Local sources reported this evening, Tuesday, that violent explosions shook several areas in the city of Gaza, coinciding with the start of a large-scale Israeli attack on the sector.
The sources mentioned that occupation aircraft launched a series of airstrikes targeting the west of Gaza City, and also bombarded the vicinity of the Shifa Medical Complex with several reconnaissance missiles, causing panic among residents and the injured inside the largest hospital in the sector.
The sources confirmed that an Israeli drone carried out an attack on the area surrounding the Shifa Complex, amid intensive flying of warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft over the skies of the city.
In the same context, Channel 12 reported from political sources that the occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed American officials about the details of the military response in Gaza before it began.
The American Axios website quoted Israeli officials as saying that Netanyahu is seeking to communicate with President Donald Trump to obtain a green light for an expanded military response in Gaza.
On another note, the Hebrew broadcasting authority reported that the occupation decided to expand the area it controls within the Gaza Strip, in a move it said is "punishment for Hamas."
Netanyahu informed Washington before the start of the attack in a move aimed at coordinating the position with the American administration.
