Palestinians are fleeing the Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip after the Israeli army issued new evacuation orders. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said 86 percent of the Gaza Strip is currently under such orders.
Israel’s security cabinet has authorised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant to determine a response to the rocket attack that killed 12 people, most of them children, in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. Israel blames Lebanon’s Hezbollah for the attack.
Tanks pushed deeper into Gaza’s two main southern cities, Rafah and Khan Younis, as battles between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters raged. At least 66 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the past 24 hours.
At least 39,324 people have been killed and 90,830 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7 and more than 200 were taken captive.
