Israeli military operations in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 25 Palestinians seeking aid, according to health officials and witnesses. These casualties occurred amid preparations for an upcoming Israeli offensive targeting Gaza City. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will permit Palestinians to leave the area during the planned military campaign, describing this as a form of "voluntary migration." In the broader context of the conflict, reports indicate that Israeli strikes killed 123 Palestinians in Gaza over the course of a single day as part of efforts to seize control of the densely populated city. The planned takeover of Gaza City has attracted international criticism, with residents expressing concern over the escalating violence and humanitarian impact.
