Israeli Airstrikes Target Gaza City High-Rises Following Evacuation Orders
The ongoing conflict in Gaza continues to escalate, as the Israeli military has once again targeted residential high-rises in Gaza City. Despite widespread international scrutiny, the situation in the region has become increasingly dire as the Israeli forces maintain a strategy that has significant humanitarian implications for the Palestinian population.
On September 6, 2025, the Israeli military released a map identifying more high-rise towers as potential targets. Shortly after, the 15-storey Soussi Tower was bombed, situated adjacent to a building operated by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in the Tal al-Hawa neighborhood. This act follows a similar bombing of the Mushtaha Tower, leading to the destruction of crucial residential infrastructure amid a severely compromised humanitarian situation.
Reports from Gaza indicate that the military operations have led to widespread panic among civilians. Journalists covering the crisis have described evacuation notices received by residents as alarmingly short, often allowing only half an hour, which is insufficient for many families to escape the perilous conditions. The Gaza Government Media Office countered Israeli military claims, asserting that such declarations are part of a systematic misinformation campaign aimed at justifying the targeting of civilian structures and displacing families from their homes. According to their estimates, Israeli actions have resulted in the destruction of 90 percent of Gaza’s critical infrastructure.
The toll of civilian casualties continues to rise, with local health officials reporting at least 68 Palestinians killed and over 360 wounded in a single day. The casualties include many individuals seeking aid and are compounded by ongoing conditions of starvation, with the Ministry of Health confirming that the toll from starvation-related deaths has reached 382, affecting vulnerable populations, particularly children.
In a paradoxical twist, the Israeli military has designated certain areas as “humanitarian zones.” However, these zones have faced repeated bombardment, leading to skepticism among local residents who describe these environments as unsafe. Reports indicate that even locations branded as safe havens in southern Gaza have succumbed to airstrikes, complicating any efforts to provide relief and safety for displaced individuals.
As the conflict continues to unfold, individuals in Gaza City face stark choices: remain at risk in their homes or traverse hazardous routes south, often at significant personal expense. Many returning to their neighborhood of Zeitoun find their possessions entirely obliterated, underscoring the immense challenges facing the community.
The situation in Gaza illustrates not only the immediate danger faced by its residents but also the long-term implications of the conflict on infrastructure, families, and everyday life. The resilience of the Palestinian people shines through even amidst overwhelming odds, as they navigate these challenging circumstances.
