News - Middle East: Israeli forces have left a trail of death and destruction after they once again pushed deeper into the ruins of various parts of the Gaza Strip and continued to pound the blockaded territory with air and artillery strikes.

Residents and witnesses said Israeli forces advanced further on Sunday into the Shujayea neighborhood of northern Gaza City and also pushed deeper into several districts in the east, west and center of the Rafah city.

Israeli tanks, which moved back into Shujayea four days ago, fired shells toward several houses and civilian infrastructure. 

Many families are still trapped in Shujayea as Israel’s military keeps hammering the area with air strikes and artillery attacks.

A series of videos circulating on social media show widespread destruction in the Shujayea neighborhood. The videos, shared by residents show a street lined with bombed-out buildings and rubble, extending into a haze of smoke.

The massive destruction comes as Israel continues its intense attacks on the area for a fourth day using air and artillery strikes along with ground forces.
