GAZA, PALESTINE - AUGUST 30, 2025: Israeli airstrikes and heavy artillery fire continue to target Gaza City’s outer neighborhoods on Saturday, Aug. 30, as Israel intensifies its offensive to occupy the city.

According to the Israeli news outlet Walla, the army has been conducting “extensive activity” in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City since midnight.

An Anadolu correspondent reported that the Israeli army launched at dawn a series of raids and carried out demolition operations in the Zeitoun and Sheikh Radwan neighborhoods.

Fierce battles, accompanied by airstrikes and heavy artillery fire, took place in Gaza City's outer neighborhoods as Israel attempts to occupy the city, Israeli media reported late Friday.

Israel's current attacks are part of Operation Gideon 2, approved by Defense Minister Israel Katz on Aug. 21, to occupy Gaza City. The operation continues with large-scale attacks that began two weeks ago in the Zeitoun neighborhood, extending to Sabra.

Israel has declared the area a "dangerous combat zone" while intensifying bombardments since early Thursday.

Israel has killed more than 63,000 Palestinians in its ongoing genocide in Gaza since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, which is facing famine.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
