Israel's relentless bombardment of Gaza persists despite truce talks

Israeli military officials have stated that their bombardment of Gaza may intensify in the final hours before a four-day cease-fire begins, as reports suggest that Hamas morale has plummeted and many terrorists have retreated south. The IDF continues to gain ground and eliminate senior officials, while heavy fighting persists in northern sections of Gaza. Stray dogs have reportedly been feeding on dead bodies in the streets, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation. Israel has released evidence of Hamas using the al-Shifa Hospital as a command and control center, and the hospital has evacuated its patients and staff ahead of the cease-fire.
