Israeli Tanks Attack Gaza Monday Morning, Great Fires Concave In The Heart Of The City
JAKARTA - Israeli troops (IDF) attacked Gaza City on Monday morning. Rows of tanks advanced to the heart of the city from various directions in what residents said was one of the biggest attacks since October 7.
Gaza's Civil Emergency Service said dozens of people were believed to have died but emergency teams were unable to reach them due to ongoing attacks in Daraj and Tuffah in the east and Tel Al-Hawa, Sabra, and Rimal in the west.
Israeli tanks are stationed in several areas of Tel Al-Hawa and Sabra but have not yet advanced into three other districts, which residents say have been bombed all night until the early hours of the morning.
"Some of the graded buildings have been destroyed," they added.
One of the Israeli tank attacks, said residents, came from the east, pushing people towards a west road near the Mediterranean.
"The enemy is behind us and the sea is in front of us, where are we going?" Abdel-Ghani, a resident of Gaza City, said.

Tanks and missiles from planes fell on roads and houses like mountains. People are running in all directions and no one knows where to go," Abdel-Ghani told Reuters via chat app.
The Israeli military said it was carrying out operations against militant infrastructure in the Gaza Strip, and had halted the actions of more than 30 fighters that pose a threat to Israeli forces.
