Overview

• Medical staff reported at least 32 people killed in overnight strikes across Gaza City, including 12 children, with a family of 10 among the dead in Sheikh Radwan.
• Gaza’s civil defence said 50 were killed on Friday as Israel escalated attacks on high‑rise buildings it accuses Hamas of using, while UN agencies warn of famine conditions.
• The military said more than a quarter of a million residents have left Gaza City and announced larger civilian areas designated as ‘safe,’ but the UN estimates just over 100,000 departures since mid‑August and warns southern sites are overcrowded and costly to reach.
• Haaretz reported the IDF nearly doubled designated zones for civilians even as the army’s top legal adviser warned of uncertain legality due to inadequate humanitarian conditions in those areas.
• After a roadside bomb in Tulkarem lightly wounded two soldiers, Israeli forces encircled the city, imposed a curfew, and detained large groups, with videos and detainee accounts describing roughly a thousand men held overnight in an open field before most were released.
