Gaza City residents say they are seeing some of heaviest fighting since start of war
Gaza City residents say that they are seeing some of the heaviest fighting since the start of the war triggered by the Hamas onslaught on October 7.
The Israeli military sent columns of tanks into the city from different directions, residents say.
The Gaza Civil Emergency Service says they believe there have been casualties in eastern Gaza areas but emergency teams were unable to reach them because of ongoing offensives in Tel Al-Hawa, Sabra, Daraj, Rimal, and Tuffah suburbs.
The IDF said the operation was launched following intelligence of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad infrastructure and terror operatives in the area.
