Overview

  • Israeli forces intensified air and ground fire around Gaza City’s suburbs after ending daytime pauses and ordering residents to head south.
  • Hospitals and local authorities reported dozens killed since Saturday, including at least 13 people shot near an aid site in central Gaza and others struck across the city.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet was set to meet Sunday to consider plans to seize Gaza City, with a larger ground push not expected for weeks.
  • Israeli leaders said a strike killed Hamas spokesman Abu Obeida, a claim not confirmed by Hamas as Netanyahu acknowledged the outcome was unverified.
