Israel says ‘tactical pause’ no longer applied to Gaza City

The Israeli military said that its daily “tactical pause” in Gaza - announced last month - will no longer apply to Gaza City starting on Friday morning.

“In accordance with the assessment of the situation and the instructions of the political echelon, starting today at 10:00 am (07:00 GMT), the tactical-local ceasefire of military activity will not apply to the Gaza City area, which constitutes a dangerous combat zone,” the military said in a statement on X.

The Israeli army said it “will continue to support humanitarian efforts alongside ongoing manoeuvring and offensive operations”.
