A White House spokesperson declined to comment. “Women and children were forced to leave five UNRWA schools where they had been taking shelter, some men there were arrested and stripped to their underwear," Al-Bursh said. “You want to hug your kids like you usually do, or tell them stories or pat them on the head,” he said. “But you don’t want to do it because you don’t want to feel, or make them feel, that this is like a farewell hug. Al-Bursh said the signs of heavy fighting were everywhere. Human rights groups have said that Israel’s attacks on civilians amount to a war crime, as does their forcible evacuation.

Several states, among them Hungary and Austria, are among Israel’s strongest international supporters. Hamas battalions in two areas of northern Gaza are “on the verge of dismantling," according to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have also intensified its operation in the central part of the enclave.
