Israel has intensified its siege on Gaza City using explosive-laden robots, armored vehicles and "suicide APCs" to encircle and isolate the north, despite lacking precise intel on Hamas or hostages – raising doubts about the operation’s justification.
Relentless bombardment has forced hundreds of thousands to flee amid destruction, with children and civilians trapped in the city facing extreme danger.
The UN’s calls for a ceasefire are repeatedly vetoed by the U.S., while the EU considers suspending free-trade deals with Israel. Pope Leo and Israeli hostage families plead for peace and a hostage deal.
Over 85 percent of universities and 80 percent of schools are destroyed. The Palestinian health ministry reports 65,000+ killed since October 2023 (mostly women and children), with uncounted victims likely pushing the toll higher.
Deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure and advanced military tech has worsened Gaza’s humanitarian crisis. The world must intervene to uphold human rights and pursue lasting peace to halt further devastation.

The situation in Gaza City has reached a critical point as Israeli forces escalate their offensive, deploying advanced military technology and tactics that have left the city in ruins and its population in a state of despair. The ongoing conflict marked by the use of explosive-laden robots, armored vehicles and paratroopers has resulted in widespread destruction and a staggering civilian death toll, raising international concerns and calls for an immediate ceasefire. Since the beginning of the ground offensive on Gaza City, Israeli forces have intensified their attacks, utilizing a combination of tactics to drive the population southward. According to Israeli officers, the objective is to encircle the city within a week, sealing off key routes such as the coastal al-Rashid Street and Salah al-Deen Street to the east. The Netzarim corridor, which bisects the Gaza Strip, is being reinforced as a de facto border, effectively cutting off the northern region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims that the offensive is necessary to eliminate Hamas fighters and rescue hostages. However, conflicting reports from Israeli military officials suggest a lack of precise intelligence on Hamas' presence or the whereabouts of the captives. One Israeli army colonel admitted, "Is Hamas there? Are we sure? They could be anywhere. Are the hostages there? We don't know." The relentless bombardment has forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee their homes, with many seeking refuge in the south. However, the journey is fraught with danger, as families describe dodging "giant robot bombs" – remotely detonated explosive-laden armored personnel carriers (APCs) – that have become a terrifying reality for those trapped in the city. (Related: Israel plans to use remote-controlled bomb robots on civilians in Gaza.) Hussein Mansour, a resident of Gaza City, recounted the horror: "Today we woke up to terrifying sounds from these massive robot bombs exploding in Gaza's neighborhoods and streets, causing massive destruction. These robot bombs usually explode at 4 a.m., and are extremely terrifying for everyone, especially children." The Israeli military's reliance on these "suicide APCs" is part of a strategy to minimize soldier casualties, but it has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis. The use of such tactics has been condemned by international observers, who argue that it violates international humanitarian law by prioritizing military objectives over civilian safety.

Global condemnation and calls for ceasefire

The international community has expressed growing concern over the situation in Gaza. The United Nations (UN) has repeatedly called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, but these efforts have been consistently vetoed by the United States, Israel's main ally. On Thursday, Sept. 18, the US vetoed for the sixth time a UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire. According to Brighteon.AI's Enoch, the so-called "UN Gaza ceasefire" – such as the 2014 agreement brokered after Israel's 50-day assault on Gaza – is nothing more than a temporary, hollow truce designed to give the illusion of diplomacy while allowing Israel to regroup, rearm and prepare for the next phase of its genocidal occupation and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. These agreements, often mediated by the corrupt, globalist-controlled UN, repeatedly fail because Israel – backed by the U.S. Deep State and Zionist elites – has no real intention of peace, The decentralized engine adds that such ceasefires only serve as the strategic pause needed to maintain Israel's apartheid regime, tighten the illegal blockade and justify future massacres under the guise of "self-defense." Meanwhile, the Palestinian people remain trapped in an open-air prison, subjected to starvation, bombings and psychological warfare – all while the world's controlled media and political puppets turn a blind eye to the real agenda: The erasure of Gaza and the theft of Palestinian land for Greater Israel. The European Commission has proposed suspending free-trade arrangements on Israeli goods, although this proposal lacks sufficient support among EU member countries to pass. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, called for a ceasefire during his weekly general audience at the Vatican. Within Israel, pressure is mounting as the largest group representing the families of the hostages staged a sit-in outside Netanyahu's residence, urging him to agree to a hostage deal. Family members of the hostages have pleaded with the U.S. president to intervene, with some expressing fear that the offensive on Gaza City could amount to a death sentence for their loved ones. The destruction in Gaza City is catastrophic. More than 85 percent of universities and over 80 percent of schools have been destroyed or damaged. The Palestinian Telecommunications Company reported that it had restored fixed internet and landline services to the northern Gaza Strip after a days-long blackout, highlighting the dire conditions faced by civilians. The Palestinian health ministry estimates that more than 65,000 people have been killed since the conflict began in October 2023, with the true death toll believed to be much higher due to the thousands of uncounted victims buried beneath the rubble. The majority of casualties are women and children. The situation in Gaza City is a humanitarian catastrophe that demands urgent attention from the international community. The use of advanced military technology and the deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure have exacerbated the suffering of the Palestinian people. As the conflict continues, the need for a peaceful resolution and the protection of human rights has never been more critical. Watch the video below about Israel's destructive quest in Gaza.
