Israeli Attacks Kill Dozens in Gaza City as Some Palestinians Resist Forced Evacuation

HeadlineSep 26, 2025

Israel’s military has issued new evacuation orders for neighborhoods of Gaza City as Israeli ground forces pushed deeper into the Gaza Strip’s largest urban area. Israeli attacks have killed at least 29 Palestinians since dawn, 11 of them civilians seeking aid, including two children. Many Palestinians continue to resist Israel’s forced displacement, moving from one place to another within Gaza City rather than leaving entirely. This is Samia al-Samry, a Palestinian mother whose family is sheltering at a tent after an Israeli bomb flattened her home, killing her 9-year-old son.

Samia al-Samry: “My son was martyred in front of my eyes, and I could not carry him. I was worried that my children would be martyred, as well, and I was injured. My son over here was also injured. I suffered. That’s why I became worried about my children. Whenever there is a threat, I run away. I get scared, carry my children and run.”

After headlines, we will speak with Al Jazeera reporter Hani Mahmoud, who has just left Gaza City.
