Israeli Forces Advance Deeper into Gaza City, Killing at Least 21 Palestinians Since Dawn

HeadlineSep 19, 2025

Israeli forces continue to advance deeper into Gaza City, forcing tens of thousands of Palestinians onto coastal roads away from the city center. Malnourished children and critically ill patients are among those displaced and ordered to walk south as Israel seeks to seize Gaza City. Speaking to Al Jazeera, Palestinians recount nonstop strikes, with the Israeli military blowing up entire neighborhoods. The World Health Organization warns hospitals are on the brink of collapse. Israeli soldiers have killed at least 21 Palestinians since dawn. Here’s Zahar Kafarna, a displaced Palestinian mother.

Zahar Kafarna: “They threw leaflets on us and told us to leave. Now there’s no place for me to go to. I don’t have a tent or anything. As you can see, we have been walking for four days. We’re in the street now. No tent, no shelter, nothing. I ask all relevant parties to support us, help us. We are tired. We’re really tired.”
