Israeli attacks target homes, evacuation shelters, civilian vehicle in Gaza

It’s not only the northern part of the Strip that endured the ongoing attacks but here, in the central area, an attack in Deir el-Balah city on a residential home, leaving many in critical condition and they were transferred to Al-Aqsa Hospital.

One person, an adult, was reported killed in the attack by a drone missile that was fired at a group of people in the southern part of Deir el-Balah city.

Within a span of three hours, the Israeli military targeted two evacuation centres and one residential building in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City, killing at least 15 people in the evacuation centres and residential buildings nearby.

Also a car was struck, leaving many people in very critical condition, who were transferred to al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.

In the same neighbourhood, Tuffah, at night time, the Israeli military targeted more of the residential buildings as well as the neighbouring district. That’s Daraj neighbourhood, where more residential buildings have been targeted.

Israeli quadcopters shoot at civilians in northern Gaza

It has been relatively calm here in the central areas during the past hour. But the escalation continues to take place in the north of the Gaza Strip.

We got reports coming from the town of Jabalia al-Balad confirming that Israeli quadcopter drones have been shooting civilians there.

Earlier, we saw different videos emerging from the Israeli side showing how those quadcopter drones are equipped with grenades and even explosives that could be dropped on the rooftops of buildings, which can, in turn cause significant destruction in a residential building.

Earlier today, the Israeli military levelled to the ground residential buildings in the Sabra neighbourhood, killing at least four civilians.

Military operations are also still ongoing in the north, in particular in the town of Beit Lahiya with military confrontations there and in Jabalia between Palestinian groups and Israeli forces continuing to escalate.
