Israel’s ground forces are pushing toward Gaza City as the U.S. and Arab nations step up their efforts to broker a temporary halt in the fighting.
Israel's ground troops advanced toward Gaza City on Thursday as the U.S. and Arab countries intensified diplomatic efforts to ease the siege of the Hamas-ruled enclave and bring about at least a brief stop to the fighting to help civilians. More than 9,000 Palestinians have been killed since the war broke out, health officials said. President Biden suggested a humanitarian “pause” the day before, as an apparent agreement among the U.S.
Airstrikes on Tuesday and Wednesday destroyed apartment blocks in Jabaliya, but the number of dead and wounded remained unknown. Israel said the strikes killed militants and demolished Hamas tunnels. Palestinian militants fired antitank missiles, set off explosive devices and hurled grenades at Israeli troops during an overnight battle, the Israeli military said Thursday. It said soldiers returned fire and called in artillery, as well as strikes from a helicopter and a naval ship.
