Air strikes on north and central Gaza as Israeli tanks push into Rafah in south
As well as the attack on a family home in Khan Younis that we reported earlier had killed three people, including two children, deaths and injuries have been reported following an Israeli air attack on the Shatat family’s home in the Sheikh Radwan area of northern Gaza.
The Wafa news agency also reported an attack on a civilian home north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza and that several people were injured in an attack on a house in the Sabra neighbourhood of Gaza City.
In southern Rafah, Israeli tanks are now stationed in the centre of the city’s Yibna and Shaboura refugee camps. Local sources report that Israeli aircraft are bombing while armoured vehicles are attacking homes in the centre and west of the city with heavy machine guns, according to Wafa.
