Intense fighting inside Gaza City.

Reuters quoted information from the Israeli army saying that its soldiers had entered the center of Gaza City - the main stronghold of Hamas and the largest city in the Gaza Strip. In addition, according to Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari, Hamas has lost control in northern Gaza.

Previously, on November 8, Hamas's armed wing released a video that appeared to show intense street fighting, next to bombed buildings in Gaza City.

Israeli tanks encountered strong resistance from Hamas fighters when the group used the tunnel to launch ambushes, sources from Hamas and the Jihad militant group said.

Israel attacked Gaza in response to Hamas's cross-border raid on the south of the country on October 7, killing 1,400 people. Meanwhile, Palestinian officials said that as of November 8, 10,569 Palestinians were killed, 40% of whom were children. Israel announced that 33 of its soldiers died in battle.

As the Israel-Hamas conflict enters its second month, the United States has begun discussions with Israel and Arab leaders about the future of the Gaza Strip free from Hamas control. Although no plans have been announced, the US Secretary of State has stated the country's expectations about the Gaza Strip.

"Do not re-occupy Gaza after the conflict ends. Do not attempt to blockade or encircle Gaza. Do not shrink Gaza territory," Mr. Blinken said at a press conference on November 8 in Tokyo, Japan.

The US diplomat added that there should be some transition period when the conflict ends, but post-crisis power must include the Palestinians and Gaza needs to merge with the West Bank under the administration of the Palestinian Authority.

Earlier this week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told ABC News that Israel would be responsible for the security of the Gaza Strip for an indefinite period after the conflict ends.
