Deadly Israeli attack hits Bureij refugee camp

Israeli forces have carried out more deadly bombardments in central Gaza, this time targeting Bureij refugee camp.

The latest attack, striking the centre of the camp, has killed at least five Palestinians, with a number of others wounded.

It follows a spate of attacks on central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah and Nuseirat, where one overnight strike killed six people, including the head of al-Awda Hospital’s nursing department, according to Wafa news agency.


‘Is there logic – an F16 warplane targeting innocent children?’

The Israeli army targeted Gaza City’s al-Farabi school and killed an entire family, our colleagues on the ground are reporting. Seven members of the al-Harazeen family, including a newborn baby, were killed in the attack.

“We were peacefully sleeping and were taken by surprise as an Israeli warplane fired a missile on the school building,” said witness Samar al-Harazeen, the brother of one of the family members. “The concrete rubbles fell on me and my children, we hardly crawled our way out,” he said.

“I came to find the missile to have landed on the classroom where my brother is taking shelter with his family. We ran to find them blown to pieces. I recovered my brother’s leg from a distance – his wife and his 17-day-old newborn daughter.”

Al-Harazeen said there were dozens of body parts strewn about. “Wherever you turn, you find body parts or organs; everywhere you turn,” he said. “What crime; what wrong did they do? We are displaced innocent civilians. We are defenceless people taking shelter in a school building. Is there logic – an F16 warplane targeting innocent children?”

Israeli army orders displacement of Palestinians in Gaza’s Jabalia area

The Israeli army has ordered the displacement of people in a part of Gaza’s Jabalia area, according to a post on X from its Arabic spokesperson Avichay Adraee.

“To the residents of the Gaza Strip in the D5 area (Jabalia village), this is a prior warning before the attack!” the post reads. “Terrorist organisations are again launching rockets from this specific area that has been warned several times in the past. For your safety, move immediately to the shelters in the centre of Gaza City,” it adds.

Israel has issued such orders throughout the war and has often bombed so-called humanitarian zones in the enclave.
