This picture taken from a position at Israel's border with the Gaza Strip shows smoke billowing during an Israeli strike on the besieged Palestinian territory on September 17, 2025. Israel launched its ground assault on Gaza City before dawn on September 16, shortly after the US Secretary of State's visit expressing robust support for the offensive, while a United Nations probe charged Israel with committing "genocide" in the Palestinian territory and accused its Prime Minister and other top officials of incitement.
