Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have surrounded Gaza City from all directions, expanding their offensive under the operation Gideon’s Chariot. A new army division has been deployed to intensify the assault, with reports confirming that over 600,000 residents have already fled Gaza City. At least 36 Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours. While Hamas appears severely weakened and has avoided major clashes apart from isolated incidents, Israel continues its aggressive campaign despite recent recognition of Palestine by several influential countries.
