In the last 24 hours, Israeli bombings have killed at least 59 people and injured 273, according to the Ministry of Health’s daily tally. Since this Thursday, the Army has been hitting all corners of the Strip with greater intensity and without rest, but with greater emphasis in the north.
The total number of deaths in the devastated Gaza Strip rose this Saturday to 45,717 and the number of wounded to 108,856 since the start of the war, reported the enclave’s Ministry of Health. The Palestinian authorities insist on remembering that these figures are higher, since they do not include the thousands of missing people who remain under the rubble without being able to be rescued due to the lack of heavy machinery, among other reasons.
The same dynamic is being carried out by Benjamin Netanyahu’s troops this Saturday, whose attacks have killed nearly 30 people since this morning, according to several Palestinian channels, which cite medical sources. In the Shujaiya neighborhood alone, east of Gaza City, eleven civilians lost their lives after Israeli planes bombed a house, reports the official Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
Israeli soldiers also blew up residential buildings in the Jabalia camp in the besieged north of the Strip, a place that fighter jets later also attacked. In addition, five people, including security personnel and private companies, were killed in an Israeli attack on a vehicle in Khan Younis, south of the Strip.
Israel has increased its attacks against Hamas police officers and security personnel who, in most cases, are responsible for guarding trucks with humanitarian aid. The Israeli Army, for its part, reported this Saturday that its troops continue to operate in the north and that in the last week they destroyed a complex in the Beit Hanoun area, where Hamas commanders “entrenched themselves.” In a statement, the Army explains that this complex served “as a terrorist center” and that it contained anti-tank firing positions, booby traps, wells, numerous explosives and launch sites to attack Israeli territory.
