The internet and the lines of the cut phone through Gaza, where the Israeli terrestrial operations are expected to escalate

The residents said on Thursday that the Israeli tanks were seen in two areas in Gaza City, which are gates to the city center, while the Internet and phone lines were cut through the Gaza Strip, a sign that the ground operations are likely to escalate.

The Israeli forces control the eastern suburbs of Gaza City, and in recent days it was bombing the areas of Sheikh Radwan Will Al -Hawa, where they are placed for progress in the central and western regions where most of the population protects.

“The separation of Internet and phone services is bad. It has always been a bad sign of something that will happen,” said Ismail, who gave only one name. He was using E-Sim to connect his phone, which is a dangerous way because it requires searching for a higher floor to receive a signal.

“The situation around me is very desperate. People in tents and homes are very concerned about their lives. Many cannot leave, but many do not want it,” said a spokesman from a coastal area in the west of the city.

Hard target road roads

The local health authorities said that at least 14 Palestinians were killed by Israeli strikes or shooting through the Gaza Strip on Thursday, including nine in Gaza City.

The Palestinian Telecom Company said in a statement that its services were cut “due to the ongoing aggression and the targeting of the main network roads.”

In its latest statement to the media, the Israeli army said that the forces were expanding their operations in Gaza City, dismantling what was called “terrorist infrastructure” and “eliminating terrorists”. The statement did not mention the blackouts or give any details of the tank movements.

She also said that the army was continuing to work in Khan Yunis and Rafah in the south.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled in Gaza City since Israel announced on August 10 that it aims to control, but there is a greater number that remains, either in the destroyed houses between antiquities or in temporary tent camps.

The army was falling on leaflets urging residents to flee towards a “humanitarian area” dedicated to the south of the region, but there are harsh conditions, with insufficient food, medicine, space and insufficient shelter.

Israel says it wants to destroy the Palestinian armed group Hamas in its strongholds and liberate the last hostage who are still being held in Gaza, but its last major attack after two years of the devastating war has led to international condemnation.

The tanks that advance to the neighborhoods are seen

In Sheikh Radwan, which is located north of the city center, he was bombed in recent days, residents said they saw tanks in the heart of their neighborhood.

They also said that the Israeli forces had detonated four drivers without explosives, and that the explosions destroyed many houses.

Similar explosions rocked Hill Al Hurra, which is located southeast of the city center, and the residents also reported seeing tanks in the streets.

Israel announced on Tuesday that it would launch the main stage of its ground assault, but the bombing of many areas of Gaza City began in previous days.

Israel said on Wednesday that it was opening an additional road outside the city for 48 hours, and urged civilians to move in the south.

Data from international relief agencies indicate that more than 55,000 people fled from North Gaza between Sunday and Wednesday, but more than half a million did not leave, according to the estimates of both Israeli and Hamas.

The total number of Palestinian deaths exceeds the two -year war between Israel and Hamas 65,000 on Wednesday, according to the health authorities in Gaza. Palestinian officials and rescue workers say the real number is likely to be higher than that there are besieged remains under the rubble of destroyed buildings.

The war arose by Hamas’s attacks on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken, according to the Israeli return.

A large part of Gaza City was placed early in the war, but about a million Palestinians returned to the houses between the rubble due to the terrible conditions in the displacement areas.
