"Israel has pressed on with its offensive in Gaza as Donald Trump claimed again to be on the brink of a breakthrough in negotiations for a ceasefire in the devastated territory. Witnesses and medics said Israeli tanks were advancing through central and western neighbourhoods of Gaza City towards crowded coastal areas where hundreds of thousands of people are sheltering. The Israeli military launched a long-threatened ground offensive in the north of Gaza 12 days ago,"
"Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have complied with repeated orders to evacuate, but many have been unable to flee, often because they are ill, disabled, too frail or unable to afford expensive transport to safer areas. The Israel military said the air force had struck 140 military targets across Gaza in the last 24 hours, including militants and what it described as military infrastructure."
Israeli forces advanced through central and western neighbourhoods of Gaza City while tanks moved toward crowded coastal areas where hundreds of thousands shelter. A long-threatened ground offensive began in the north of Gaza 12 days ago after weeks of intensified strikes on Gaza City. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians complied with evacuation orders, but many could not flee because of illness, disability, frailty or lack of affordable transport. The Israeli air force reported striking 140 military targets in 24 hours, citing militants and military infrastructure. Health authorities reported multiple deadly strikes, with at least 77 people killed in the previous 24 hours.
