Mounting Tensions as Gaza City Faces Siege and Humanitarian Crisis
The Israeli military intensifies bombardments on Gaza City amid plans to seize the enclave's largest city. While a proposed ceasefire remains unacknowledged by the Israeli government, Gaza's residents stage protests. The situation grows dire as Israeli forces edge closer and humanitarian conditions worsen.

Intense Israeli military bombardments continue to throttle Gaza City as plans to seize control of the enclave's largest city advance, despite global disapproval. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to meet with cabinet officials on Thursday to push forward these strategies, having called up 60,000 reservists to support the operation.
In parallel, a ceasefire proposal endorsed by Hamas awaits Israel's official response. The plan suggests a 60-day truce along with mutual release of hostages and prisoners, but Netanyahu faces internal coalition pressures to reject it.
Residents in Gaza City, under relentless shelling, are faced with dire choices as they protest against the escalating violence. The humanitarian crisis deepens, with displaced families, soaring malnutrition, and pleas for international aid as the military edges closer.
