MORE than 20 people, including six children and five women, have been killed in Israeli strikes on central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp, the Wafa news agency reports.
Gaza’s civil defence agency said the Indonesian Hospital came under Israeli attack in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya where at least 29 people were reported killed in a series of air strikes on and near the Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza reports that Israeli tanks and drones operating around Kamal Adwan are “shooting at any moving object”, whether inside the hospital or nearby.
As we have been reporting, the Israeli military has carried out several deadly attacks over the past day as it has laid siege to the Kamal Adwan Hospital and the surrounding area in northern Gaza.
One such attack – caught on video in a clip authenticated by Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification unit – involved Israeli forces opening fire on a Palestine Red Crescent Society ambulance.
Also, Israeli forces are continuing operations in southern Lebanon focused on “clearing” Hezbollah weapons stores and military infrastructure, US-based defence think tanks report.
The Critical Threats Project (CTP) and the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), citing various sources, said Israel’s military was reported operating in south Lebanon’s Kfar Kila and Meiss el-Jabal areas on Friday, as well as Khiam.
Media in Lebanon reported Israeli gunfire and explosions in the Aitaroun area, as well as shooting in Ramyah and Aita al-Shaab, the CTP/ISW report.
The CTP/ISW also reports that Israel’s 226th paratrooper and 300th territorial brigades continue to operate in southwestern Lebanon where they reported destroying Hezbollah rockets, ammunition and assault rifles.
According to the war monitors, the ceasefire with Hezbollah allows Israeli forces to operate in southern Lebanon until January 25, 2025.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 44,612 Palestinians and wounded 105,834 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 were taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 4,047 people have been killed and 16,638 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.
