The Israeli army on Saturday said that Palestinians in Gaza City, the largest urban area of ​​the enclave, should leave for the south, warning that the army operated through the city.
The Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee wrote on X that residents had to leave the city for a designated coastal area in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, who assured them to flee that they could receive food, medical care and shelter.

The attack is in danger of moving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who are hiding there for almost two years of fighting. Before the war, about a million people, almost half of the Gaza population, lived in the city.

The army has been carrying out heavy strikes on the city for weeks and went through the suburbs of the suburbs, and this week the troops were within a few kilometers from the city center.

Landmark Gaza City Tower Targeted

On Friday, the Israeli army bombarded a high -rise building in the west of the city that was used for surveillance according to Hamas and that citizens were warned in advance.
Palestinians said the strike focused on the Mushtaha tower in Rimal, a luxury neighborhood for the war.

The army has not provided any evidence that militants used the building.

Photos of the building before Friday’s strike showed that the roof was already badly damaged by earlier raids.

Images showed the moment that the building was beaten, collapsed moments after impact and steering thick clouds of smoke that shelter over nearby tent camps that protect the Palestinians.
The management of the building issued a statement that it was used for Palestinians who were displaced and denied by the war that it was used for something other than civil purposes.

30 Palestinians were killed on Friday by the Israeli army, including 20 in Gaza City on Friday, said the Health Minister of Gaza.

New Hamas Gostage Video released

Hamas has released a video of two Israeli hostages seized by a music festival in Israel in October 2023, and one says he is being held in Gaza City.
Guy Gilboa-Dalal and Alon Ohel are two of the 48 people who are still being held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with 20 thought they are still alive.

Palestinian militants took 251 hostages to the enclave after the cross-border attack on southern Israeli communities in 2023 in which around 1,200 people were killed, activating the war.

The video was edited and contained an exhausted Gilboa-Dalal that spoke about three and a half minutes. He is seen in the backseat of a car for a part of the video of 28 August.

The Reuters news agency could not independently determine when the video was recorded.
Gilboa-Dalal says that he is being held in Gaza City together with various other hostages and that he is afraid of being killed by Israel’s offensive in the city.

Gilboa-Dalal was seen in a video in February and was forced to see how other hostages were released under a temporary cease-fire. Hostages filmed in similar videos and have since been liberated, have said that their abductors had dictated them what to say.

Towards the end of the clip he is shown to meet another prisoner, Alon Ohel. It is the first video to be released from Ohel since he was abducted.
Human Rights Watch, based in the US, has condemned Hamas and other militant groups in the Gaza Strip for the release of videos of hostages, and mentions the inhuman treatment that comes down to a war crime.
Israeli officials have described the videos as psychological warfare.
Since then, more than 64,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, the local health authorities, with a large part of the enclave, say in ruins and the residents who are confronted with a humanitarian crisis.
