Overview

  • The IDF approved the operational framework for a new Gaza City offensive aimed at seizing the enclave’s main urban center, military statements confirm.
  • Air and tank attacks have surged in eastern neighbourhoods of Gaza City, forcing mass displacement westward and raising civilian death tolls.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 61,000 deaths since October 2023, the WHO warns of a catastrophic health system and COGAT denies signs of widespread famine.
  • A coalition of 32 countries condemned the humanitarian plight as “unimaginable,” demanding urgent measures to prevent famine and allow unobstructed aid deliveries.
  • Hostage-linked ceasefire talks remain stalled as Prime Minister Netanyahu insists on full prisoner releases and Israeli military leaders publicly clash over operational control.
