Caption: Israeli strikes kill 31 in Gaza City as tanks advance and allies push for Palestinian recognition. Israeli strikes on Gaza City killed at least 31 Palestinians on Sunday, including a pregnant woman and her two children, according to local medics. Health officials said residential buildings were blown up as Israeli tanks pushed further into the city, described by Israel as Hamas’ last stronghold. One survivor said his wife, children and unborn baby were killed, while he was left critically injured and later had his leg amputated. Israel said its forces had killed “numerous militants” and found weapons, while expanding operations around Tel Al-Hawa in southeast Gaza City. The military estimates more than 450,000 residents have fled since September, though Hamas claims around 900,000 people remain. Rocket fire from Gaza triggered air raid sirens in southern Israel, though no casualties were reported after one missile was intercepted .The offensive has intensified international criticism, with some Western allies preparing to recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly this week. Families of hostages still held in Gaza rallied in Jerusalem, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of abandoning efforts to secure their release.
