Overview

• Defense Minister Israel Katz posted video confirming the strike on the 15‑story Sousi Tower, the second tower demolished in two days.
• The military dropped leaflets urging residents to move to a designated humanitarian zone in al‑Mawasi and parts of Khan Younis, saying food, medical care and shelter would be provided.
• Gaza civil defence reported 56 Palestinians killed on Saturday, including people near an aid distribution site, figures that independent outlets said they could not immediately verify.
• Many in Gaza City are staying put despite warnings, with local activists estimating roughly 80% have refused or are unable to relocate due to danger, overcrowding and lack of resources.
• Israel says the targeted towers contained Hamas infrastructure and claims control over about 40% of Gaza City, assertions Hamas disputes as aid groups caution that further displacement will worsen a declared famine.
