GAZA’s Government Media Office reports that 84 Palestinians, including more than 50 children, were killed in two Israeli air strikes on residential buildings in northern Gaza in attacks described as “brutal massacres”.
Al Jazeera Arabic reports that Israeli forces have destroyed residential buildings north of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
The report of the early morning attacks comes after the Nuseirat area was subjected to 24 hours of nonstop Israeli artillery fire, air raids, drone attacks and bombardment by Israeli naval vessels on Friday, according to UN staff who recounted the terror of civilians trapped by the attacks.
Another heavy day of bombardment by the Israeli air force. A lot of it focusing, yet again, on that area in the east of Lebanon, in the Bekaa Valley.
Reports of dozens of people being killed and more than 25 towns and villages being targeted in that area by Israel.
It was very telling certainly that, this morning, the Israeli military warned civilians about returning to that area to check on the status of their homes. Many of which would have been completely destroyed. That may be an indication that the focus of Israel’s operation in the east of Lebanon continues.
A similar kind of scenario in the south of the country, as well.
The southern port city of Tyre is coming under fire again, with one massive air strike in the centre of that city, and Israel did not give a warning in relation to that attack.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,259 Palestinians and wounded 101,827 since October 7, 2023. An estimated 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 2,897 people have been killed and 13,150 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began, with 30 people killed across the country in the past 24 hours, the Lebanese Health Ministry says.
