Overview

  • Israeli warplanes demolished the 15‑story Sousi Tower after roughly 20 minutes’ warning, a day after the Mushtaha Tower was leveled; the IDF says Hamas used the buildings, a claim Hamas denies.
  • Military leaflets and online messages directed civilians to Al‑Mawasi and parts of Khan Younis labeled a humanitarian zone, while aid agencies report severe overcrowding, scant food, water and medical care.
  • Local civil defense and health officials reported at least 56 Palestinians killed Saturday, including 19 near an aid distribution point, and hospitals said strikes Sunday killed eight at a Gaza City school; the IDF said it targeted a militant and cited prior warnings.
  • Israel says it aims to seize Gaza City to force Hamas’ disarmament and secure hostage releases as protests by hostage families grow; Hamas reiterates support for a 60‑day truce tied to Israeli withdrawal and a prisoner exchange.
  • Regional tensions widened as Israel said a Houthi drone hit near Eilat’s Ramon Airport, halting flights, and Islamic Jihad claimed rockets fired toward Netivot, one intercepted and one landing in an open area.
