Israeli forces killed 82 Palestinians in Gaza on Wednesday

As we have been reporting, the Palestinian Civil Defence has said the Israeli military has intensified its assault on parts of Gaza over the past day ahead of Sunday’s planned ceasefire.

Medical sources in the besieged enclave have now told Al Jazeera that at least 82 people have been killed since dawn on Wednesday as a result of Israel’s bombing across the Strip.

The north has endured especially intense bombardment over recent hours, with an attack in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood killing at least 12 people.

Death toll rises from Israel’s attack on Gaza City

We previously reported that the Israeli military had bombed a residential building in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City, killing at least 12 people. The Quds News Network and the Palestinian Information Center now report that at least 20 people have been killed in that attack.

Those same outlets report that Israeli attacks have killed more than 30 people over recent hours, mostly in Gaza City, since the announcement of the ceasefire agreement.



Two killed in Israeli attack on Khan Younis

Previously, we reported that Gaza’s civil defence said it was responding to the scene of an Israeli air attack in the Qizan Abu Rashwan area near Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

The Wafa news agency now reports that at least two people have been killed in that attack, which struck the Lahham family home, while several more people have been injured.

Israeli fighter jets bombed a house on Mashtaha Street in the Shujayea neighbourhood, east of Gaza City, killing at least one child, the Quds News Network and the Shehab news agency report. Rescue crews are currently attempting to locate survivors in the rubble.


At least 40 killed as Israel’s assault on northern Gaza intensifies

As we have been reporting, the Israeli military has carried out several deadly strikes on Gaza City, with civil defence crews saying attacks have intensified since the announcement of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

Sources in the Palestinian enclave now report that at least 40 people have been killed in those attacks over recent hours, according to the Quds News Network and the Palestinian Information Center.


Gaza’s death toll rises

Israeli attacks in Gaza over the last 24 hours have killed at least 81 people and injured 188, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. This brings the total toll of the war in Gaza to 46,788 killed and 110,453 injured, it added.


Ceasefire doesn’t mean Israel can ‘commit as many war crimes as possible’ until Sunday

Othman Moqbel, CEO of Action For Humanity, one of the leading NGOs working in Gaza, says while the ceasefire deal won’t come into effect until Sunday, “this does not give Israel a blank cheque to commit as many war crimes as possible between now and then”.

“The world must pressure Israel to halt their aggression immediately. This ceasefire deal was called 466 days too late, 46,000 people have been murdered by this senseless war,” he said in a statement.

“That’s almost 100 a day, on average. Four more days of Israel continuing like this, could kill at least another 400 people, if not more. The time to stop the killing of Palestinians is not Sunday. It is now.”

Earlier, Gaza’s Civil Defence reported that at least 73 Palestinians, including 20 children and 25 women, have been killed and more than 230 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza since the announcement of the latest ceasefire agreement.
