Palestinian media outlets report that Israeli ground forces advanced into Gaza City’s Tel al-Hawa neighborhood overnight, following a large wave of airstrikes.

The IDF at around 1 a.m. said it was carrying out airstrikes in the central Gaza Strip. Tel al-Hawa is located in the south of Gaza City, close to the Netzarim Corridor where the IDF maintains a presence.

Yesterday, the IDF called on Palestinians to evacuate the Tuffah, Daraj, and Old City neighborhoods of Gaza City.

The IDF is also still operating in the Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City.
