Civil emergency service says dozens killed in strikes launched after Israeli military issued evacuation orders
City have reported one of the heaviest attacks by Israeli forces since 7 October, sending thousands of Palestinians fleeing from an area already ravaged in the early weeks of the nine-month-long war.
Before the recent offensive, the Israeli military said it had issued evacuation orders in the targeted zone. “Eyewitnesses said that thousands of citizens were displaced from areas south-west of the city towards the north-west and spent the night on the streets without shelter,” the sources said. “Hamas is collapsing and begging for a ceasefire,” Smotrich wrote on X. “This is the time to squeeze the neck until we crush and break the enemy. To stop now, just before the end, and let him recover and fight us again, is a senseless folly.”
This is not the first time that far-right parties within the coalition have interfered with negotiations.
