Israeli attacks kill dozens ahead of planned offensive

Israeli forces have pounded the suburbs of Gaza City from the air and ground, destroying homes and driving more families out of the area as prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet prepares to discuss a plan to seize the city.

Local health authorities said Israeli gunfire and strikes killed at least 30 people yesterday, including 13 who tried to get food from near an aid site in the central Gaza Strip, and at least two in a house in Gaza City. Dozens have been killed seeking aid in recent months.

The Israeli military spokesperson's office said it was reviewing the reports.

Gaza health authorities also said at least 15 people, including five children, were killed in an attack on a residential building in the heart of Gaza City on Saturday.
