A short while ago, Israel started the second phase of its war on Gaza. A large number of tanks moved in from the southeastern part of Gaza, advancing towards the west.
They are now close to a junction that connects various parts of Gaza. If they reach and take control of the junction, they will effectively divide the south and north of Gaza, significantly hampering the movement of people.
Israeli forces issued a warning instructing people not to travel between the south and north of Gaza. Sources have also reported tanks moving from the northern part of Gaza towards Gaza City.
Heavy clashes were reported in the area.
“They have cut the Salah al-Din road and are firing at any vehicle that tries to go along it,” a resident told AFP news agency.
