Early Monday, an explosive ambush shook Sheikh Radwan in northwestern Gaza City. Three Hamas militants approached an Israeli tank, opened fire and tossed a bomb into its hatch. The blast set the vehicle ablaze, tragically killing all four soldiers inside. 💥😔
According to the Israeli military’s initial probe, troops returned fire and hit one of the attackers, while one Israeli soldier was left with moderate wounds. This attack pushes the total number of Israeli soldier fatalities since October 2023 to 903.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video briefing that, over the past 48 hours, Israeli forces have demolished 50 multi-story buildings in Gaza. Among them was the 14-floor “Vision” tower in western Gaza City, leveled by an airstrike as part of the widening assault.
Netanyahu warned local residents to evacuate, calling these strikes “just the prelude” to a major ground operation. “Our forces are organizing and gathering for a ground maneuver into Gaza City,” he said, urging civilians to move to safer areas immediately.
For tech-savvy youth tracking every update on Twitter or WhatsApp, this latest escalation underscores how fast events can spiral. With both sides bracing for a deeper push into the city, the human and urban toll is already mounting.
