Israeli bombardment kills 19 in northern Gaza

At least 19 bodies have been recovered after Israeli forces bombed a Palestinian family’s home in northern Gaza’s Jabalia al-Balad, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic.


‘No place is safe’: UNRWA shelters in Gaza overwhelmed with displaced people

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees says its shelters in Gaza are “overwhelmed with displaced people desperately seeking safety” even as “no place is safe and no area has been spared from hostilities”.

“Many families are sheltering in abandoned, unfinished, or damaged buildings,” UNRWA said, while others, “including children and pregnant women, are sleeping in the open”.

Sanitation conditions are also “dire”, UNRWA warned, with hundreds of people “having to share a single toilet”, in some cases.


Israel says over 200 attacks carried out in Gaza over 48 hours

The Israeli military says its air force has attacked more than 200 targets in the Gaza Strip in the past two days. The army claimed the targets were “terrorists, weapons depots, sniper and anti-tank positions, tunnel shafts, and other terrorist infrastructure”.

Below is verified footage of a child trying to flee the fires caused by Israeli bombs dropped on the Fahmi al-Jarjawi school in northern Gaza, which killed at least 36 Palestinians.



Witnesses described a night filled with fear, in particular in northern Gaza, where another residential house was targeted without any warning shots – at least 19 Palestinians were killed, all members of the same family.

The house was completely levelled to the ground, with multiple missiles leaving no one surviving the attack, in a sign that the momentum of the Israeli attacks is escalating chaotically here in Gaza.

Elsewhere, we have received confirmation that Israeli military tanks encroached into the residential zones in the city of Khan Younis but this was done under very intensive aerial cover from Israeli drones and fighter jets, accompanied with artillery bombardment of residential areas.

The sound of explosions continues to echo across the entire central area, leaving everybody here in a state of panic and fear.


Israel orders expanded displacement in southern Gaza

The Israeli military has issued a new order to force the displacement of people in Khan Younis, Bani Suheila, Abasan and al-Qarara in southern Gaza.

In a statement on X, spokesperson Avichay Adraee said the military had launched “an unprecedented attack” to destroy the capabilities of “terrorist” organisations and told residents to leave for the al-Mawasi area along the coast.

The so-called safe zone of al-Mawasi has repeatedly come under Israeli fire with humanitarian organisations stressing that there is nowhere safe in Gaza.


Gaza death toll rises

Israeli military attacks since the start of the war have killed at least 53,977 Palestinians and wounded 122,966 others, according to the latest update by Gaza’s Health Ministry. The Israeli army has killed 3,822 Palestinians and wounded 10,925 others since violating the ceasefire agreement on March 18.

The ministry added that 38 bodies and 169 injured arrived at Gaza hospitals in the past 24-hour reporting period.
