Israel's Intense Battle for Control in Gaza City

Palestinian families in Gaza City are fleeing past tanks as Israel begins to storm the city in the next stage of the conflict. Israel's military gave civilians a four-hour window to leave the encircled city, but hundreds of thousands are feared to still be trapped. The World Health Organization warns that medical supplies are critically low, and the UN secretary general calls for an urgent ceasefire. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, indicates that Israel plans to maintain control over Gaza for an "indefinite period." Both sides have rejected calls for a ceasefire, and rights groups accuse both Israel and Hamas of war crimes.
