In the Middle East, a significant development is unfolding in Gaza City. According to reports, over the past two days, the Israeli army has ordered the destruction of more than 50 high-rise buildings. The Israeli government claims these buildings were being used by Hamas terrorists for military purposes, such as intelligence gathering and preparation of attacks. Prime Minister Netanyahu has warned residents of Gaza City to evacuate, and an "intensive operation" is expected to take place.

Meanwhile, in Europe, there are signs of escalating tensions with Russia. The cities of Berlin and Paris have proposed new sanctions against Russia, and the European Union is planning new penalties due to Russia's ongoing military aggression against Ukraine. However, it is unclear what prompted these proposed sanctions, or if they will have any significant impact on Russia's economy. It is also uncertain if these proposed sanctions will be approved by other countries.

Gaza City's infrastructure includes over 50 high-rises, and it is uncertain when, or if, these buildings will be targeted. Israel's government has ordered its military to take control of Gaza City, but the details of this operation have not been specified. It is hoped that all parties involved will work towards a peaceful resolution, minimising harm to civilians and infrastructure.

As the situation continues to evolve, we will keep you updated with the latest developments. Stay tuned for more news on this unfolding story.
