Israeli military kills dozens in Gaza as Palestinians detained in strip and West Bank
Israeli attacks across Gaza killed at least 42 Palestinians, according to medical sources in the territory.
At least five Palestinians, including a child, were killed, and several were wounded in an Israeli airstrike on Khan Younis after a strike targeted a tent sheltering a displaced family behind the Abu Matar Mosque. Four more were killed after a strike targeted a motorcycle in the region.
At the same time, a young Palestinian man was killed after an Israeli airstrike targeted a five-story building in the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood south of Gaza City while Israeli forces fired at paramedics trying to reach the site.
Two Israeli airstrikes on a house near the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya in north Gaza killed six civilians.
In the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp, Israeli strikes destroyed a building and targeted roads outside mosques, killing at least 11 people, according to health officials at the Al-Awda Hospital in the camp.
Israeli forces have now begun pulling out of Nuseirat camp after a daylong incursion that has killed dozens of civilians.
This comes as Israeli forces ramped up their assaults in central Gaza and continued to advance into the north and south.
Israel’s assault on the north, which has gone on for seven weeks now, has uprooted 130,000, according to the head of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini.
The Israeli military told Reuters its forces were continuing to "strike terror targets as part of the operational activity in the Gaza Strip".
Along with bombardment, Israeli forces also detained four Palestinians in Nablus during a raid in Beit Furik, seizing three vehicles, gold jewellery and money belonging to the detainees .
Local and security sources told Wafa that several Israeli military vehicles and jeeps stormed a village and raided several homes, ransacking them and detaining four people.
Israeli forces also raided the Qalqilya district in the occupied West Bank, detaining four more Palestinians.
The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) reveal that over 11,800 Palestinians have been detained in the occupied West Bank since 7 October last year.
The figure also includes civilians detained from their homes at military checkpoints and those who have surrendered and taken hostage.
As Winter approaches, thousands of displaced Palestinians are bracing for the temperature drop and the rain with a lack of safe shelter, blankets or warm clothing.
Latest data from the Gaza Health Ministry reveals that at least 44,330 Palestinians have been killed since 7 October last year, and over 104,933 have been wounded.
