Israel says that Gaza City Ground’s offensive against Hamas is underway, as Rubio says time

After a night of heavy air attacks, the Israeli army on Tuesday announced that its expanded operation in the city of Gaza “to destroy Hamas Military Infrastructure” has begun and warned residents to move to the south. Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adree announced the expansion of Israel’s operation in an X publication, renewing a warning for the city of Gaza hungry residents to evacuate.

Many Palestinians, tens of thousands of whom had sought refuge in the city of Gaza after fleeing the north areas in the middle of Israel’s offensive against Hamas – They have said they cannot evacuate due to overcrowding in southern Gaza and the high transport price.

Israel’s defense forces announced the launch of the next stage of “Operation Gideon Chariots”, saying that two divisions had begun to push the heart of the city of Gaza, with two regular divisions that operate in the surrounding area. He said that a third division would join the operation in the next few days.

“They will surround the city of Gaza everywhere,” said the IDF.

After weeks of threatening an expansion of the Israeli military operation in the city of Gaza, the Israeli defense minister, Israel Katz, also pointed out on Tuesday that he had begun.

“Gaza is burning,” he said early in the morning. “The (Israel military) is surprising with an iron fist in the terrorist infrastructure and the soldiers are struggling heroically to create the conditions for the launch of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas. We will not yield and we will not return, until the end of the mission.”

The United Nations estimated on Monday that more than 220,000 Palestinians have fled from northern Gaza during the past month, after the Israeli army warned that all residents should leave the city of Gaza before the operation. It is estimated that 1 million Palestinians lived in the region around the city of Gaza before evacuation warnings.

Palestinian residents reported strong strikes in Gaza City on Tuesday morning. The city’s Shifa hospital said he received the bodies of 20 people killed in a strike that hit several houses in a western neighborhood, with another 90 injured reaching the installation in the last hours.

“A very hard night in Gaza,” said Dr. Mohamed Abu Selmiyah, director of the Shifa Hospital, The News

“The bombing did not stop for a single moment,” he said. “There are still bodies under the rubble.”

The Israeli army did not respond to immediate requests for comments on strikes, but in the past he accused Hamas of building military infrastructure within civil areas, especially in the city of Gaza.

Rubio said that “a negotiated agreement” remained the best option, while recognizing the dangers that an intensified military campaign raised to Gaza.

“The only worse than a war is a prolonged one that continues forever,” said Rubio. “At some point, this has to end. At some point, Hamas has to be discouraged, and we hope it can happen through a negotiation. But I think the time, unfortunately, is running out.”
