🔥 Late-night strikes shook Gaza City’s suburbs, leaving at least 18 people dead and driving many families to seek safety.
Israeli forces carried out combined air and ground attacks on neighborhoods like Sheikh Radwan. Local health authorities reported 18 fatalities on Sunday, including 13 civilians near an aid site in the central Gaza Strip and two more inside a home in Gaza City. 😔
Residents describe relentless tank shelling and air raids over the weekend, forcing people to flee westward. The destruction of homes has deepened an already dire humanitarian crisis.
After three weeks of escalating operations around Gaza City, the area has been labeled a 'dangerous combat zone,' ending temporary pauses that allowed for aid deliveries and cutting off vital relief.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet is set to meet Sunday evening to plan the next phase of the offensive. Seizing Gaza City — described by Israeli leaders as Hamas’ last stronghold — could be a major turning point in the conflict.
As the world watches, the human toll keeps rising. Aid groups warn that further restrictions could push vulnerable families to the brink.
Stay tuned for updates on this rapidly unfolding story. ✨
