During a controlled visit to eastern Gaza, BBC’s Lucy Williamson reported extensive destruction, with nearly all identifiable landmarks gone. Israeli military spokesman Nadav Shoshani claimed that the destruction was not a goal, emphasizing the need to combat Hamas, which has been accused of maintaining armed resistance. The situation remains tense, with ongoing ceasefire violations, and the future of peace negotiations uncertain as the U.S. proposes an international stabilisation force for Gaza.
