'Gaza is burning', Israel says as it launches ground operation
- On Tuesday, Israel launched a long-awaited ground offensive targeting Hamas military infrastructure in Gaza City amid intensified airstrikes.
- The offensive follows October 7’s Hamas attack that killed 1,200 Israelis and led Netanyahu last month to order capturing Gaza City, while Israel had warned residents to evacuate for a month.
- Heavy Israeli airstrikes killed at least 34 Palestinians overnight, prompting tens of thousands to flee northern Gaza despite overcrowding and transport challenges.
- The U.S. Secretary of State emphasized the urgency of reaching an agreement within a very limited timeframe—likely just days or a few weeks—stressing that the deal must involve Hamas disarming and the liberation of hostages.
- The offensive intensified international condemnation, with a UN report accusing Israel of genocide and Spain summoning Israel’s ambassador twice over comments by its foreign minister.
