Hamas fighters destroy Israeli tank in northern Gaza, attack soldiers

The armed wing of Hamas has released a video showing an Israeli Merkava tank being destroyed after running over a planted explosive device in the Tall az-Zaatar neighbourhood east of Jabalia in northern Gaza.

The Qassam Brigades also announced its fighters used 114mm “Rajum” rockets to hit an Israeli command-and-control site along the Netzarim Corridor, the Israeli-established and -controlled strip of land that splits northern and southern Gaza.

Palestinians in northern Gaza chased by Israeli quadcopters

We spent the whole day listening to people who made their way out of the northern cities of the Gaza Strip at gunpoint.

It’s been 19 days of ongoing bombardment, with the Israeli military having destroyed all means of life, including water tanks on rooftops and solar panels, in order to force people out of their homes. As soon as people came out, they were chased by the quadcopters into narrow areas where the Israeli military set up checkpoints.

We have seen images of Palestinians, in particular men, being lined up by the Israeli military, blindfolded and handcuffed, made to wear white coats, and then led into unknown areas for interrogation outside the Gaza Strip.

We have seen other footage of women and children being led into big holes in the ground where Israeli soldiers kept them before forcing them out and instructing them to take only one road into western Gaza City.

Rescuers halt operations in north Gaza during Israeli attacks

The Gaza civil defence agency says three of its rescuers were wounded in northern Gaza in what it called a “targeted strike” that aimed to force them out of the besieged Jabalia refugee camp.

Later, it said all its operations in northern Gaza were suspended after Israeli forces detained five staff members and bombed the only fire truck.

“Our work has completely stopped in the north Gaza governorate, and the situation has become catastrophic there, and the citizens there are now without any kind of humanitarian services,” the agency said in a statement.

The municipality of Gaza City said two city workers were killed and three others wounded in an Israeli strike.

Health and civil emergency officials said dozens of bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli fire in and around Jabalia are scattered on roadsides and under the rubble where medical teams could not reach them.
