The Wafa news agency is reporting that the death toll from Israeli attacks on the Shati refugee camp and the Tuffah neighbourhood in northern Gaza City has risen from 42 to 43.

The agency cited health sources. It said dozens of people were also wounded. The increased toll came as Israeli attacks on Gaza City overnight killed five more Palestinians.

Attacks in Gaza City, Nuseirat kill 10: Report

Things are moving quickly here in the Gaza Strip. Israeli fighter jets have targeted a place very close to the gates of UNRWA’s main headquarters in Gaza City. Earlier in the war, the Israeli military stormed these headquarters, even setting the building on fire.

After Israeli forces withdrew, the building was turned into an aid warehouse, where families used to wait for long hours in order to get parcels of food. Today it has been targeted again. Casualties are still being reported. We are working on verifying more information about this.

In other parts of the territory, more attacks have been carried out by the Israeli army. At least eight Palestinians have been killed in Gaza City’s Sabra neighbourhood after a residential building was completely destroyed.

As we reported, an Israeli strike has hit the vicinity of the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City. The attack has killed four Palestinians, report our colleagues on the ground. It comes after a series of strikes throughout the city, including on the Shati and Tufah camps, killed dozens yesterday.

According to the Wafa news agency, Israeli shelling struck the building’s eastern gate, located in the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood.

Five people have been confirmed killed in the attack, with some individuals dismembered, Wafa said. Seven others, including women and children, are injured and have been rushed to al-Ahli Arab Hospital for treatment, it added.

Earlier we reported on a deadly Israeli air strike that targeted civilians at a training college near Gaza City being used to distribute aid.

The strike hit part of a vocational college run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), which is now providing aid to displaced families.

The death toll has risen to eight in the attack with 10 wounded, Reuters news agency cited witnesses as saying.

“Some people were coming to receive coupons and others had been displaced from their houses and they were sheltering here. Some were filling up water, others were receiving coupons, and suddenly we heard something falling,” said Mohammed Tafesh, one of the witnesses.

After fleeing the strike, Tafesh said he and others returned to pull the dead and wounded from the debris.

A survivor of the deadly Israeli attack on the UNRWA facility in Gaza City described the scene to Al Jazeera.

“I found my eldest son injured, the youngest trapped under the debris, and dead bodies lying there,” the unnamed woman said in a video interview at the bombed building.

“What wrong did those innocent children do? We are running from death towards death. Young men and women are slaughtered by the Israelis. There is no safe inch in the entire Gaza Strip. This is our life – nothing but fear and destruction.”

Another man at the scene added that all the people there are “displaced civilians – some trying to get their hands on food, others searching for clean water”.

“Without warning, Israeli warplanes fired missiles on us. This is an UNRWA centre and is supposed to be safe, but the Israelis have no regard to any limit,” he said.

An Israeli attack targeting a home in central Gaza’s Bureij camp has killed a Palestinian woman and injured others, report our colleagues on the ground. It follows our reports of an earlier strike near a power station in the nearby Nuseirat area, which killed at least two, according to Wafa.

Football player Ahmad Abu al-Atta has been killed, along with his wife and two children, in an air strike that hit their Gaza City home, according to the Palestinian Football Association (PFA).

The strike took place on Friday, local media reported today.

Abu al Atta, 34, was a defender for the enclave’s Al-Ahly Gaza football team. His wife, Ruba Esmael Abu al-Atta, was a medical professional, the PFA said in a statement.

Abu al Atta’s death adds to the toll of more than 300 athletes, referees, and sports officials who have been killed since the Gaza war started, Jibril Rajoub, president of the Palestinian Olympic Committee, said earlier this month.

Israeli tanks have pushed to the perimeter of al-Mawasi evacuation zone, where tens of thousands of displaced people have taken shelter, amid clashes with Hamas fighters, reports Reuters quoting locals.

“The fighting with the resistance has been intense,” one unnamed resident told Reuters. “The occupation forces are overlooking the al-Mawasi area now, which forced families there to head for Khan Younis.”

The military advance comes days after an Israeli attack on a tent camp in al-Mawasi killed 25 people and wounded more than 50.

The armed wing of Hamas, Qassam Brigades, says that its fighters and others from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s al-Quds Brigades have shelled an area where a group of Israeli soldiers and military vehicles had been stationed in Yibna refugee camp in Gaza’s southern city of Rafah.

The group also said that its fighters destroyed an “Ofek” armoured personnel carrier with a rocket west of the Tal Zourob neighbourhood in Rafah.

“As soon as other forces came to their aid, fighters targeted them” with homemade 114mm short-range “Rajum” rockets, it added.

Sultan Barakat, professor of public policy at Qatar’s Hamad Bin Khalifa University, says Israel’s latest deadly strikes add to a “long list of crimes against humanity in Gaza”.

