Aftermath of the Israeli attacks on Gaza shelters
At least 21 people were killed and 93 wounded when Israeli air attacks hit a mosque and a school sheltering displaced people in central Gaza
Israel’s army says it conducted ‘precise strikes on Hamas terrorists’ embedded in Ibn Rushd School and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Mosque in Deir el-Balah
Nine children among at least 17 killed in Israeli attacks on Jabalia
Gaza’s civil defence agency says Israeli air attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp in the north killed at least 17 people, including nine children.
“There are 17 martyrs, including nine children, in Israeli air raids in Jabalia,” civil defence agency spokesman Mahmoud Basal said.
Israeli forces encircled Jabalia in response to indications Hamas was rebuilding there, the army said earlier.
Residents posted about the air attacks and mourned their relatives on social media. Imad Alarabid said in a Facebook post a strike on his home in Jabalia killed a dozen family members, including his parents.
Saeed Abu Elaish, a Health Ministry medic, said he was wounded and bleeding. “Pray for us,” he wrote on Facebook.
Another Gaza journalist killed in Israeli attack
Gaza journalist Hassan Hamad has been killed in an Israeli air strike on his home in northern Jabalia, bringing the total number of media workers killed since the start of the war to 175.
Hamad worked as a freelance TV reporter and his footage had aired on Al Jazeera and other networks.
Colleagues and the government’s media office in Gaza confirmed his death, saying the journalist’s home was deliberately targeted to silence him after he received threats.
Comment from Israel’s army wasn’t immediately available.
