Payam Javan: Israeli forces are advancing towards Gaza City, facing strong resistance from Hamas terrorists using guerrilla-style tactics, including mortars and hit-and-run attacks from tunnels.

The Palestinian death toll rises as the conflict intensifies. Israel aims to annihilate the terrorist group but encounters challenges in the urban environment.

The military strategy focuses on the northern Gaza Strip, and the situation remains tense with ongoing bombings and heavy resistance.

The latest conflict started when Hamas gunmen breached the border on Oct. 7, resulting in a significant number of casualties, including civilians and hostages. The Gaza health authorities report at least 8,796 deaths, including 3,648 children, amid the ongoing violence.
