CAIRO (Dispatches) – The
Zionist regime’s airstrikes killed at least 37 people in Gaza on Tuesday, local medics said and fighting ramped up.
Palestinian health officials said at least 13 people, including women and children, were killed in two Israeli strikes on two houses in Nuseirat, one of the enclave’s eight historic refugee camps.
There has been no immediate comment by the Israeli army on the two strikes.
Another strike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinian families in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City killed at least seven people, medics added.
Later on Tuesday, two separate Israeli attacks killed five Palestinians in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip and in the Zeitoun suburb of Gaza City, medics said.
In Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave, six Palestinians were killed in an Israeli air strike on a tent housing displaced people, medics said.
Hours later, an Israeli airstrike on a car in western Khan Younis, killed six Palestinians, medics said. Footage circulated on social media showed a mangled, burnt-out vehicle.
Oxfam said in a report on Tuesday that Israeli explosive weapons hit civilian infrastructure in Gaza - including schools, hospitals and aid distribution points - every three hours.
According to Oxfam, Israeli explosive weapons hit schools and hospitals every four days on average.
Meanwhile, 12 people, including children, were killed in an airstrike on a residential building, south of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza in the early hours of Tuesday.
Also on Tuesday, Israel conducted artillery and airstrikes on Amour area in al-Fukhari Town, east of Khan Yunis City, in southern Gaza. However, there were no immediate reports of possible casualties.
Shuja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza city, and a tent housing displaced people northeast of the southern city of Rafah were also among the targets of overnight Israeli strikes.
The armed wings of Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and other resistance factions said in separate statements that their fighters attacked Zionist troops operating in several areas of Gaza with anti-tank rockets, mortar fire, and explosive devices.
The renewed surge in the Zionist regime’s aggression in Gaza comes as the regime claimed it began a ground invasion of Lebanon, saying its paratroopers and commandos were engaged in intense fighting with Hezbollah.
The operation into Lebanon represents an escalation of the conflict in West Asia between the Zionist regime and resistance movements.
The occupying regime launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 41,615 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 96,000 others.
Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
