‘We Are in Critical Minutes’: Gaza City Assault Spurs Widespread Israeli Protests Amid Fear for Hostages

The Israeli army claims Hamas used Al-Sousi Tower for intelligence, ordering evacuation before its destruction; over two million Gazans have faced displacement, officials report.

  • This escalation follows the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which led to hostages taken into Gaza and ongoing conflict marked by calls for ceasefire deals.
  • Hostage families and Israeli civilians protested intensively across Israel, demanding a halt to the offensive and a prioritized ceasefire amid fears for the hostages' lives.
  • US President Donald Trump stated the US is in "very deep negotiations" with Hamas, while Defense Minister Israel Katz asserted, "We continue," signaling ongoing military pressure despite risks to hostages.
  • The offensive has killed thousands, displaced hundreds of thousands, and intensified humanitarian crises, while Israeli leaders insist on maximalist terms for war's end including Hamas's surrender and full hostage release.
