Palestinian residents reported heavy strikes Tuesday across Gaza City and Israel’s defense minister said that “Gaza is burning” as a new Israeli ground offensive targeted the city.

Airstrikes have pounded Gaza City for some time in the lead-up to the operation, knocking down towers in the city.

Israeli strikes in Gaza City overnight and into Tuesday killed at least 34 Palestinians, according to Shifa Hospital, which received the bodies.

“It was a heavy night,” said Radwan Hayder, a Gaza City resident sheltering near the hospital.
