Warning issued by Netanyahu to Gaza residents stating they should "vanish"
In a significant development, Israeli forces initiated the long-anticipated ground assault on Gaza City on Tuesday, marking the start of the main phase of the operation. The intense fighting has been reported in numerous streets across the city.
The exact time of the ground offensive's start is not clear, but it began on the day reported as Tuesday, shortly before the time of the report. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged Gaza City residents to flee ahead of the planned takeover of the area.
Netanyahu has indicated that the ground invasion will be the main phase of the operation. He also warned that what has happened so far is just the beginning of the ground invasion. The Israeli Army has already destroyed 50 high-rise buildings in Gaza City over the past two days, a move that Netanyahu described as the beginning of a main, intense operation.
The Israeli Air Force's actions have resulted in the destruction of multiple high-rise buildings, causing a catastrophic situation for the civilian population. According to estimates, approximately one million people were recently residing in Gaza City. Around 100,000 Palestinians have left the area so far.
Aid organizations have warned of a further deterioration of the civilian population's already dire situation. Netanyahu made this statement during a visit to the Israeli Air Force's command center, according to his office.
Israel's government intends to fully militarily occupy the city of Gaza. However, the exact details of the operation's scope and duration remain unclear. Israeli forces are currently organizing and gathering for the ground invasion.
This escalation in violence follows weeks of tension and conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza. The situation remains fluid, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
