The Israeli army says that it controls 40% of Gaza City because it pushes more Palestinians outside the houses

Israel controls 40% of Gaza City, a military spokesman announced on Thursday, when his bombing forced more Palestinians at their home. Meanwhile, thousands of residents have challenged the Israeli orders to leave, remaining in the ruins on the lane of the last advance of Israel.

The Gaza health authorities said that Israeli fires across the enclave had killed at least 53 people on Thursday, most of them in the city of Gaza, where Israeli forces have progressed through the external suburbs and are now a few kilometers from the city center.

“We continue to harm Hamas infrastructure,” said Israeli military spokesman Effie Defrin at a press conference, appointing the Zeitoun and Sheikh Radwan districts. “The operation will continue to develop and intensify in the coming days.”

Defrin confirmed that the chief of staff of the army Eyal Zamir told the ministers of the cabinet that without a day plan afterwards, they should impose a military regime in Gaza. The far -right members of the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have put pressure for such a decision, and for Israel to establish colonies in the beaten Palestinian enclave, which Netanyahu has so far excluded.

Israel launched the offensive in Gaza City on August 10, in what Netanyahu says it is a plan to defeat once for all Hamas activists in Gaza’s part where Israeli troops fought most strongly in the initial war phase.

The campaign caused international criticisms due to the casualness of the humanitarian crisis in the region and has caused unusual expressions of concern in Israel, including tension accounts on the strategy between certain military commanders and political leaders.

“This time, I do not leave my house. I want to die here. It doesn’t matter if we are moving or staying. Tens of thousands of those who left their houses were killed by Israel too, so why bother?” UM Nader, mother of five children from Gaza City, told Reuters by SMS.

The residents said that Israel had bombed the districts of Zeitoun, Sabra and Shejaia from Gaza City from the soil and air. The tanks pushed into the eastern part of the Sheikh Radwan district northwest of the city center, destroying houses and causing fires in tent camps.

Ruhiyya Afana said that a child and a half and nine years old was one of the people killed during attacks on tent camps in Gaza City on Thursday.

“These (children) are not to be blamed,” said Afana to CBC News Freelance the videographer Mohamed El Saife.

Palestinians “don’t have a safe place to go” while Israel attacks the Famine Gaza City: Unicef

Israel has killed nearly 90 Palestinians in the past 24 hours, Gaza health officials confirmed on Sunday. While Israel attacks the city of Gaza while interrupting the humanitarian breaks, Tess Ingram of Unicef ​​says that the Palestinians feel desperate and exhausted, but they are out of moving options.

In the heavy bombing in the Tuffah district, the doctors said that five houses had been damaged by Israeli strikes who killed eight people and injured dozens of others.

“The Israeli occupation has targeted a gathering of civilians and several houses in the Mashahra region of the Tuffah district – a firepiece belt that has completely destroyed four buildings,” said Mahmoud Bassal, spokesperson for the territory’s civil emergency service.

“Even if the Israeli occupation issues warnings, there are no places that can accommodate civilians; there are no other places where people can go.”

There was no immediate Israeli comments on these reports. The Israeli army said it operated on the outskirts of the city to dismantle activists’ tunnels and locate arms.

A large part of Gaza City was detained in the first weeks of the war in October and November 2023. About a million people lived there before the war, and hundreds of thousands of people would have returned to live among the ruins, especially since Israel ordered people to get out of other regions and launched offensives elsewhere.

Israel, who has now told civilians to leave Gaza City for their safety, said that 70,000 have done so, heading south. Palestinian officials say that less than half of this number have gone, and several thousand are still on the way to Israel’s advance.

“ The most dangerous movement ” says the head of the NGO

The trip could further endanger the most vulnerable, including many children suffering from malnutrition, said Amjad Al-Shawa, head of the Palestinian NGO network, a paraplue group of Palestinian NGOs that coordinate with the UN and international humanitarian agencies.

“It will be the most dangerous trip since the start of the war,” said Shawa. “People’s refusal to leave despite the bombing and murder are a sign that they have lost faith.”

Palestinian and UN officials say that there is no safe place in Gaza, including the regions that Israel designates as humanitarian areas.

Gaza Teen explains what is to die of hunger

Ahmed Ali Batniji, seventeen, shares his experience of evil to survive hunger in Gaza. The United Nations and many aid groups accuse Israel of creating a famine by hampering food deliveries in the territory, which Israel denies.

War caused a humanitarian crisis through the territory. Gaza health officials say 370 people, including 131 children, have so far died of malnutrition and famine caused by acute food shortages, most of them in recent weeks. Israel says he takes measures to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza, including the increase in aid in the enclave.

The war began on October 7, 2023, when armed men led by Hamas attacked southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, most of them, and taking 251 hostages to Gaza.

Israel’s offensive has since killed more than 63,000 Palestinians, most civilians, according to local health officials, and left a large part of the ruined territory.

The prospects of ceasefire and an agreement to release the 48 remaining hostages, 20 of which would always be alive, seem weak.

The demonstrations in Israel calling for war and concluded an agreement to release the hostages have intensified in recent weeks.
