Israeli forces destroying all homes in northern Gaza
On the ground, Israel is scaling up its offensive in northern Gaza, where we have gathered firsthand accounts confirming that it has been mobilising its ground forces and deploying drones and fighter jets to destroy all residential homes and buildings in border towns and villages, like Beit Lahiya, Jabalia and Beit Hanoon.
This is also the case in areas that are adjacent to Gaza City.
There, they are primarily concentrated on carrying out ground operations in the vicinity of the European Hospital.
All of this is taking place in the wake of the growing humanitarian crisis and the repeated attacks on aid seekers near the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation-run aid distribution points in Rafah, which has been considered a grim milestone in this ongoing escalation that has stripped Gaza’s residents of all kinds of safety, shelter and humanitarian infrastructure.
Death toll from Israeli attacks on journalists in Gaza rises to 227
As we reported earlier, a journalist was killed in an Israeli attack on Gaza City that also killed three paramedics.
The Government Media Office in Gaza says the journalist’s name was Moamen Mohammed Abu Al-Auf. It said in a statement that Abu Al-Auf worked as a photojournalist with several media outlets.
His killing has taken the number of journalists killed since Israel launched its war on Gaza to 227, the statement added.
The office also “condemned in the strongest terms the systematic targeting, killing, and assassination of Palestinian journalists by the Israeli occupation”.
