Israeli military ramps up attacks across Gaza
The Israeli military is ramping up its military attacks throughout Gaza. Its fighter jets and artillery shelling have targeted the north with evacuation centres and homes under attack.
In central Gaza, families have been targeted, especially in the Nuseirat refugee camp, while Israeli military operations are still ongoing in Rafah in southern Gaza.
We have observed the Israeli army still has a military presence in the Netzarim and Philadelphi Corridors near the border with Egypt.
Israeli attacks continue in northern Gaza
The spokesperson of the Civil Defence in Gaza says Israeli forces have hit al-Tabbaa Tower near as-Saraya with artillery shelling in the centre of Gaza City.
Before the war began, Gaza City was the largest and most populous city within the Gaza Strip with more than 750,000 residents.

Officials are saying that the bodies of four people who were killed in the attack on the Qarout family home have been recovered.
Israel launches ‘bloody attack’ on Khan Younis
It was a very bloody attack carried out by Israeli fighter jets, that had launched a strike using three missiles that completely destroyed a number of residences, including houses and a tower, in the southern part of the Gaza city of Khan Younis.
At least two Palestinians have been confirmed killed, including a woman and her daughter. The attack also left a great deal of destruction. Rubble is scattered around the site of the strike, where families around the neighbouring area are going through shock and fear due to the strike.
Khan Younis has been a focus of Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours. Witnesses have confirmed that Israeli quadcopters were used extensively to attack al-Mawasi. Families there have been trapped in a tiny patch of land after the Israeli military incursion of Rafah district.
Internet services interrupted in central, south Gaza
Palestinian telecommunications company Paltel says in a statement on social media that home internet services have been disrupted in the central and southern Gaza Strip “due to the ongoing aggression” of the Israeli army.
“Our crews are working hard to restore services as quickly as possible”, the statement reads. Internet and phone service interruptions have been a constant feature of Israel’s war on Gaza, though their frequency was much higher in its early months.
In January, digital civil rights group Access Now accused Israel of using communications blackouts as a weapon of war.
“It is unconscionable to toy with connectivity amidst unprecedented violence and unfathomable human suffering,” Marwa Fatafta, the group’s policy and advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement at the time.
