Israel’s aerial bombing and Ground Invasion continues in Gaza with Israeli air strikes killing 20 Palestinians in Jabalia, a refugee camp neighbourhood located at the northern end of the Gaza Strip, close to the Israeli-occupied border.
Reports indicate that, during the ground invasion, Israeli forces attacked parts of the Gaza Strip, including the southern city of Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah in central Gaza where two people were reported killed in Geniena district in Rafah and many others were injured.
Additionally, there are reports that an Israeli aircraft targeted the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem, occupied West Bank, where two Palestinians have been reported killed.
Further reports reveal that Israeli bulldozers crushed Palestinians in the yard of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza with Palestinian health officials calling for an “urgent probe.”
Moreover, three Israeli captives were killed in Gaza by Israeli forces, one of them holding a white flag, an Israeli military official said.
“Three Israeli captives, one waving a white flag, are killed by Israeli forces in Gaza,” he said.
“In the densely populated Shejaiya neighborhood of Gaza City, troops mistakenly identified three Israeli hostages as a trap,” he added.
