Gaza Faces Renewed Displacement as Israeli Air Strikes Intensify

A new wave of Israeli air strikes across the Gaza Strip has triggered the mass displacement of hundreds of Palestinian families, according to witnesses. The bombardments, which targeted densely populated eastern neighborhoods including Shujaiya, Tuffah, and Zeitoun in Gaza City, have led to significant civilian casualties and a deepening humanitarian crisis.

Rescue teams have recovered the bodies of five people, while dozens more injured civilians were evacuated to Al-Ahli Hospital. One strike reportedly hit a school in Zeitoun that was sheltering displaced families, and the five fatalities occurred in a strike at the Al Shati camp.

This escalation follows one of the largest evacuation orders issued since the conflict resumed in March, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) instructing residents to leave large parts of northern Gaza. Many displaced families, like Abeer Talba, a mother of seven from Zeitoun, found themselves forced to flee for the seventh time, facing dire conditions with no food or water.

The intensified attacks come amid increasing pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refocus efforts on reaching a ceasefire agreement. Fears are mounting that the sustained air strikes and evacuation orders are part of a broader Israeli plan to expand its ground offensive deeper into Gaza, despite speculation in Israeli media that military operations may be nearing their objectives.
