Israeli Forces Extend Presence in Gaza: Satellite Analysis Reveals

Satellite photos analyzed by the Associated Press (AP) reveal that Israeli tanks and armored vehicles advanced further into the Gaza Strip last week, as part of an offensive against Hamas militants. The images show Israeli forces positioned just south of Gaza City's marina, with vehicles on the beach and deep impact craters from missile fire. Plumes of smoke were also seen around Gaza City, including near the main hospital, Shifa. The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the satellite photos. The war has resulted in thousands of casualties, with Israel accusing hospitals of providing cover for Hamas militants, while staff members deny the allegations.
