The head of Israel's military says the IDF is fighting "strongly and thoroughly" in south Gaza.

The BBC has also verified pictures on social media which shows an Israeli tank operating near the city.

The head of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later told troops the IDF was also fighting “strongly and thoroughly” in south Gaza.

Lt General Herzi Halevi was speaking to reservists from the Gaza division about military objectives and the IDF’s killing of Hamas commanders.

He told the soldiers: “We fought strongly and thoroughly in the northern Gaza Strip, and we are also doing it now in the southern Gaza Strip”.

Since a week-long ceasefire ended on Friday, Israel has resumed a large-scale bombing campaign on Gaza, which residents of Khan Younis have described as the heaviest wave of attacks so far.

    South Gaza? That would be where they told everyone to flee to, right? Because I’m pretty sure it is.

    An adviser to Israel’s prime minister said Israel is making “maximum effort” to avoid killing civilians.

    I don’t think those words mean what they think it means…

      “Maximum effort” = “Maximize the effort to not kill civilians when you cluster bomb that refugee camp.”

      Maybe their spectrum doesn’t start with 0, so the minimum civilian killed is always something between 2 and 200.

    If the USA really has the best interests of Israel at heart it will stop enabling this.
