The Israeli military has officially commenced the first stages of its assault on Gaza City, calling up approximately 60,000 reservists to support the operation. This comes as the IDF moves to encircle Hamas and expand its military activities, with Palestinian residents expressing fear and uncertainty about potential displacement. Local hospitals are facing overwhelming occupancy rates as attacks intensify. Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel is reportedly pushing ahead with its offensive and has plans to relocate civilians to southern Gaza. Protests have erupted in Tel Aviv, where residents are demanding an end to the war and a resolution to the hostage crisis. As Israel’s military plans escalate, the situation in Gaza remains dire, with many residents feeling trapped and without resources.
