# The Israeli military says it is opening a temporary new route to allow people to flee Gaza City, as it pressed a major ground assault aimed at crushing Hamas. The army unleashed a massive bombardment of Gaza City before dawn on Tuesday and pushed its troops deeper into the Gaza Strip’s largest urban hub. It came as a United Nations probe accused Israel of committing “genocide” in the Palestinian territory, saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials had incited the crime.
