Palestinians reported heavy airstrikes across the Gaza Strip overnight and into Thursday, with at least 54 people killed. The Israel Defense Forces issued an evacuation warning for Gaza City's eastern Shejaiya neighborhood and nearby areas ahead of a planned military offensive. The IDF has significantly stepped up its offensive, deploying another division to the southern Gaza Strip and carrying out heavy airstrikes. The military is also investigating claims that 15 medics allegedly killed by Israeli troops were buried in a mass grave. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the establishment of a new security corridor across the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas.
