On the night from Saturday to Sunday, Israel again carried out attacks on the Gaza Strip, including in the south, where an estimated 1.7 million residents have fled.
In Khan Younis, a city in the south of the Gaza Strip, fighter planes hit “more than fifty targets”, according to the Israeli army. At least seven people were killed early Sunday morning in an Israeli bombardment near Gaza’s southern border with Egypt, the Hamas-led government said.
An Israeli attack also hit the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza on Saturday evening. At least thirteen people were killed, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA.
Israeli forces have attacked more than 400 targets in Gaza since the end of the fighting lull on Friday morning, the army said on Saturday. That figure corresponds to the daily average before the break.
US Vice President Kamala Harris said on Saturday that there have already been “too many” civilian deaths in Israel’s eight-week war against Hamas. “Frankly, the extent of civilian suffering and the images and videos from Gaza are devastating,” she said on the sidelines of the UN climate summit in Dubai.
