33 Palestinians killed in north Gaza since dawn: Medical sources

Medical sources have told Al Jazeera that at least 33 Palestinians have been killed in separate Israeli attacks on northern Gaza since dawn today. The area has been under a devastating Israeli siege for more than 100 days, with estimates of at least 5,000 Palestinians killed or missing in that period.

Reports of Israeli naval ships firing at Gaza’s beachline tents

To understand the scale of the crisis in northern Gaza, we need to look at the level of destruction being left behind by the current military operation that has no end in sight. We can see mountains of debris stretched endlessly, a very grim testament to the relentless destruction that has turned these vibrant communities and border towns and villages into a lifeless wasteland.

We have been told by medical teams and Gaza’s Health Ministry that more than 5,000 Palestinians have been killed during this military operation, while more than 10,000 others were wounded. Israel has justified these actions as a military operation to dismantle Palestinian armed groups, but it has led to the displacement of more than 400,000 Palestinians who are now trapped in Gaza City, and such sorts of attacks have laid bare the vulnerability of families who have been caught on the front lines.

Elsewhere, we have reports that five civilians were killed in two separate air raids on residential buildings in the Shujayea neighbourhood, which has been described by the Israeli military as a stronghold for the Hamas movement.

This morning, we have also been hearing huge explosions from the eastern area of Deir el-Balah.

Displaced families who are living on the coastal line of Deir el-Balah say that Israeli naval ships have approached the beaches of Gaza, opening fire at makeshift tents, but so far no casualties have been reported.

We also have initial reports confirming that a civilian’s car has been struck in Rafah city, but we are still monitoring the death toll resulting from the attack.
