Israel says attacks on Gaza’s eastern Deir el-Balah continue
The Israeli military says its operations are continuing in eastern Deir el-Balah and eastern Bureij after Saturday’s operation to rescue four captives in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
In a situational update on Telegram, the army said fighter jets were “striking numerous terror targets in the area, as well as armed terrorists who posed a threat” to Israeli troops.
In the southern Rafah area, troops from the 162nd Division are continuing “intelligence-based, targeted operations” and locating “tunnel shafts” and weapons. In central Gaza, troops continue “dismantling terror infrastructure and eliminating terrorists”.
The army added that “numerous mortar shells” were launched at troops in the area of the Islamic University in southern Gaza City, but no injuries were reported, and the launcher was dismantled.
Gaza’s death toll surpasses 37,000
Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed 283 people and injured 814 in the past 24 hours alone, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The vast majority of those casualties – 274 killed and 698 injured – were caused by Israel’s operation in Nuseirat, the ministry said. Israeli forces claimed to have freed four captives during the operation.
The latest casualties bring Gaza’s total death toll since October 7 to 37,084 killed and 84,494 injured, according to the ministry.
