The Palestinian Health Ministry said four people aged 23 to 28 were killed during the Israeli early morning raid on the northern city of Jenin. A ministry statement said a 23-year-old man was shot dead by Israeli forces at the entrance of Yata town, south of Hebron city. "We clearly condemn the attacks and violence by the settlers against the Palestinian communities," Fischer said, adding that these attacks in the occupied territories claimed many lives in recent weeks.
"There are no Israeli tanks in Salah al Din street and life has returned to normal," the Government Media Office said in a statement. The strike targeted a house in the town of Zawaida, northeast of the central Deir al Balah city, killing 11 people and injuring several others, the ministry said in a statement.
Israel's chief military spokesperson Daniel Hagari also said during a regular press briefing that it is"advancing gradually" in Gaza and will step up the offensive"according to phases, goals of war." The army said"troops killed dozens of terrorists who barricaded themselves in buildings and tunnels and attempted to attack the troops".Arrangements by Egypt are underway for the entry of 60 aid trucks into Gaza through the Rafah crossing, local media reported.
"Impeding relief supplies as provided by the Geneva Conventions may constitute a crime within the court jurisdiction," Karim Khan told reporters in Cairo. The United Nations humanitarian organisation OCHA said 33 trucks carrying water, food and medical supplies had gone into Gaza on Sunday, through the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.Israel has reopened the second of three pipelines supplying water to Gaza, according to the Israeli Defense Ministry.
“Israeli raids on Gaza have caused the destruction of 47 mosques and damaged three churches and 203 schools in addition to 80 government buildings,” the director of the office, Salama Maarouf, said at a press conference. The United Nations earlier warned that"civil order" was starting to collapse in Gaza after thousands of people ransacked its food warehouses there, taking wheat, flour and other supplies.2313 GMT — Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital in Gaza severely damaged from Israeli air strikes
