Israel attacks northern Gaza from east and west
On Monday, Israeli forces launched an assault on the primary northern city of Gaza from both its eastern and western flanks.
This action comes three days after the commencement of ground operations within the Palestinian territory, which has escalated international pressure to safeguard civilian lives.
Israel’s military reported targeting over 600 objectives in the past few days as it expanded ground manoeuvres in the Gaza Strip. This escalation occurs as Palestinian civilians face urgent requirements for essential resources such as fuel, food, and clean water, with the conflict now entering its fourth week.
“Dozens” of tanks entered the Zaytun district in south of the Palestinian territory´s main city, cutting a key road from the north to the south of the Gaza Strip for more than an hour, witnesses told AFP journalists in southern Gaza by phone.
“They have cut the Salahedin road and are firing at any vehicle that tries to go along it,” said one resident who did not want to be identified.
