Palestinians look for survivors following an Israeli air strike in Nusseirat refugee camp in the Gaza Strip
In the Jabaliya refugee camp on Gaza City’s outskirts, at least six air strikes destroyed a number of apartment blocks in a residential area, the Hamas-run Interior Ministry said. More than half the territory’s 2.3 million Palestinians have fled their homes, with hundreds of thousands sheltering in packed UN-run schools-turned-shelters or in hospitals alongside thousands of wounded patients.Thousands of people broke into the UN’s aid warehouses over the weekend to take food, as supplies of basic goods have dwindled because of the Israeli siege.
The military said it shot down what appeared to be a drone near the southernmost city of Eilat and intercepted a missile over the Red Sea on Tuesday, neither of which entered Israeli airspace.The Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen later issued a video statement claiming to have fired ballistic missiles and drones at Israel, saying it was the third such operation.
Jonathan Conricus, an Israeli military spokesman, called Gaza City the “centre of gravity of Hamas” but said strikes continue in other parts of the territory. Mr Conricus said some 800,000 people have heeded the Israeli military’s orders to flee from the northern part of the strip to the south.The window to flee south may be closing, as Israeli forces reached Gaza’s main north-south highway this week.
