Intense Israeli strikes continue on third day of Ramadan
On the third day of Ramadan, people across Gaza have woken up to more intense artillery shelling and overnight raids, including in the central part of the Strip. Homes were targeted and multiple casualties have been reported. The number has not been confirmed yet, as there are still many people under the rubble.
Dozens killed, wounded in overnight attacks on Gaza
The Wafa news agency is reporting dozens of casualties after Israeli forces launched attacks across the Gaza Strip. In central Deir el-Balah, the death toll from an attack on Tuesday evening went up to 10, while in Gaza City, two people were killed and four children wounded in an attack in the Daraj neighbourhood.
Wafa said a “number of people were martyred” in the bombing of a house on Salah al-Din Street, while a third assault on a house on al-Sahaba Street left many wounded and missing.
The agency said there were attacks on southern Khan Younis, too.
