Israeli forces intensify bombardment and ground operations in Gaza City, killing at least 91 people and forcing hundreds of thousands to flee south. The offensive, described as Israel’s most punishing in two years, destroys residential buildings and civilian infrastructure. A UN commission concludes Israel’s war on Gaza constitutes genocide, citing specific intent to destroy Palestinians. International criticism mounts, with UN chief Guterres calling the offensive “horrendous” and other leaders condemning the violence. The Israeli army admits it may take months to gain control of the city.
