The Palestine Red Crescent field hospital says five Palestinians were wounded in an Israeli drone strike on a displaced persons’ tent in Khan Younis.

At least 41 people have been killed across the Gaza Strip since dawn in incessant Israeli attacks.

Meanwhile, Gaza’s Health Ministry said seven people, including children, died from malnutrition-related causes over the past 24 hours, raising the toll to 420, including 145 children, since Israel’s war and starvation campaign began.

Israeli defence minister shows Burj al-Nur tower collapse

We reported earlier that the Israeli army targeted another high-rise building in Gaza City, claiming Hamas used it for attacks on soldiers. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz later posted a video purporting to show the Burj al-Nur tower crumbling to the ground.

“The terror tower Burj al-Nur has been demolished and Gaza residents are required to evacuate and head south,” Katz said. The Israeli army will continue to destroy “terror infrastructure … until the defeat of Hamas and the release of all hostages”, he added.

Another war crime posted and bragged about.

South Gaza ‘completely full’ as Israel orders northerners to flee

The Israeli military has dropped leaflets ordering residents in the western districts of war-battered Gaza City to flee for their lives as the civil defence agency reported continuous air strikes.

“The Israeli army is operating with very intense force in your area and is determined to dismantle and defeat Hamas,” the leaflets said, urging people to move south. “You have been warned.”

Dr Muhammad Abu Salmiya, head of al-Shifa Hospital, said displacement continues inside Gaza City, with residents moving from east to west, but “only a small number of people have been able to reach the south”.

“Even those who manage to flee south often find no place to stay as the al-Mawasi area is completely full and Deir el-Balah is also overcrowded,” said Abu Salmiya, adding many returned to Gaza City after failing to find shelter or basic services.
