Israel is preparing to “conquer” and “clear” everything in Gaza
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he plans to “take over” Gaza and move civilians south.
Local health officials said at least 23 Palestinians were killed across the Gaza Strike on Sunday, including local journalists and senior rescue officials.
The latest death in the Israeli campaign came from separate Israeli strikes in Khan Yunis in the south, Jabaria in the north and Nusirat in the Gaza Strip, Medix said.
In Jabaria, local journalist Hassan Majidi Abu Walda and several families said they were killed in an airstrike that struck his home on Sunday.
Another airstrike in Nuseirat killed Ashraf Abu Nar, a senior official in the territory’s civil emergency services, and his wife, Ashraf Abu Nar.
There were no immediate comments by the Israeli military.
Hamaslan Gaza government’s media office said that the death of Abu Walda has increased the number of Palestinian journalists killed in Gaza to 220 since October 7, 2023.
In another statement, the media office said Israeli forces control 77% of the Gaza Strip through ground forces or evacuation orders and artillery fire, keeping residents away from their homes.
Armed wings of Hamas and Islamic jihad said in separate statements on Sunday that the fighters had used bombs and tank rockets against Israeli forces operating in several regions of Gaza to carry out several ambush and attacks.
On Friday, Israeli forces said they had been struggling more overnight in Gaza, hitting 75 targets, including weapons storage facilities and rocket launchers.
Israel launched an air and ground war in Gaza after a cross-border attack by Hamas extremists on October 7, 2023.
Gaza Health Authority said the conflict killed more than 53,900 Palestinians and destroyed coastal belts. The aid group says signs of severe malnutrition are widespread.
