Israel’s military says it has “completed the encirclement of Gaza City”.
In a statement, Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said its forces had been attacking outposts, headquarters and other infrastructure being used by Hamas.
Located in the north of the Gaza Strip, Gaza City was the most densely populated part of the strip before the war began, but on 13 October Israel ordered civilians in northern Gaza to move south.
It’s unclear how many civilians are currently in Gaza City, but images from today showed widespread destruction across the city and empty streets.
