💔 This Sunday, Israeli forces blew up more residential blocks in Gaza City, killing at least 31 Palestinians, according to Gazan health authorities.
🚨 Among the victims were a pregnant woman and her two children. “The mother, the boy, the girl, and the baby in her womb – we found them all gone,” said Mosallam Al-Hadad, the victim’s father-in-law. His son was seriously injured.
🎯 Israel says these buildings were used by Hamas fighters. The military reports killing “numerous” militants and discovering weapons stashes.
🚜 Tanks rolled into Tel Al-Hawa, a crowded suburb in the southeast, pushing deeper into what Israel calls Hamas’s last stronghold in Gaza City.
👥 Since early September, Israel estimates over 450,000 people fled the city. Hamas counters that about 300,000 have left and 900,000 remain amid the rubble.
💥 In southern Israel, air raid sirens wailed as Gaza militants fired two rockets. One was intercepted; the other landed in an open field. No one was hurt.
🌍 The offensive in Gaza City has drawn global criticism. Some of Israel’s Western allies are moving to recognize a Palestinian state ahead of the UN General Assembly.
🕊 Families of Israeli hostages held by Hamas—around 48 people—are anxiously watching, hoping for a deal to end the war and bring their loved ones home.
