Israel ramps up attacks as families hit without warning

Since midnight, at least eight Palestinians have been killed in Rafah after a residential building was destroyed. Three others were killed in Beit Hannon, northern Gaza, where Palestinians were trapped during the expansion of the fighting to the Jabalia refugee camp.

The camp is isolated in that corner of the city without any water and food supplies. And now the people trapped there are being killed by Israeli fire.

A couple of minutes ago, three injured people, including children, arrived at Al-Aqsa Hospital, where we are right now. They were wounded after a group of Palestinians were targeted by Israeli fighter jets.

In the last 24 hours, at least 106 Palestinians have been killed.

There is a great sense and deal of sadness and frustration among Palestinian families who are being attacked without any prior warning.

Israeli attacks on northern Gaza continue

The Israeli army’s operation in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza is ongoing. Witnesses told Al Jazeera that Israeli army vehicles this morning fired at the gate of Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Separately, video footage confirmed by Al Jazeera showed gunfire from Israeli army vehicles along the road in the direction of the Jabalia refugee camp, also in Gaza’s north.

Local sources confirmed that Israeli vehicles penetrated the north of the camp and surrounded al-Awda Hospital in the Tall az-Zaatar area, about 500 metres (547 yards) away from the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
