Israel is not ‘letting up’ on Gaza
We haven’t seen any significant change in how this war is being conducted. From the very beginning, it has been largely one-sided, dominated by the Israeli military.
Every once in a while, we hear about the Israeli military slowing down in one area or others, but what we’re seeing on the ground here is completely the opposite: a surge in the attacks.
Despite the distraction created by the ongoing narrative that [Israeli forces] are busy on the northern front, particularly in Lebanon, they are still bombing across the Gaza Strip.
Unfortunately, the attacks – on the Nuseirat refugee camp, on the Bureij refugee camp, and on Khan Younis – have already killed 33 people.
And just within the past half an hour, we have received a confirmation from the hospital where the majority of casualties from an attack on residential homes in a camp arrived. It has risen to 11 people, and that includes the four children who were transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital.
Any narrative about letting up the attacks or slowing the intensity of the attacks is not real.
What we’re seeing on the ground is more concentrated attacks on residential homes, and particularly we look at families.
Four Palestinians killed in Israeli attack on Gaza City
Among those killed in the attack on a residential home are two children, Gaza’s civil defence spokesperson, Mahmoud Basal, said. He added the attack in the al-Tawam area, northwest of Gaza City, targeted a home that belonged to the Ahmed family.

The Palestinian Civil Defence has said four people’s bodies were recovered from a residential building that was destroyed in an Israeli air raid west of Gaza City. According to the Civil Defence’s spokesperson Mahmoud Basal, nine people remain missing under the rubble.
Bassal also said another two people were killed in an Israeli air raid on Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip.
Fourteen Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on central Gaza Strip
Eleven people have been killed in an Israeli air raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Civil Defence has said. Its spokesman Mahmoud Bassal also said that three others were killed in Israeli shelling of an area west of the refugee camp.
Five Palestinians killed in Israeli air raid on Rafah
The Palestinian Civil Defence has said that a family of five was killed in an Israeli air raid on Rafah. Civil Defence Spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said that a woman and her four children were killed when Israeli forces struck a house in al-Nasr area, northeast Rafah City.
At least 37 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip today.
