Israeli forces push into southern Gaza

Gaza, The Gulf Observer: Israeli forces pushed into southern Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled in search of shelter from Israeli bombardments and intense fighting between Israel and Palestinian resistance group Hamas.

Aid groups have sounded the alarm on the “apocalyptic” humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territory, warning it is on the brink of being overwhelmed by disease and starvation.

Hamas said that Israel had launched a series of “very violent raids” targeting the southern city of Khan Younis and the road from there to Rafah, near the border with Egypt.
