The IDF says fighter jets are attacking Hamas targets in the Bureij neighborhood “at the same time as ground forces that are operating in a targeted manner and with intelligence guidance.”
The Israeli military launched a new ground and air assault in central Gaza on Tuesday, as its forces ramp up attacks amid a deepening humanitarian crisis. The IDF claimed Tuesday afternoon local time that fighter jets were attacking Hamas targets in the Bureij neighborhood “at the same time as ground forces that are operating in a targeted manner and with intelligence guidance,” in the same area. CNN cannot independently verify the IDF’s statement.
A woman in her 20s was also killed. Witnesses say civilians started to leave the Bureij area – heading towards the coast - after military activity there intensified. Another CNN producer reported tank-fire in recent days from the east-west Netzarim corridor that the IDF has carved through central Gaza towards neighborhoods south of Gaza city. He said there had been a limited ground incursion in the same neighborhoods over the past three days.
