Waving white flags, Palestinians trying to flee Gaza City shelled by Israeli army
Al Jazeera has obtained exclusive video of dozens of Palestinians who attempted to flee south from Gaza City this morning and said they were attacked by the Israeli army.
The families made their way on al-Rasheed Street, a corridor the Israeli army has in the past designated for the safe travel of the displaced. They were shelled by Israeli army vehicles, which they said killed and wounded a number of them. They then fled back to Gaza City, where fighting has been raging for a number of days, particularly in the Zeitoun neighbourhood.
The families carried white flags in an attempt to prevent attack by the Israeli army.They said they decided to leave Gaza City because of the extreme lack of food and humanitarian aid. “We went out because of hunger, the price of a bag of flour is 3,000 shekels (about $825), and we don’t have money,” said one man who was part of the group. “We don’t know where to go, we are tired … Israel is targeting everyone, even the animals have not been spared. The situation is very difficult, we have no words to say. I have a son for 38 days whose fate I do not know,” said another.

Israel withdrew from Nasser Hospital but continues to besiege it: Ministry
Gaza’s Health Ministry has said Israeli troops have taken up positions around the hospital and continue to prohibit movement in and out of the facility. The Ministry of Health also said sewage water has flooded the ground floors of the hospital, and staff and patients are “without water to drink or personal hygiene, without food, without electricity, without oxygen and without medical equipment”.
Medics at the hospital have buried 13 patients who died due to lack of oxygen and electricity after the power generators stopped working, it added. According to the ministry, Israeli forces are still preventing the repair of the hospital’s generators and water tanks.
The ministry said Israeli forces have also continued to besiege and attack al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis.
WHO says 50 patients have been evacuated from besieged Nasser Hospital

Ayadil Saparbekov, WHO Health Emergencies team lead in the Palestinian territories, says that the agency has thus far helped evacuate 51 patients in three separate missions. “We still have around 140 patients remaining in the hospital but these figures unfortunately change every hour,” he said, adding that some patients died from injuries and others have tried to flee. Israel has targeted numerous medical facilities across Gaza over the course of the war.

Israel raids occupied West Bank village after checkpoint attack
Aseed Amrana, a Bethlehem-based journalist, says 15 Israeli military vehicles have stormed the village of Bayt Ta’mar near the city. Israel had accused three young men from the village of carrying out an attack against an Israeli checkpoint outside Jerusalem. Two of the suspected assailants, who were brothers, were killed in the attack. The third was severely injured.
Still, Israeli troops raided three homes in the village and ransacked them. They also detained several family members of the suspected attackers. The raid lasted for about two hours. According to Amrana, Israeli forces also stormed the village of al-Dawha near Bethlehem and raided a car rental company there.
Israel detains two children in occupied West Bank village: Local official
Bahaa Fuqaha, the deputy mayor of Sinjil near Ramallah, says the two children, age 10, have been held along with two adult relatives, and that they remain in the village amid efforts by local officials to secure their release. According to Fuqaha, the children were playing outside their house and have been accused of throwing rocks towards Israeli forces – a claim that he says is false.
Fuqaha described their detention as “barbaric”. Israel has a long history of detaining and imprisoning Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank.

Police referred to the gunmen as terrorists and residents of the Bethlehem area, but no further information was given as to who the shooters were. Security forces “neutralized” two of the shooters at the scene and another “who tried to escape,” it added.
There has been a spate of terror attacks against Israelis in the occupied West Bank in recent weeks. At least seven were killed in a shooting near a synagogue in Jerusalem in late January 2023, which police chief Yaakov Shabtai described as “one of the worst terror attacks in the past few years.”
Correction: This story has been updated to clarify the shooting near a synagogue in Jerusalem took place in January 2023.
At least CNN clarified that they had to go back to Januari for their "spate of terror" attacks
