At least 4 Palestinians killed by Israeli shelling in northern Gaza
At least four Palestinians have been killed and many wounded after the Israeli military shelled and opened fired on people on Banat Street in Beit Hanoon city, northern Gaza, according to the Quds News Network and the Palestinian Information Center.
A systematic destruction of residential areas in Gaza
The security situation in Gaza is incredibly unstable because the Israeli military is targeting neighbourhoods and densely populated residential areas in multiple parts of the enclave.
There has been a systematic destruction of these areas. We’re talking about buildings and refugee camps being targeted.
In the north of Gaza, there has been an expansion of military operations with the infiltration of residential homes that are near the Netzarim Corridor.
In Rafah, the situation is getting much more critical where a ground invasion has been ongoing for four months. The death toll among Palestinian civilians is increasing daily.
The vast majority of those killed were innocent civilians, and people have been saying they did not receive any sort of warning, which is a reflection on how the Israeli military is killing families and wiping them off the civil registry.

- In Nuseirat, there are also helicopter air strikes as well as armoured vehicles firing at civilian positions.
Israeli military issues new evacuation orders for central Gaza
The Israeli military has issued a new evacuation order for large areas in central Gaza.
A new map was released that designates 11 “blocks” in areas of Nuseirat and Bureij in the besieged enclave that should be immediately evacuated. Civilians were told to go to a so-called “humanitarian zone” designated by the army.
Avichay Adraee, the Arabic-language spokesman for the Israeli military, said Hamas and other groups “continue their terror activities” in the designated areas and Israel’s military “will act with great force against these elements”.
