Intense fighting is reported in the hard-hit Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City. The neighborhood contains a high concentration of tunnel entrances and rocket launchers, and has seen some of the bloodiest ground fighting of the campaign.

IDF tanks are seen releasing smoke to hide their maneuvers in the area while ground troops reportedly advance.
