In a significant escalation in Gaza, the Israeli military has ordered another massive evacuation in areas around Khan Yunis, South Gaza, in anticipation of imminent operations.
This move follows a Palestinian rocket attack, prompting a heightened response from Israeli forces.
Simultaneously, Palestinian medics report a surge in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza, which yesterday resulted in at least 40 fatalities.
“We don’t know where we’re going, and we have sick and disabled people with us. Where can we go?” Abu Hayya asked AFP as she stood on the street in front of a building reduced to a pile of rebar and broken concrete.
AFP journalists saw one young man carrying planks of wood loosely tied in bundles, to be used as shelter structure or fuel in the near future.
Specific airstrikes targeted residential areas in the Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, killing at least 15 people, and another airstrike near the Al-Nuseirat camp resulted in four additional deaths.
In northern Gaza, an Israeli fighter jet bombed a home in the heart of Gaza City, claiming five Palestinian lives.
Meanwhile, an aerial assault in Khan Yunis led to one death and several injuries, according to local medics.
The Palestinian Civil Defense later reported that Israeli strikes on two schools in eastern Gaza City resulted in 15 deaths and 30 injuries.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced yesterday that the toll from Israeli bombings had risen to 39,699 dead and 91,722 injured since the conflict escalated on October 7th.
The ministry stated that Israel had committed four massacres against families in Gaza within the last 24 hours alone, with 22 people killed and 77 injured reaching hospitals.
On the 307th day of the ongoing war in Gaza, many victims remain under rubble or on the streets, unreachable by emergency and civil defense teams.
