The Israeli military has targeted residential buildings, public facilities, and infrastructure across the Gaza Strip, killing at least nine members of a family in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Israeli ground forces were conducting a military operation seeking to expand the Netzarim Corridor – a 6.5km (4-mile) stretch established in the center of the enclave by the Israeli military that divides northern and southern Gaza.
In northern Gaza, Israeli jets carried out air raids, targeting the remaining residential buildings in the town of Beit Lahiya, killing at least four people, Mahmoud said.
In the south, at least four people were killed on Thursday morning when Israeli drones attacked a group of Palestinian civilians near a camp for displaced people in the town of Abasan, east of the city of Khan Younis, according to the Wafa news agency.
Israel’s army has not commented on the recent attacks. It usually claims its operations target Hamas and that it makes efforts to avoid civilian casualties.
Talal al-Arouqi, a correspondent for Al Jazeera Mubasher, was injured in an Israeli attack on the camp in central Gaza, our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting.
The United Nations said earlier this month that more than 70 percent of those confirmed killed in Gaza are women and children.
The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on social media platform X that Israeli authorities denied 82 of 91 attempts by the UN to deliver aid to northern Gaza between early October and November 25.
Israel also impeded nine other attempts to bring humanitarian supplies to the north of the territory, which has been under an Israeli military siege and constant bombardment for more than 50 days.
Israel’s war in Gaza has killed at least 44,282 Palestinians and wounded 104,880 others since October 7, 2023.
