GAZA, Occupied Palestine (MNTV) – Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza continues, with at least 31 Palestinians killed and 57 injured in the last 24 hours, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Early Tuesday, Israeli airstrikes targeted homes in Gaza City and the Nuseirat refugee camp, killing six Palestinians.
Four were killed in a strike on the Sehweil family home near the Beach refugee camp, while two others lost their lives in Nuseirat when the Al-Abeed family’s home was destroyed.
In the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, an Israeli airstrike on a tent for displaced people left one injured.
More casualties were reported in Bureij and Rafah refugee camps, adding to the growing toll.
Meanwhile, violence continues in the occupied West Bank, where several Palestinians were killed and wounded by Israeli forces.
Israeli troops have also launched a manhunt after gunmen killed three Israelis near an illegal settlement in Qalqilya governorate.
North Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital has been repeatedly targeted, worsening the humanitarian crisis.
The UN’s relief chief, Tom Fletcher, warns that efforts to save lives in Gaza are “at breaking point” due to continued attacks on aid workers, including a World Food Programme convoy.
Meanwhile, ceasefire talks have reported progress with Hamas approving an Israeli list of prisoners that need to be freed as part of the deal.
Sources told U.K-based news website Middle East Eye that two children, 10 women – five of them soldiers – and 11 people over the age of 50 were among the 34 prisoners that the Palestinian group would release if a cease-fire deal were reached.
Among those on the list is 19-year-old soldier Liri Albag, who appeared in a video posted by Hamas on the weekend.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 45,885 Palestinians and wounded 109,196 since October 7, 2023, cutting the battered enclave’s population by 6%.
Months ago the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its deadly war on Gaza.
