Intense raids and fire belts in Gaza, and the occupation closes Salah al-Din Street.

The Israeli occupation army continued its bombardment and violent airstrikes on various areas of Gaza City from the early hours of Saturday, leaving martyrs and injured, including displaced persons and aid seekers.

A correspondent reported renewed Israeli airstrikes on the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in the southwest of Gaza City at dawn. The occupation aircraft targeted homes and public facilities in the Tel al-Hawa and al-Sabra neighborhoods in southern Gaza City with incendiary belts, and detonated 10 explosive vehicles in the vicinity of the Tel al-Hawa neighborhood.

For its part, Al-Shifa Hospital reported the martyrdom of two children and injuries to others in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a school housing displaced persons in the center of Gaza City. An ambulance and emergency source also reported the martyrdom of a Palestinian woman and injuries to others in an attack by an Israeli drone on the al-Sabra neighborhood in southern Gaza City.

This comes as Palestinian sources stated that the occupation army fired at aid seekers near the Netzarim axis north of the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza Strip.

According to the same sources, Israeli artillery shelling targeted the northern part of the al-Bureij camp in central Gaza Strip. A correspondent also reported intense Israeli shelling and the detonation of explosive vehicles in the northwestern areas of Gaza City.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army announced the closure of Salah al-Din Street in the Gaza Strip, which it temporarily opened to facilitate the departure of those fleeing from the intensity of the Israeli bombardment on Gaza City and the northern sector.

The occupation army stated that from this moment on, movement southward would only be possible via al-Rashid Street, adding that it would continue to operate with unprecedented and intense force.

The residents of Gaza City and northern Gaza continue to flee southward due to the ongoing Israeli military operation, amid harsh humanitarian conditions and scarce means of transportation, as the occupation has destroyed thousands of vehicles during its war on Gaza.

On Tuesday, the Israeli army announced the start of its military operation to occupy Gaza City with the participation of two military divisions, with a third division expected to join them soon.

The army stated in a statement, "We have entered another phase of the Gideon Vehicles operation in the heart of Gaza City," adding that the goal of the operation in Gaza City is to destroy the infrastructure of Hamas until its defeat.

Military estimates indicate that there are thousands of Hamas fighters inside Gaza City, according to the army's statement.

Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant tweeted on the X platform that "Gaza is burning," and that the army "is striking with an iron fist at the infrastructure of terrorism," working to "create the conditions for the release of hostages and the defeat of Hamas," as he described it.

Humanitarianly, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced yesterday, Friday, that the death toll from malnutrition resulting from the ongoing Israeli starvation policy since October 7, 2023, has risen to 440 Palestinians, including 147 children.

The ministry stated in a statement that it recorded 4 new deaths in the past 24 hours due to famine and malnutrition, raising the total number of deaths over the past two years to 440 Palestinians.

Since March 2, Israel has closed all crossings leading to Gaza, preventing any humanitarian aid, plunging the sector into famine despite the accumulation of relief trucks at its borders.

However, it allowed the entry of very limited amounts of aid less than two months ago, which do not meet the minimum needs of the starving population and do not end the famine, especially as most trucks have been looted by gangs that the Gaza government claims Israel protects.
