On Thursday, the United Nations issued a stark warning that “nowhere is safe” in Gaza amid stepped-up Israeli air raids in preparation for a widely expected ground offensive.
With Israel retaliating after Hamas’s surprise October 7 attacks with strikes on almost every part of the Palestinian enclave, “people are left with nothing but impossible choices. Nowhere is safe in Gaza,” Lynne Hastings, UN humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territory, said in a statement.
On Thursday, Israeli ground forces operated within the northern Gaza Strip, attacking multiple Hamas targets before withdrawing, the military said in a statement on what Israel’s Army Radio described as the biggest invasion of the recent war.
