacuation of residents, the Israeli military opened up a new route south via Salah al-Din Street. Approximately 350,000 Palestinians have evacuated Gaza City to other areas of the Strip. The IDF estimates that this number is correct.
The offensive is defying international condemnation, with many countries expressing concern over the humanitarian crisis it is causing. The name of the commanding general of the IDF leading the offensive in Gaza City is not explicitly stated in the available search results.
This latest offensive is a grim reminder of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the impact it continues to have on the civilian population in Gaza. As the situation continues to unfold, it is crucial that all parties involved prioritise the protection of civilians and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
