Israeli forces struck areas in the centre of the Gaza Strip yesterday where thousands of Palestinians displaced from their homes have been seeking shelter.
Residents in Rafah, near the border with Egypt, said fierce battles raged between Hamas-led resistance fighters and Israeli forces, especially in the centre and in western areas where tanks advanced in the previous two days.
Israeli strikes in the previous 24 hours killed at least 64 and wounded more than 100 others, the local health ministry said. At least 22 were killed by strikes yesterday, according to the Hamas-run Gaza government media office.
Israeli strikes in areas of central Gaza in the past week have been focused on the Al-Nuseirat camp, where dozens of people have been killed.
At least 38,983 Palestinians have been killed and 89,727 others injured in Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, Gaza’s health ministry said yesterday.
Tensions are high in the region, with concerns remaining over a possible spread of violence.
Israeli jets struck Houthi military targets near Yemen’s Hodeidah port on Saturday, a day after a drone launched by the Iranian-backed group hit Tel Aviv, and separate Israeli strikes targeted a depot storing ammunition belonging to Lebanese armed group Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, security sources said.
