Ramallah/Prensa Latina
Dozens of Palestinians have been killed or injured in recent hours as a result of attacks in Gaza by the Israeli army, which today expanded its ground offensive by assaulting an area known as Hamad City.
The official Wafa news agency reported the death of 14 citizens, including six minors, as a result of the bombing of planes last night against a house east of the southern city of Rafah.
Several people lost their lives in a similar incident that occurred in the Jabalia refugee camp, in the north of the coastal enclave, he stressed.
At least four more died when a house in the northern city of Gaza was attacked, he said.
Wafa reported that “the Israeli war machine carried out violent aerial and artillery bombardment tonight north of Khan Yunis” as part of its advance towards the Hamad Towers.
The Armed Forces confirmed this morning the new phase of the military campaign by noting that the 98th division began to deepen its advances against the area, known for its poverty.
The attack coincided with the beginning in Cairo of a new cycle of indirect contacts between Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) to seek a ceasefire and an exchange of prisoners.
In recent weeks, mediators, led by Egypt and Qatar, have intensified meetings to achieve a temporary cessation of fighting before the start (March 10 or 11, depending on the country) of Ramadan, the holy month for Muslims. .
In this regard, the media reported that a Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo this Sunday.
