Israel Unleashes Massive Ground Assault on Gaza City
Israel's ground offensive in Gaza City has displaced approximately 350,000 Palestinians amid intense bombardment and widespread destruction of residential buildings, officials reported.
- On Tuesday, Israeli forces launched a ground operation and heavy bombardment in Gaza City, killing at least 106 people and displacing hundreds of thousands.
- The offensive followed weeks of air strikes on Gaza, and an Israeli estimate said about 350,000 people fled within the city while another 190,000 left entirely.
- The Israeli army used explosive robots destroying multiple buildings including the Aybaki Mosque, while thousands of residents fled under intense shelling and air strikes.
- UN Secretary-General António Guterres called the war "morally, politically and legally intolerable" and described Gaza's destruction as "horrendous" amid accusations of genocide by UN inquiries.
- The ongoing assault could take months to control Gaza City, and the large-scale displacement and destruction warn of a worsening humanitarian crisis and ongoing violence.
