Israel Pounds Lebanon and Gaza Amid 'Israeli Stubbornness' Claims, as U.S. Truce Efforts Falter (Photo: Flickr user Koldo/Wikimedia Commons/CC-BY-SA 2.0 )Israeli forces pressed further into Gaza City Tuesday, with tanks and armored divisions entering new neighborhoods as explosions and heavy shelling rocked the territory's most densely populated area. Geolocated images and video verified by CNN showed tanks positioned near Beach Camp in western Gaza City and south of the Islamic University, signaling that Israeli forces have penetrated deep into the city since launching their expanded offensive Sunday. Local authorities reported at least 22 deaths across Gaza on Tuesday, including 18 in Gaza City. "Lately, every explosion has felt like an earthquake, not a metaphor, but a literal shaking of the ground beneath us," Asem Alnabih, a Gaza City spokesperson, wrote on X.
