Israel has declared Gaza City a “dangerous combat zone” and suspended humanitarian pauses that earlier allowed aid deliveries. The Israeli military said it is now operating “with great force” on the city’s outskirts, striking Hamas targets in preparation for a larger assault. Israel’s security cabinet approved a plan to occupy Gaza City, calling it a Hamas stronghold and a possible location of remaining hostages. Families of hostages warned such actions risk their lives. The UN said the offensive will cause a “horrific humanitarian impact.” Around one million Palestinians are expected to be forced south as fighting escalates. (PC: Sky News)
