In a devastating escalation, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a full-scale assault on Deir al-Balah — the last standing city in Gaza — attacking by land, sea, and air. Medical sources report at least 65 Palestinians killed, including women and children, as residential areas, mosques, and shelters were struck.
This latest offensive follows a forced evacuation order from the Israeli military, which triggered a mass exodus of civilians already displaced by previous bombardments. Humanitarian agencies warn the situation is now “catastrophic,” with nowhere left to flee and growing fears of famine and mass civilian casualties.
We bring you the latest updates from the ground, as well as international reactions and the voices of those calling for an immediate ceasefire.
