Israel declares Gaza City a ‘dangerous combat zone’ ahead of planned offensive

The decision comes as Israel reportedly prepares to widen its offensive in the city, following recent strikes and the call-up of tens of thousands of reservists.

Last month, Israel had implemented "tactical pauses" from 10 am to 8 pm in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Muwasi, allowing food and aid supplies to enter these areas where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.
