Hey fam, here's the latest on the Gaza City frontlines: Israeli officials have vowed to push their offensive full throttle, with heavy air and ground strikes pounding the area. 🚨
Israel Katz, the Israeli defense minister, says the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) will keep up the pressure to defeat Hamas (the Palestinian group controlling Gaza) and secure the release of hostages. Basically, they've got a three-point plan: end the war under Israel's terms, get hostages back, and hold permanent security control over the Gaza Strip. 🔒
In the north, the IDF says it's moving deeper into Jabaliya, targeting tunnels and militant hideouts above and underground. The goal? Stop Hamas fighters from regrouping and strengthen Israel's hold on the area. 🎯
Meanwhile, the human cost is soaring. Gaza health authorities report at least eight deaths from starvation in 24 hours, bringing the total famine toll since March to 281—including 114 children. 💔 Shortages of food, water, and medicine have pushed families to the brink.
Since October 2023, more than 62,000 people in Gaza have been killed by air strikes and shootings, according to local health data. The rising famine and civilian toll has sparked global outcry, with aid groups calling for safe corridors to deliver life-saving supplies. 🌍🤲
