On Tuesday, November 7, Israel granted Gaza City civilians a 4-hour window from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm local time to evacuate the now-encircled city before a possible ground assault. Gaza residents say Israeli tanks have been moving mostly at night, with Israeli forces largely relying on air and artillery strikes to clear a path for their ground advance. The city is home to a third of the enclave's 2.3 million people. Israel says its forces have surrounded Gaza City in the month-long campaign against Hamas after the group's October 7 multi-front attack killed over 1,400 Israelis. Since Israel began strikes, over 10,000 Palestinians have died, about 40 percent of them children according to health officials in Gaza. Israel told residents to flee south through Wadi Gaza wetlands during the limited opening. Over 20 more Palestinians died in overnight strikes on southern Gaza cities.
