Hamas has reported “heavy fighting” with Israeli troops in northern Gaza as Israel enters a new stage in its offensive, warning residents to evacuate southward. Israel released footage showing tanks and infantry operating in Palestinian territory, claiming to have targeted over 450 terror sites. The urban warfare shift prompts Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari to advise Palestinian civilians to move to safer areas. With 23 days since Hamas’ cross-border raids, over 8,000 people, mostly civilians, are reported dead. The UN expresses concern over Gaza’s siege, intense bombing, and shortage of aid, while the International Criminal Court warns blocking aid may be a “crime.”
