Gaza ministry says more than 30 killed in Israeli bombing of Maghazi refugee camp

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says more than 30 people were killed in an Israeli bombing of the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza late on Saturday, Agence France-Presse reports.

“More than 30 [dead] arrived at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah in the massacre committed by the occupation in al-Maghazi camp in the central Gaza Strip,” a health ministry spokesperson, Ashraf Al-Qudra, said in a statement.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa earlier said 51 Palestinians had been killed and scores wounded in the bombardment.

Hamas said in a statement posted on Telegram that Israel had “directly” bombed citizens’ homes, adding that most of the dead were women and children.

“An Israeli air strike targeted my neighbours’ house in al-Maghazi camp, my house next door partially collapsed,” said Mohammed Alaloul, 37, a journalist working for the Turkish Anadolu Agency.

Alaloul told AFP his 13-year-old son, Ahmed, and his four-year-old son, Qais, were killed in the attack, along with his brother. His wife, mother and two other children were injured.

An Israeli military spokesperson said it was looking into whether the Israel Defence Forces had been operating in the area at the time of the bombing.

War doom scrolling is making me an insane person so I'll share some non-war news.

There was a spider next to my PC. It must have sat there for at least 36 hours. Then it moved ~6 inches and it stopped moving again for another ~12 hours. I wondered if the little guy was dying of thirst so I carefully put some water on the floor next to him. The last time I did this - I gave water to a dead spider.

But this time was different. A few minutes later his legs were in the water and it seemed he was actually taking a drink. I couldn't see much but his mouth part legs (whatever they're called) were moving. It had been a couple hours and he'd only moved a few inches. I touched him gentlely with a piece of paper and he ran around in a panic. I guess he's okay.

Ninja edit: There's a tiny insect moving around him. An ant? C'mon, spidey - it's snack time.

why is he giving a shoutout to will menaker now? what's going on?

White House says no sign Hezbollah ready to go in ‘full force’

Amid an increase of fire across the Israel-Lebanon border, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said there is no indication the Iran-backed group is ready “to go in full force.”

Still, he said the White House was concerned about attacks on Israeli by Hezbollah, who claimed to have hit 19 Israeli positions in a simultaneous attack today.

Jabalia refugee camp ‘completely destroyed’

Gaza’s civil defence director reports the Jabalia refugee camp has been “completely destroyed” by Israeli bombardment.

“These buildings house hundreds of citizens. The occupation’s air force destroyed this district with six US-made bombs. It is the latest massacre caused by Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip,” Ahmad al-Kahlout told reporters outside of a hospital in Khan Younis.

“The international community must act immediately to stop Israel before it is too late.”

It is not immediately clear how many people have been killed or wounded in the bombing.

More than 50 killed in Jabalia strike: Indonesian hospital director

The director of the Indonesian Hospital in Gaza says dozens of people were killed in the strike on the Jabalia refugee camp.

“More than 50 people have been killed so far,” he told Al Jazeera, adding that the hospital was unable to yet provide the total number of casualties as it was still counting the victims.

“The hospital will stop working completely tomorrow evening due to fuel shortages,” the director warned.

Video shows Israeli tank apparently opening fire on passenger vehicle on the main Gaza road

An Israeli tank was filmed apparently opening fire on a passenger vehicle as it executed a U-turn on the main road running through Gaza.

The footage — filmed by Palestinian freelance journalist Yousif Al Saifi and geolocated by CNN — shows the tank close to the Netzarim Junction, a key crossroad to the south of Gaza City, and about three kilometers (1.8 miles) from the Strip’s eastern boundary.

“The tank was standing there and targeting anyone who came close to it,” Al Saifi said, describing the incident on his Telegram account. “A car and a bus were both targeted in that area; there was also a bulldozer beside the tank.”

It is not known who was driving the vehicle, nor their condition after the incident. The Israeli army has not publicly commented on the incident.

Israel's noose around Gaza City begins to tighten

The presence of an Israeli tank on the main north-south highway in the Gaza Strip is surely a sign that Israel’s noose around Gaza City is beginning to tighten.

The tank which fired on a car moving towards Gaza City marks the first appearance of Israeli forces on the road just north of Wadi Gaza.

