Overview

  • The Israeli military struck the Sousi Tower after warning residents to leave, marking the second high-rise demolished in two days in Gaza City.
  • Residents said they received roughly 20 minutes to evacuate before the 15‑storey building was brought down, a claim Israel did not address directly.
  • The army urged civilians to relocate to al‑Mawasi and parts of Khan Younis designated as a humanitarian zone, which aid groups say is overcrowded and unsafe.
  • Gaza’s civil defense reported 56 Palestinians killed on Saturday, including 19 near an aid distribution point, figures the Israeli military said it was reviewing.
  • Benjamin Netanyahu said about 100,000 people have left Gaza City recently, as Islamic Jihad claimed two rocket launches toward Israel that caused no casualties.
