Fighting in the Gaza Strip has escalated with what residents described as some of the most intense Israeli bombardment of the war, even as the enemies held what Washington called “very serious discussions” on a new truce.
According to analysis from the Institute for the Study of War and the AEI Critical Threats Project, Israeli forces had begun transitioning from clearing operations to holding operations in some areas of the northern Gaza Strip.
Bombing was at its most intense over the northern part of the Gaza Strip, where orange flashes of explosions and black smoke could be seen as morning broke from across the fence in Israel. Planes roared overhead and the booms of air strikes thundered every few seconds, punctuated by rattling gunfire.
The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said more than 60% of Gaza’s infrastructure was destroyed or damaged, with more than 90% of the 2.3 million population uprooted.
In the ground war, Israeli tanks advanced further into the southern city of Khan Younis and shelled a market area but met heavy resistance, residents said.
Thousands of Hamas fighters, based in tunnels, are waging guerrilla-style war against Israeli forces.
