Israeli Tanks Advance into Gaza City Amid Heavy Shelling and Gunfire

Israeli tanks have advanced into multiple neighbourhoods of Gaza City over the past 24 hours, with reports of heavy shelling, explosions, and intense gunfire. New images confirm Israeli forces have reached Beach Camp in the west of the city, signalling a deep push since Sunday’s ground assault began. The military previously urged civilians to evacuate, with 640,000 reported to have left, though many remain trapped. Israeli units are using remotely detonated armoured vehicles to destroy buildings allegedly used by Hamas for military purposes. Drones and attack helicopters are heavily present in the skies. The assault involved three armoured divisions.
