Israeli air strikes on Gaza have displaced hundreds of Palestinian families, witnesses report. Dozens of raids targeted densely populated areas, including Shujaiya, Tuffah, and Zeitoun, causing widespread destruction and chaos. Five people were killed, and dozens injured, with one strike reportedly hitting a school sheltering displaced families. The IDF had issued evacuation orders beforehand, but many displaced families remained within Gaza City. Amid a growing humanitarian crisis, concerns are rising about a potential ground offensive, while pressure mounts on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to pursue a ceasefire.
