"Gaza City Residents Brave Dangerous Evacuation Amid Israeli Army Presence"

Residents of Gaza City wave white flags as they evacuate along a dangerous route ahead of an expected ground invasion by the Israeli army. Hamas accuses the IDF of forcing the evacuees to wave flags to humiliate them. Israel claims its troops have been attacked by Hamas fighters emerging from tunnels in Gaza City. Israeli airstrikes in southern cities kill 23 people, including civilians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects a proposal for a pause in fighting to allow more aid into Gaza, stating that Israel will secure the region indefinitely after removing Hamas from power. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with depleted supplies of food, medicine, fuel, and water.
