Associated Press reported that Israeli military units have expanded their operations in northern Gaza Strip. The news agency added that recent operations by the Israeli army, including extensive ground operations in the north and east of Gaza City, indicate a focus on this city. Israeli officials have emphasized that their goal is to destroy the Hamas group. The Israeli army's attacks on Gaza began following attacks by Hamas militants on Israel, which resulted in over 1,400 deaths, most of whom were civilians. Hamas officials, who control Gaza, claim that over 8,300 people have been killed due to Israeli attacks, most of whom are civilians. News agencies have stated that they cannot verify these figures.
