On Monday, Palestinians undertook the challenging task of digging under collapsed buildings to recover the bodies of families who lost their lives in strikes around Gaza.
Simultaneously, Israeli forces engaged militants in the territory’s two largest cities, where a considerable number of civilians remain trapped by the ongoing conflict.
Reports from residents indicated that battles persisted in and around the southern city of Khan Younis, where Israeli ground forces initiated a new offensive last week.
Fighting also continued in parts of Gaza City and the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, leaving substantial areas in ruins, the Associated Press reported.
Israel has committed to pursuing military operations until it removes Hamas from power, dismantles its military capabilities, and secures the release of all hostages taken during Hamas’ surprise attack into Israel on October 7, which triggered the ongoing conflict.
The Israeli campaign has resulted in the deaths of thousands of Palestinian civilians and displaced nearly 85% of the territory’s 2.3 million residents from their homes.
