Today’s death toll in Gaza rises
Sources at hospitals in the Strip say that at least 60 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the early hours of this morning.
In today’s most horrific attack, at least 20 people were killed, including nine children, when Israel bombed a residential block in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighbourhood.

‘All I could see was shooting and killing and relocation’
The Times has published an article which includes excerpts from interviews with Israeli reservists who have refused to serve in Gaza.
Captain Ron Feiner said he has refused to serve because he was “appalled by the never-ending war in Gaza, the neglect of the hostages and the relentless death of innocents”.
Yuval Ben Ari, a social worker in Haifa, had been enthusiastic about serving after the war, but after being sent to Rafah at the end of 2024, he told the Times he was “completely shocked”.
“Everything was completely destroyed. This was a school, that was a university … Yet after a while, it becomes your normal,” he is quoted as saying.
“All I could see was shooting and killing and relocation, so 2 million people are now in less than 20 percent of Gaza and constantly being moved from place to place. The Israeli army doesn’t look at them as humans any more, just waiting for them to die,” he told The Times.