The “tragedy” of the assaults, which killed dozens of people in Shati and al-Mawasi camps, is that they occurred in areas Israel had declared safe and encouraged people to move into, Barakat told Al Jazeera.

“They are now declaring to target Hamas bases there within that context,” he said.

“None of this can be justified. Even when Israel says it targeted individuals linked to Hamas, the way it targets them – with the size of the bombs – means they 100 percent know it is inevitable, given the density of the camps, that many, many civilians will be killed.”

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, citing the Global Education Cluster, says 69 percent of all schools sheltering displaced families in Gaza have either been “directly hit or damaged” during the war.

Shelters run by UNRWA, which is the main group providing assistance to displaced people in Gaza, have also been hit repeatedly, according to the agency, killing more than 500 people sheltering in them.

“This blatant disregard of humanitarian law must stop. We need a ceasefire now,” UNRWA said in a post on X.

World Food Programme’s Palestine Country Director Matthew Hollingworth has told Talk to Al Jazeera that while more aid trucks have been reaching the north of Gaza, Palestinians in the south of the Gaza Strip have been unable to return to the north.

Hollingworth said some Palestinians from neighbouring areas have been returning to Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip despite the damage to buildings, sewage and water infrastructure there.

“Jabalia has changed immeasurably just in the past month, since the last time I was there, it is so much more destroyed than it was,” he said. “And yet people are still there. People have returned, in fact, and they are living in the most incredibly difficult circumstances at the moment.”

A Jordanian humanitarian aid convoy consisting of 70 trucks has entered northern Gaza Strip, according to Jordan’s Roya News digital newspaper.

The convoy carried essential food parcels, consumables, medical supplies and medications, the report said, adding that it was sent by the Jordanian army and the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP).

The report quoted the head of JHCO, Hussein Al-Shibli, as saying that “all reports indicating that [Gaza] is nearing famine”.

He said Jordan has sent a total of 2,110 aid trucks and 53 planes since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza “in an attempt to alleviate and halt this tragic situation”.

Houthis claim attack on ship that docked in Israel

A drone has damaged a merchant ship 65 nautical miles (120km) west of Hodeidah, Yemen, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UK MTO) has reported. The ship is making its way to its next port of call and “all crew members are reported safe”, it added.

The latest attack comes after the Yemen-based Houthis claimed to have hit a commercial vessel directly with a ballistic missile after it used an Israeli port.

Yemen’s Houthis claim to have carried out a joint operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq against four vessels anchored at Israel’s Haifa port.

In a statement, the Houthis said they fired drones at two cement tankers and two cargo ships at the port yesterday, accusing them of violating a ban on entering “ports of occupied Palestine”.

It described the operation as “successful”, saying they achieved direct hits, but there was no independent confirmation. Israel’s military did not respond to the claim, but said in a post on X it had shot down a drone headed towards the country overnight from the east.

Yesterday, the Houthis also said they successfully attacked the USS Eisenhower in the Red Sea, a claim the US Central Command said was “categorically false”.

The Houthis have pledged to continue carrying out joint strikes with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq “in solidarity with Palestine”.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations says it has received a report of a distress call from a vessel 96 nautical miles (178km) southeast of Nishtun, Yemen.

Earlier today, it issued an alert of an incident 65 nautical miles (120km) from Yemen’s Hodeidah, saying a merchant vessel reported being hit by an “uncrewed aerial system” (UAS). The attack damaged the vessel, but all crew members were reported safe, with the ship proceeding to its next port of call, the announcement said.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq says the armed group has attacked “a vital target on the coast of the Dead Sea” by drones in support of Gaza. “The Islamic Resistance confirms its continued destruction of enemy strongholds,” it said without elaborating further on the results of the attack.

The Israeli military says it targeted Hezbollah fighters and buildings on Saturday night. It said Israeli warplanes struck a Hezbollah observation post in the Kfar Kila area of southern Lebanon. Israeli forces also attacked Hezbollah fighters in the Taiba area.

The latest attacks come as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned the “world cannot afford Lebanon to become another Gaza”.

This video is titled “To whom it may concern”.

It shows various locations – exact locations. They apparently include the HaKirya complex, which contains Israel’s Ministry of Security and military commands. The video has something that others do not: vital infrastructure, such as oil reservoirs, electric stations, satellite bases and the maritime coordinates for three gas extraction sites.

The video comes days after more drone footage from Hezbollah showed infiltrations into Israeli airspace over the port city of Haifa. As there is talk of escalation, this again is a warning from Hezbollah to Israel that it can infiltrate its airspace and it can highlight vital locations that could be targeted in the event of an all-out war.

Thousands of fighters from Iran-backed groups in the Middle East are ready to come to Lebanon to join the Hezbollah group in its battle with Israel if the simmering conflict escalates into a full-blown war, officials with Iran-backed factions and analysts say.

