STORYLINE:
Flares drifted over the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday and plumes of smoke rose into the sky, a month after the Israel-Hamas war started.
Israel's military said it was fighting in the ‘depths’ of Gaza City after encircling the northern part of the besieged Palestinian enclave.
The conflict started after Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip blew through Israel's highly fortified separation wall on October 7, and attacked an open-air music festival and Israeli border communities.
They killed scores of people and abducted men, women, and children - including elderly and disabled.
Israel launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip and sealed it off from food, fuel and other supplies in retaliation for a bloody incursion, vowing to destroy the militant group.
The number of Palestinians killed in the war passed 10,300, including more than 4,200 children, the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza said.
More than 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, most of them in the Hamas attack that started the fighting, and 242 hostages were taken from Israel into Gaza by the militant group.
The war is the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides.
