Two Palestinians killed in Israeli attack on tents in Gaza

The Wafa news agency reports that two Palestinians were killed and several others wounded after Israeli forces attacked tents housing displaced people in the central Nuseirat refugee camp. At least three Palestinians were killed.


Palestinian journalist and his wife killed in Israel’s attacks on Nuseirat

A journalist and his wife were killed in overnight attacks inside their tents.

They had set the tents up seeking protection from the unpredictable Israeli bombs after their home in the Nuseirat refugee camp was destroyed a few months ago. This particular area of the northern Nuseirat refugee camp is very close to the edge of the Netzarim Junction. The Israeli army has a very strong and visible presence there.

That area has been relentlessly attacked, and people there are exposed to daily terror, from the heavy machineguns, the quadcopters and the drones that are hovering at a very low level.

Just in the past few minutes, we could clearly hear heavy machineguns from the eastern part of Deir el-Balah city, Bureij refugee camp and the Maghazi refugee camp. It creates a sense of terror for everyone and prevents people even from going to check on their homes. This has been going on for a whole month now on a daily basis.

Palestinians trapped in Nuseirat appeal to ICRC for evacuation

At midnight we heard continuous loud explosions and then we noticed that Israeli tanks started to proceed to the edge of Nuseirat.

Dozens of Palestinians have been injured and many families are trapped inside the houses close to where the Israeli tanks are. They’ve been appealing for the ICRC to evacuate them from that area. Just now, shrapnel and Israeli grenades fell on al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat.

More than one million displaced Palestinians are in the central area. Those Palestinians are on the outskirts of Deir el-Balah and Nuseirat, and most of them are in the coastal part of those areas.

Thousands of Palestinians were frightened, setting up their tents in those areas when suddenly Israeli forces invaded those parts. There are injured people that were shot with Israeli live ammunition, but no one is able to reach that area because of the Israeli tanks.

There is also Israeli shelling, quadcopters hovering in the sky and hitting Palestinian civilians and homes.

Israel shells Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza

The Israeli army has fired artillery and launched quadcopter drones to target the main entrance of Kamal Adwan Hospital.

Three Palestinians have been injured, according to preliminary reports by the hospital, which is going through a crisis as casualties mount and it has few supplies or personnel to treat them.

The Israeli military is also targeting high-rise buildings overlooking the Netzarim Corridor, a 6km-long [4-mile-long] strip of land established by Israel just south of Gaza City. It stretches from the boundary with Israel to the Mediterranean Sea.

Israel has been expanding the Netzarim Corridor, which now covers 58sq km [22.4sq miles]. There is a heavy military presence, and this has raised concerns among Palestinians over a prolonged Israeli presence in Gaza.
