The Israeli military intensified operations with thousands of troops targeting Hamas militants while over 350,000 Gaza City residents have evacuated, local officials reported.

  • On September 17, 2025, Israeli tanks and troops advanced into densely populated Gaza City amid a new ground offensive.
  • The operation follows a nearly two-year war that began in October 2023 after a Hamas-led attack killed 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages.
  • Israeli forces struck over 150 targets in Gaza City to support ground troops while around 350,000 residents heeded evacuation orders amid heavy destruction and displacement.
  • The UN commission accused Israel of genocide, which Israel denies, while the EU proposed sanctions citing humanitarian concerns and Kaja Kallas stressed the aim to improve Gaza's situation.
  • The offensive deepens Gaza's humanitarian crisis with escalating casualties, mass displacement, communication blackouts, and international condemnation urging ceasefire and aid access.
