At least fifty-one individuals were killed as a result of an Israeli air strike against the Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central part of the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian news agency Wafa said.
The Israeli Air Force attacked a residential building in the refugee camp on Saturday evening, Wafa informed. Women and children make up the majority of victims, the news agency noted. Information was also received about dozens of victims, with many of them still under rubble.
Strikes were also delivered against residential quarters in the north and the west of the Palestinian enclave, apart from the Al-Maghazi camp.
Tensions flared up in the Middle East after Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip attacked Israeli territory on October 7, when many Israelis living in the settlements near the border were killed and more than 200 people, including children, women and the elderly, were taken hostage. Hamas views its attack as a response to Israeli authorities’ steps against the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip and launched bombardments of the enclave and some areas in Lebanon and Syria.
Israel’s heavy bombardment of Gaza has intensified, particularly in the north where many civilians remain trapped and unable to flee.
At least 47 people killed in an Israeli attack on al-Maghazi refugee camp while six people killed in Jabalia refugee camp.
Israel launched its ground offensive in Gaza as a slow, rolling and gradual advance of land forces along three main axes.
From the north, armoured and mechanised units moved at Gaza City in two columns across the 6km (3.7-mile) front.
The second column moved along the Mediterranean beaches. And the third group advanced from the east, across relatively easy ground that consists of desert and farmland, with a few tiny hamlets unsuitable to mount a determined defence.
While establishing facts on the ground is not easy, information from both sides and non-combatants seems to confirm that the front lines have moved.
Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem denied that any senior commander was present in the tunnels and called the claim an Israeli pretext for killing civilians.
Meanwhile, hospitals were overwhelmed with victims, Palestinian state news agency Wafa and Gaza's Health Ministry reported on Tuesday.
“Hundreds of victims, including martyrs and wounded, have arrived at the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip following the occupation's targeting of citizens' homes in Jabalia camp,” the ministry said.
Dr Atef Kahlout, head of the Indonesian Hospital, told The National that about 400 people had been killed or wounded in the air strikes.
The hospital, which can accommodate 257 patients, is about 2km from the location of the attack, he said.
“We are having to treat victims on the floors [as] we have nowhere to put them. People are coming in with fourth-degree burns, some bodies headless and in pieces,” said Dr Kahlout said.
“What else can you expect from air strikes that hit buildings made up of four to six floors?”
Dropping an atomic weapon on Gaza is 'one of the possible options': Israeli Minister
An Israeli minister was slammed after he said Israel could drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza
Speaking to Radio Kol Berama, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu of the far-right Otzma Yehudir party also said he would favor the return of settlements in the enclave while suggesting Palestinians in Gaza to move to “Ireland or deserts”.
In separate remarks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and opposition leader Yair Lapid slammed the minister for his comments.
Amihai Eliyahu, an Israeli minister from the extremist Otzma Yehudit party, said one of Israel’s options in the war in Gaza is to drop a nuclear bomb on the Strip.
Asked whether an atomic bomb should be dropped on Gaza as Israel intensifies attack, the Heritage Minister Eliyahu said “this is one of the possibilities.”
However, he is not part of the security cabinet formed to make wartime decisions, nor does he have any influence to direct the war cabinet's actions against Hamas.
“Amichai Eliyahu’s words are detached from reality,” Netanyahu said. “Israel and the IDF are acting in accordance with the highest standards of international law in order to prevent harm to uninvolved people, and we will continue to do that all the way to victory.”