The tank appears to have moved on, but Wadi Gaza is the line the IDF has repeatedly referred to when telling people living in the northern third of the Gaza Strip – including Gaza City and the surrounding areas – to move south.

It’s clear that as Israeli forces gradually escalate their operations, Gaza City will be a major focus of their efforts.

But with tens – perhaps hundreds – of thousands of people remaining in the north out of fear or determination – it seems the IDF could attempt to cut it off completely.

There are only two north-south roads. Salah-al-Din, where this morning’s incident took place, is the main route. A smaller road, along the coast, can be easily targeted by Israeli warships off the coast.

The area just north of Wadi Gaza is less populated than Gaza City to the north and Bureij and Nuseirat to the south. This would be a logical place for Israel to attempt to sever the Gaza Strip in two.

Evacuation warning to AJ correspondent ‘very worrying’: Media watchdog

We reported earlier that the husband of Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza City, Youmna ElSayed, received a threatening phone call from the Israeli army telling the family to leave their home immediately, as explosions were going off all around their neighbourhood.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Khadija Patel, chairperson of the International Press Institute, described the call as a “very worrying” development.

“This is an indication of deliberate targeting of journalists, something that we are concerned about as part of a trend that we are seeing within this conflict,” she added.

“We want to … urge the Israeli forces to protect the lives and work of journalists in this war.”

And here’s Youmna ElSayed’s live broadcast a short while ago, giving details about the phone call her family received.

What the United States has said so far about the strike at a refugee camp in northern Gaza

Several United States officials are saying Israel is not targeting civilians and is working to minimize harm to people in Gaza, despite a massive explosion Tuesday at the Jabalya refugee camp that has resulted in many casualties.

Lt. Col. Richard Hecht of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) told CNN that the airstrike was targeting a Hamas commander, whom he accused of “hiding, as they do, behind civilians.” Civilian deaths, Hecht also said, are “the tragedy of war.”

Hamas however has strongly denied the presence of one of its leaders in camp, Hazem Qassem, a spokesperson for the group said in a statement Tuesday.

Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said Tuesday that the Israeli military is not “deliberately targeting civilians, unlike Hamas."

Ryder said he could not “speak to individual Israeli strikes” but said the Pentagon does “care about civilian casualties, and we’ve made it both clear publicly and privately about our concern for the protection of innocent life and the respect for the law of war.”

The White House said it has seen “indications” that Israel is trying to protect civilians. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby called the deaths as a result of the strike on the Jabalya refugee camp “all tragedies” and said the US would “continue to work with the Israelis about the need to respect human life, and to try to limit civilian casualties.”

Asked if he would go as far as to say that Israel is not successfully minimizing civilian casualties in Gaza, Kirby replied: “It's obvious to us that they are trying to minimize [civilian casualties]."

Meanwhile, the State Department would not comment on the Israeli strike on the Jabalya refugee camp except to say generally that the US has said to Israel that they must minimize civilian harm.

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller would not comment on whether or not the US has laid down any “red lines” for Israel or whether the US would accept the killing of a Hamas commander in a civilian area as justification for the deaths of scores of civilian casualties.

Former Israeli minister calls for ‘erasure’ of Gaza

Galit Distel Atbaryan, a member of parliament from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, has tweeted that Israel’s divided politicians should unite and instead erase “all of Gaza from the face of the earth”.

Distel Atbaryan, who was public diplomacy minister until mid-October, and was previously information minister, wrote the incendiary tweet after she said she viewed footage of Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7.

The politician added that “Gazan monsters” had the option of heading to Egypt or dying, and said that there should be “fire and smoke on the heads of Nazis” in the occupied West Bank.

Lebanese opposition leader calls for Hezbollah to withdraw from country’s south

Samir Geagea, the head of the Lebanese Forces party, has said that the country’s Shia militia Hezbollah should withdraw from the country’s south, as the threat of all-out war with Israel rises.

“It would be better if Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah withdrew from the south and handed it over to the army, instead of giving his speech tomorrow, and his promotional films – ‘it’s not time for them’,” Geagea said in a post on social media.

Hezbollah says they targeted the HQ of the IDF battalion in the Zabdin barracks, in the occupied Shebaa Farms, with two suicide drones filled with a large amount of explosives

This is the first time that Hezbollah has officially claimed the use of suicide drones in its battle against Israel since October 7th.
