There are intensive, uninterrupted bombings of Gaza city, and the danger is increasing all the time, says witness Ahmed Ghazal to the news agency AFP.
According to Ghazal, several houses have been destroyed.
The attacks are reported to have begun already on Monday evening with, among other things, fighter jets, artillery and drones. American Axios reports that the Israeli army has now begun its ground offensive to occupy Gaza city, with references to Israeli sources.
There are also reports that the Israeli military's tanks have been spotted in Gaza city, writes The Jerusalem Post.
The bombings continue intensively over the entire Gaza city, and the number of dead and injured continues to rise, said Mahmud Bassal from the terrorist-stamped Hamas civilian defense authority during the night.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has visited Israel in recent days, has, according to AFP, expressed his support for Israel's offensive against Gaza city with the goal of eradicating Hamas.
