Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip continues on Saturday.
Media outlets reported that various areas in Gaza City were witnessing violent and unprecedented Israeli airstrikes.
She added that Israeli tanks are advancing around Al-Jalaa Street and the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood. This move is the first of its kind within one of Gaza City’s most prominent main streets.
This comes as medical sources in Gaza reported that 31 Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire. Notably, 26 of them were in Gaza City alone.
Deaths due to famine
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday that two new deaths had been recorded. These deaths were in the Strip due to famine and malnutrition over the past 24 hours.
The ministry said the death toll from the famine had risen to 442, including 147 children.
The ministry confirmed that the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip continues to worsen. This is due to the blockade and shortages of food and medical supplies.
She renewed her call to the international community and relief organizations for immediate and urgent intervention.
In this context, sources told Walla that the Israeli army has escalated its occupation of Gaza City in recent hours.
Sources indicated that the operation is in its advanced stages, revealing that three army divisions are simultaneously attacking Gaza City.
The website quoted Israeli officers as saying that the progress made over the past few hours had been significant. It even exceeded the leadership’s expectations.
The Civil Defense in Gaza told Agence France-Presse that 450,000 Palestinians have been displaced. They moved from Gaza City to the southern part of the Strip since the start of the Israeli military operation to occupy the city in late August.
An Israeli military spokesman told the agency that Tel Aviv estimates the number of Palestinians displaced at approximately 480,000.
