Overview

• Israel’s military ordered residents around the Al-Ra'i tower to evacuate toward Al‑Mawasi in Khan Yunis, citing Hamas infrastructure in or near the building.
• After issuing the warnings, the IDF said it hit a high‑rise in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan, a day after announcing a separate tower strike, and described precautions to limit civilian harm.
• The IDF says its forces now control roughly 40% of Gaza City and are fighting in areas including Zeitoun and on the edges of Sheikh Radwan, with reservists mobilized for urban operations.
• Hamas released a video dated August 28 that shows hostages Guy Gilboa‑Dalal and Alon Ohel and claims they are in Gaza City, as Israeli media report the military lacks a full picture of hostage locations.
• A classified dataset reported by the Guardian indicates only about one in four Palestinians detained since October 7 were identified as fighters, while independent assessments warn of famine conditions and rising civilian deaths.