Almost daily exchanges of fire have occurred along Lebanon’s frontier with northern Israel since Israel launched a devastating war on Gaza in the wake of a deadly attack carried out by Hamas fighters inside Israel.

The situation worsened this month after an Israeli air strike killed a senior Hezbollah military commander in southern Lebanon. Hezbollah responded by firing hundreds of rockets and explosive drones into northern Israel.

Israeli officials have threatened a military offensive in Lebanon if there is no negotiated end to push Hezbollah away from the border. The Lebanese group has said it would halt its attacks if Israel stops its Gaza offensive, which has killed more than 37,000 Palestinians.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has claimed to have “directly hit” Israeli soldiers in a drone attack on the headquarters of the army’s 91st Division in northern Israel’s Ayelet HaShahar.

It said the attack left “them dead and wounded”.

In a statement on Telegram, the group said the attack came in response to “the assassination carried out by the Israeli enemy in the town of Al-Khayara” in eastern Lebanon’s Bekaa district a day earlier.

We reported yesterday about the Israeli raid on a car that killed a Lebanese man in the western Bekaa district.

Israeli forces later said they killed Ayman Ghatmeh, who had been “responsible for supplying weapons to Hamas and the Islamic Group [al-Jamaa al-Islamiya] in Lebanon” with a drone.

Israeli air defences have identified a series of aerial threats from Lebanon, including a drone that it shot down, according to the Israeli military. Falling debris from the projectiles caused fires in several areas of northern Israel, which firefighters are working to put out, according to the military.

Israeli broadcaster Kann said the flames were on the side of a mountain near the village of Dishon, the Misgav forest and Ayelet HaShahar, where Hezbollah claims to have hit an army site.

A Hezbollah drone attack targeting an Israeli military base in Ayelet HaShahar in the Upper Galilee caused a state of panic among soldiers, according to a video verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency.

In the footage shared by Israeli Army Radio on X, sirens are heard in the vicinity of the Israeli base as soldiers run into chaos trying to take cover.

One of the soldiers says in a tense voice, “[the drone] will fall here, yes it will fall here”. Another soldier is heard shouting, “there’s one more here”, before the camera captures the moment a drone was intercepted just over the base, and the soldier who was filming ran inside to take cover.

The Israeli military says one of its soldiers has been “severely wounded” and hospitalised after a drone attack. The report comes after Hezbollah claims to have “directly hit” Israeli soldiers stationed at a division headquarters in northern Israel’s Ayelet HaShahar.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency, citing its correspondent, reports that Israeli forces targeted forests in southern Lebanon with phosphorous bombs and caused fires.

The attack occurred near the town of Kfar Kila, NNA said. Israel forces are also carrying out “a search operation” near Kfar Kila from their base in Metula, a town in northern Israel.

As Al Jazeera reported in March, Israel continues to use white phosphorus munitions in south Lebanon, causing lasting damage and driving villagers away as Israeli officials threaten war across their northern border.

“Israel’s use of airburst white phosphorus munitions in populated areas indiscriminately harms civilians and has led many to leave their homes,” said Ramzi Kaiss, a Human Rights Watch researcher, in a recent report.

Israeli police arrested three people in Tel Aviv as they dispersed a crowd of antigovernment protesters blocking the road near the headquarters of Netanyahu’s Likud party, according to The Times of Israel.

The Israeli newspaper cited the Israeli police as saying that the protesters blocked the road setting fires and “endangering” passersby.

We must end the fighting: Former Israeli PM

On May 29, a motion was presented to the lower house of the Australian parliament by the Greens to vote on whether Australia should follow Spain, Norway, Ireland, Slovenia and the overwhelming majority of the world’s nations in recognising Palestinian statehood, but it failed to pass as 80 MPs voted against it.

My party, the Australian Labor Party, has consistently argued that such motions are political machinations on the part of the Greens in order to score “cheap points” and sway the public.

Even if that were the case, this “politicking” does not detract from the underlying fact that a genocide is ongoing, and the Australian public knows it. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been slaughtered, among them 15,000 children.

As Israel’s bombing campaign continues in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis deepens to catastrophic levels, the Biden administration has not wavered in its support for Israel.

US weapons transfers – from 2,000-pound bombs to artillery shells and tanks – have been a crucial part of the Israeli military campaign.

Ze’ev Elkin, a member of Israel’s Knesset with the right-wing New Hope party, has warned that Israel’s drawn-out war in Gaza is limiting its military options in the north bordering Lebanon.

“I think our problem in the north is in the south,” Elkin told Israel’s 103FM radio. “We got stuck in the south.” “We can’t move north until we finish the war in the south, and the north is paying the price for such management,” Elkin said.
