Latest on deadly Israeli attacks on Gaza

People arriving at al-Awda Hospital in northern Gaza, Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis and Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah in Gaza are reported to have critical injuries, with some taken to operating rooms and intensive care units.

Many were unable to reach a health facility and were pronounced dead. The lack of medical supplies also makes it very hard for doctors to save lives.

We have confirmation from Nasser Hospital that 19 people from the same family in Khan Younis were killed in Israeli attacks, seven more than what was previously reported.

In central Gaza, the Israeli military attacked tent sites and evacuation centres, killing 22 people. Meanwhile, in the north, Israeli forces targeted residential buildings.

No respite as Israel intensifies deadly Gaza attacks

After the Iranian retaliation, the Israeli army has been ramping up attacks on the Gaza Strip. There is a very high rate of deaths and casualties among civilians in the central, northern and central parts of the Strip.

Right now, ambulances are rushing to Bureij refugee camp in order to bring to the hospital victims after a residential house there was targeted. At least three Palestinians have been confirmed killed so far.

In the south, the city of Khan Younis has come under assault. There was a limited ground incursion that was accompanied by intense artillery shelling on residential homes. Medical sources confirmed to Al Jazeera that more than 50 Palestinians have been killed just in Khan Younis since yesterday evening.

In the central areas of Gaza, at least 25 Palestinians were killed, and in the north of the Strip, at least 30 Palestinians were confirmed killed.

A particularly bloody attack also took place at Nuseirat where a UN-run evacuation centre was targeted, with at least three confirmed killed and a number of wounded taken to hospital.

There have been attacks on evacuation centres, and even institutes that have been allocated to provide essential care for Palestinian orphans.

Overall, there’s been a very clear escalation by the Israeli military inside Gaza, which continues until now with no respite.

Palestinian killed by shrapnel of downed Iranian missile is buried: Report

A 38-year-old Palestinian from Gaza who was killed in Iran’s missile attack against Israel was buried earlier today, Reuters reports.

Sameh Khader al-Asali had been staying in a Palestinian security forces compound in the occupied West Bank when he was killed by falling missile debris during Tuesday’s attack.

Security forces personnel carried the body draped in the red, green, white and black Palestinian flag. The crowd of about 200 mourners included locals and fellow Palestinians staying in Jericho.

A large part of the rocket lay on the ground where it fell outside the compound.

About 700 workers from Gaza have been staying in Jericho, in the Jordan Valley, since the start of the Israeli war in the besieged coastal enclave almost a year ago. Israeli authorities cancelled their permits, which had allowed them to work inside Israel, after October 7, 2023, and many were arrested and taken to the occupied West Bank.
