The Gaza City assault has entered a deadly new stage. Israel launched a large-scale operation with airstrikes and ground forces pushing deep into the city. Thousands of troops are fighting on the ground, while tens of thousands of reservists have been called up to reinforce them. This mobilisation highlights both the scale of the campaign and the government’s determination to capture Gaza City.
Dozens Killed in Strikes
The Gaza City assault has already killed dozens of people and injured many more. Israeli strikes destroyed residential areas, leaving entire families among the casualties. Doctors in Gaza say hospitals cannot cope as resources run dangerously low. The health system now faces collapse under the weight of the offensive.
Military Seeks Control of City
Israeli officials say the goal is to dismantle Hamas’ military presence and secure control of the city. Commanders describe Gaza City as a vital hub for Hamas operations. Therefore, they argue that capturing it will weaken the group’s command structure during this Gaza City assault. Although no clear timeline has been set, the scale of the troop build-up points to a prolonged campaign.
Humanitarian Crisis Deepens
Meanwhile, civilians trapped inside Gaza City face worsening conditions. Bombardments have cut off supply routes, blocking food, water, and medicine. Families already displaced by earlier fighting are once again caught in the crossfire. Aid groups warn that the assault on Gaza City is pushing the region into a deeper humanitarian disaster.
Uncertain Road Ahead
The assault shows no sign of slowing. Observers question how long Israel can sustain such intense operations and whether diplomatic pressure will force a ceasefire. For now, destruction and fear dominate life in Gaza, while the world watches the growing cost of the conflict.
