What’s Happening in Gaza City?
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Israeli forces have intensified their attacks on Gaza City as part of plans to occupy it, with Palestinians fleeing amid relentless bombardment and dire humanitarian conditions. What’s Happening? Thousands of Palestinians are being forcibly displaced each day by Israel’s ongoing, indiscriminate bombing of Gaza City, which is killing dozens of civilians daily. Families are fleeing south, following Israeli threats to head to the so-called 'safe zone' of al-Mawasi, an area that is overcrowded and has been repeatedly targeted by Israeli forces. According to the Palestinian Civil Defense, over 6,000 people were forced to flee the besieged city on Saturday. According to local sources on the ground, Gaza City is being systematically emptied, building by building, family by family. Sources added that Israeli forces have intensified their attacks on the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood, as well as the Shati and Remal, destroying over 30 residential buildings and shelters. Intisar Ashour, a resident of Tel al-Hawa who lived in an apartment in a residential building that was destroyed on Saturday, told Quds News Network: 'The bombardment continues heavily. We heard the sound of tanks near us. The Israeli forces destroyed many buildings. Israel wants to forcibly displace us through fire and killing.” Several people were killed in the attacks since Saturday, sources reported, adding in one attack in Tel al-Hawa, due to the blast of the strike, shrapnel and debris flew into a displacement camp sheltering families, killing and injuring many inside the tents. Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Sunday Israel has carried out “systematic bombing of towers, residential buildings, schools and civilian institutions with the aim of extermination and forced displacement” as its offensive on Gaza City continues this morning. “While it claims to be targeting the resistance, the field realities prove beyond doubt that the occupation deliberately and according to a clear methodology bombs schools, mosques, hospitals and medical centres, destroys towers and residential buildings, destroys displaced persons’ tents, and targets the headquarters of various institutions including international institutions working in the humanitarian field,” it said in a statement. Ashour noted that Israeli forces issued a bombing threat for the building; however, there was no time to flee or gather any belongings. “When people rushed to grab their things, they struck the building twice while people were still inside,” she said. “Not only are missiles raining down on us, but famine is consuming us as well," Ashour said.
Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said, “What is falling on Gaza is not just missiles, but barrels of fire and destructive volcanic lava that burn the land and everything on it.” This comes amid Israeli plans to occupy the Gaza City and forcibly displace one million people to the south.
