After days of demolishing towers and mass flight ahead of Israel’s planned ground push, Palestinians report drones, gunships and artillery unleashing 37 strikes in 20 minutes, triggering a mass exodus; blasts felt as far as central Israel.

Axar.az reports, citing Ynet, Palestinian reports said the strikes focused on three main areas: Sheikh Radwan, al-Karama and Tel al-Hawa along the coast.

Residents said the military was using “booby-trapped robots” in some neighborhoods while Apache helicopters hovered over the city, firing repeatedly.

Displacement accelerated overnight as thousands fled northwest Gaza toward the coast and further south.

“The road south is very crowded, traffic is slow, many families are struggling to find transport and prices have surged sharply,” residents reported.
