Injuries in Israeli bombing north of Gaza and intense raids on other areas

Medical sources reported that a number of Palestinians were injured as a result of Israeli artillery shelling targeting the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza Strip. This coincided with intense air strikes and shooting at the area controlled by the Israeli army inside the Strip.

The sources explained that a number of wounded were transferred, without specifying the exact number, to Al-Shifa Hospital in the west of Gaza City, following the artillery shelling that targeted the outskirts of the town of Beit Lahia, north of the Strip.

Several areas east of Gaza City, including the Al-Tuffah and Al-Shujaiya neighborhoods, in addition to areas east of Deir al-Balah city in the center of the Strip, and the vicinity of the areas where the Israeli army is still stationed east of the cities of Khan Yunis and Rafah in the south, witnessed air strikes and heavy shooting from Israeli vehicles and aircraft. No further details were available about the nature of the targets.

The Israeli army continues to control the southern and eastern strips, in addition to large parts of the northern Gaza Strip, which includes more than 50% of the area of the Strip.

This comes in light of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and sponsored by the United States, which began implementation on October 10.

Since October 8, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been waging a war in Gaza, which has left more than 70,000 dead and more than 171,000 injured Palestinians, most of them children and women.

Israel violates the agreement on a daily basis, which has led to the death and injury of hundreds of Palestinians, and prevents the entry of sufficient quantities of food and medicine into Gaza, where about 2.4 million people live in catastrophic humanitarian conditions.
