The military conflict in the Gaza Strip claimed new victims on Tuesday. New Israeli strikes killed Palestinians in Nuseirat refugee camp and Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza.
An Israeli raid in Nuseirat refugee camp left seven people dead
Seven people have been killed and several others injured in an Israeli raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, Qatari TV channel Al Jazeera reported.
According to the TV channel, Israeli troops blew up several residential houses during the raid.
Israeli troops killed at least 12 people in northern Gaza
Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip overnight and Tuesday killed at least 12 Palestinians, medics said, as Israeli tanks entered the enclave’s central and southern neighbourhoods.
Overnight, an Israeli airstrike killed at least 10 people in Beit Hanoun in northern Gaza, where Israeli troops have been operating since October, and wounded dozens of others in a high-rise building, medics said.
Another airstrike killed two people in Rafah south of the enclave, medics and Palestinian Emergency Services officials said.
In the town of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, Israeli naval forces detained six Palestinian fishermen who were trying to sail to the Mediterranean Sea earlier Tuesday, residents said.
According to Israeli calculations, Hamas-led militants killed about 1,200 people and took more than 250 hostages in Gaza during the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. According to Gaza’s medical services, more than 44,700 Palestinians were killed in the fierce Israeli offensive on Gaza that followed.
Israel has imposed a complete blockade on the densely populated territory, depriving more than two million Palestinians living there of fuel, electricity, food and water.
Greece’s former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis tweeted:
“Have you noticed that, today, no one is talking about the ongoing genocide in Gaza? This is the greatest gift to Netanyahu and his merry genocide maniacs. Keep talking Palestine people!”
