Two rescuers wounded as Israeli forces bomb Gaza home for a second time

The Palestinian Civil Defence in Gaza says two of its rescuers have been wounded in Jabalia as they were trying to evacuate the dead and wounded at the site of a previous Israeli attack.

Our colleagues on the ground are reporting that the rescuers were wounded when Israeli forces attacked the site for a second time.

A spokesperson for the civil defence told Al Jazeera Arabic that the scale of the ongoing Israeli attacks far exceeds their ability to respond to distress calls. The spokesperson also confirmed that their crews are extinguishing a fire at the Jaffa School in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.

The statement comes amid reports of continuous and heavy Israeli attacks across the Strip.

The deadly Israeli strike hit residential buildings along al-Nakheel Street in the Tuffah neighbourhood east of Gaza City, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report, quoting Gaza’s civil defence.

Several people also remain missing following the strike.
