Gaza genocide reaches 700th day as Israel steps up carpet bombing, forced displacement
Israel has killed over 1,000 Palestinians in the last
three weeks as it prepares for its massive assault to occupy Gaza City
SEP 5, 2025
Israel’s genocidal war against Palestinians entered
its 700th day on 5 September, as Tel Aviv continued
preparations for a massive assault to occupy Gaza City.
At least 44 people have been killed by Israeli attacks
across Gaza since dawn on Friday.
According to Al-Jazeera’s correspondent, Israeli troops have reached the
heart of Gaza City. Several people were killed in different areas of the city,
including children, as Israeli warplanes struck residential buildings and
apartment blocks.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued to operate on the
ground, with tanks and troops advancing further into Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood on
Friday as part of an effort to destroy infrastructure ahead of the major
assault.
Palestinians marked the 700th day of
genocide by fleeing westward after receiving displacement orders from the
Israeli army.
Thousands have been forced to flee in recent days,
while thousands of others have decided to stay despite the risk of death.
Gaza’s Government Media Office said on Friday that in
the last three weeks, Israeli forces have killed 1,100 people and have
detonated more than 100 explosive-laden robotic vehicles in civilian homes in
Gaza City.
“We strongly condemn these crimes and hold the Israeli
occupation, the US administration, and the states involved in the genocide
fully responsible,” it added.
The Israeli army says it currently controls 40 percent
of Gaza City, and will expand strikes and ground operations in the coming days
ahead of the full assault.
The military claims that Hamas snipers and anti-tank
units are posted inside multistory buildings in Gaza City, and added that it will
target these buildings in the coming days.
“The bolt is now being removed from the gates of Hell
in Gaza. Once the door is opened, it will not be closed, and IDF operations
will intensify – until Hamas’s murderers and rapists accept Israel’s conditions
for ending the war, first and foremost the release of all hostages and
disarmament – or be destroyed,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said
earlier on Friday.
Israel’s five conditions for ending the war are the
release of all captives in one go, the disarmament of Hamas, the demilitarization of Gaza, Israeli security
control in Gaza, and “the establishment of an alternative civilian
administration that does not indoctrinate for terror, does not dispatch terror,
and does not threaten Israel,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
office said this week.
