Israel keeps up West Bank raids; 3 children freeze to death in Gaza

By Staff Reporter
Doctors in Gaza City say three more children have died of the “severe cold” as Israel continues to block the entry of tents and mobile homes into the Palestinian enclave.
Palestinians say Israel is carrying out war tactics employed in Gaza in the occupied West Bank as the military deploys tanks, destroys vast areas of the Jenin refugee camp, carves out roadways and makes preparations to set up a base there.
Hamas accuses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of “intentionally sabotaging” the Gaza ceasefire deal by postponing the release of 620 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
Gaza’s Health Ministry has confirmed 48,346 Palestinian deaths in Israel’s war on Gaza, while 111,759 people have been wounded. The Government Media Office updated its death toll to at least 61,709, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead.
At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks and more than 200 taken captive.
