Israeli army targeting high-rise residential buildings in Gaza City
While people are trying to hear more about the response from Hamas and a potential ceasefire agreement, they’re keeping their eyes up to the sky, trying to hide from the unpredictable falling bombs.
The Israeli military, since the early hours of this morning, is carrying out deadly attacks. Bombs are being dropped on residential buildings in the eastern and northern parts of Gaza City.
They’re clearing the city from any of the high-rise buildings around here. Almost 10 of these buildings have been completely destroyed from the early hours of this morning.
Also, a vehicle was targeted in the past few hours in the northern part of Gaza City around a medical complex. Three people inside the vehicle were killed.

Aid rots in Jordan as Palestinians starve in Gaza: Report
About 200,000 tonnes of flour is going bad in Jordan as the desperate people of Gaza await a flood of aid after three months of Israeli restrictions on food, water, and medicine, a news report says.
Boxed meals that could feed 200,000 people for a month are going bad in warehouses as starvation worsens by the day in the besieged Palestinian territory. “Some of the food we have is arriving at expiration in July … Some of it will have to be dumped,” UNRWA spokesman Jonathan Fowler told NPR.
Israeli officials have told UN authorities they will no longer allow in aid from Jordan or neighbouring Egypt as the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation takes over crucial relief deliveries, it said.
Israel’s army issues ‘immediate evacuation’ order for south Gaza
Israel’s military has ordered “all residents” of Khan Younis, Bani Suheila, and Abasan to evacuate immediately after rockets were earlier fired.
“Terrorist organizations continue to use your surroundings to launch rockets toward Israel. The [army] will aggressively attack any area used as a launching pad for terrorist activity,” military spokesperson Avichay Adraee said in a statement.
He added the area of southern Gaza “has been warned several times in the past and has been designated a dangerous combat zone”.
“Terrorist organizations have brought you disaster – for your own safety, evacuate immediately,” said Adraee.
