Israel has mobilized thousands of reservists as ground forces push deeper into Gaza City, marking a significant escalation in military operations. The mobilization involves 60,000 reservists reporting for duty in connection with the current Gaza offensive.
Israeli ground forces are conducting active operations across Gaza City, with particular focus on residential areas. Hospital sources report more than 50 people were killed by Israeli strikes on Tuesday alone.
Children killed in safe zone
Five children were killed while fetching water in the designated safe zone of al-Mawasi, according to Guardian reports. Visual evidence from al-Nasser hospital shows children's bodies alongside bloodied water jugs.
The strikes targeted multiple districts across western Gaza City, including Zeitoun and Shijaiyah areas. These neighbourhoods have been subject to previous military operations during the nearly two-year conflict.
Military operations intensify
The scale of reservist mobilization indicates preparations for extended military operations in Gaza. Ground forces are already engaged in active combat within the city as the offensive continues.
Health officials document ongoing violations of safe zone designations, with civilian casualties mounting in areas previously deemed protected. The current operations represent a significant escalation in the ongoing Gaza conflict.
