• Israeli PM Netanyahu urges immediate evacuation of Gaza City amid intensified military strikes.
• Israel boasts destruction of 50 buildings in two days as part of ground maneuver preparations.
• US President Trump issues a final warning to Hamas, urging compliance with proposed ceasefire terms.
• Israeli airstrikes have resulted in significant Palestinian civilian casualties, raising international concern.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stark warning to residents of Gaza City, urging them to evacuate as Israeli forces prepare for intensified military operations described as a "mighty hurricane." Netanyahu stated that in just two days, the Israeli military has destroyed 50 buildings, emphasizing that this is merely the prelude to a larger ground offensive aimed at occupying the city's urban center. "You have been warned, leave now," he asserted in a video statement, indicating the urgency of the situation while noting that "all of this is just a prelude" to more significant military actions, according to India Times, India Times, and TRT Global.

As tensions escalate further, at least 39 civilians were reportedly killed in one day due to ongoing Israeli airstrikes, with 25 fatalities occurring in Gaza City alone. This violence is a direct response to a recent attack in Jerusalem, where two Palestinian gunmen killed six people. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated that such acts of violence have strengthened Israel's determination to combat terrorism, according to South China Morning Post, India Times, and TRT Global.

Netanyahu’s remarks come amid significant international outrage over the humanitarian crisis developing in Gaza, where over 64,500 Palestinian casualties have been reported since the onset of the war. Despite repeated calls for a ceasefire from Western nations and humanitarian agencies, Israel continues its offensive. Defense Minister Israel Katz reiterated a "final warning" to Hamas, threatening annihilation unless the militant group lays down arms and releases hostages. This escalating rhetoric is part of an alarming trend, marking a dangerous escalation in the ongoing conflict, according to India Times, South China Morning Post, and TRT Global.
