Israeli forces continue bombardment across Gaza

The security and humanitarian conditions are getting worse, … including the aerial and land bombardment of the already battered refugee camps, which the Israeli military has warned as being active warzones.

The Israeli army is now operating in another part of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, where they earlier hit different residential homes, wiping out entire families. We continue to hear explosions in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, especially in Khan Younis.

The Israeli army is not only continuing its attacks in the south but also the central part, where more than 700,000 Palestinians are seeking refuge.

According to the PRCS, the bodies of those killed and injured were transported to the al-Ahli Arab Hospital nearby.

More than 50 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since yesterday.


Dozens killed in Gaza

Israeli raids across the coastal enclave have killed at least 40 people, medical sources told Al Jazeera.

“Forty martyrs arrived at hospitals as a result of the continued Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip since Wednesday morning, 30 of whom arrived at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis,” the sources said.

Meanwhile, our reporters on the ground say an Israeli air raid has hit a residential tower in Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis.

As we reported earlier, an Israeli attack has targeted Hamad City in southern Gaza. Video footage shared online, and verified by Al Jazeera, show Israeli aircraft carrying out raids inside Hamad City, northwest of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.

Footage showed the sounds of successive explosions in the area and smoke rising from the vicinity of the city’s residential towers. Israeli forces intensified their shelling of several targets, including the homes of citizens in Khan Younis, causing dozens of deaths and injuries.


It's tragic this even needs a declaration, and even more tragic more states don't endorse it. Most tragic the UNSC won't enforce it.

Norway urges states to endorse declaration on student, school protection in war

At a UN Security Council discussion yesterday, Norway noted that in 2021, the council unanimously adopted Resolution 2601, which condemned attacks and threats of attack against schools, educational facilities and civilians connected with schools.

“The Safe School Declaration is endorsed by 120 states,” Norway said, urging all states to endorse it.

The declaration is an intergovernmental political commitment that allows states to support protecting students, teachers, schools, and universities from attack during times of armed conflict.
