STORYLINE:
Huge dark clouds of smoke were seen billowing over Gaza’s skyline from southern Israel on Wednesday, as the Israeli military continued its offensive in the coastal territory.
Israel has been pressing its military operations in Rafah, a city along Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, and in northern Gaza, where Hamas has regrouped.
In northern Gaza, Israeli evacuation orders have displaced at least 100,000 people so far.
Around 600,000 Palestinians have been driven out of Rafah since the beginning of last week, a U.N. spokesperson said on Wednesday.
Some 80% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million Palestinians have fled their homes since the start of the war, with many relocating multiple times.
Seven months of the war have killed more than 35,000 people in Gaza, most of them women and children, according to local health officials.
The war began Oct. 7 when Hamas attacked southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people there, mostly civilians, and taking about 250 hostages.
