Hey fam! 🌍 Israel’s military has seriously stepped up its air and ground strikes on the suburbs of Gaza City. Over the weekend, neighborhoods like Sheikh Radwan were hit by tank shelling and air raids, flattening homes and pushing families to scramble for safety in the western parts of the city.
Local health authorities report at least 18 people killed on Sunday. That includes 13 civilians who were queuing for aid—imagine waiting at your favorite hawker stall or roadside chai spot—and 2 more inside a family home in Gaza City. The Israeli military says it’s reviewing these casualty numbers.
In a big update, Hamas confirmed one of its senior military leaders was killed during the strikes, marking a major loss for their command as tensions keep rising.
Israel has been stepping up operations around Gaza City for three weeks, even ending temporary pauses that let aid trucks through, and labeling the zone "dangerous combat." 🚨 Now, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet is set to meet Sunday evening to plan the next move in what he’s calling the mission to seize Gaza City—Hamas’ “last bastion.” 🤔
As more families keep moving from one shelter to another—some now in makeshift camps farther from the front lines—humanitarian concerns are growing. Aid groups warn that halting delivery pauses and ongoing clashes could worsen food, water, and medicine shortages.
We’ll keep you posted as this story unfolds. Here’s hoping for a ceasefire and a chance for displaced families to return home soon. 🙏
