Three people are killed in a new attack on an UNRWA school. There have now been more than 36,700 deaths in the eight months of the offensive, including more than 15,500 children. Today the UN included Israel on its ‘blacklist’ of countries and entities accused of harming children in conflict zones.
He Israeli army already covers the entire ‘Philadelphia corridor’, as the 14 kilometers are called border that separates the Gaza Strip from Egyptafter his forces have reached the Mediterranean coast along that line.
The Israeli military announced last week that it now had “operational control” of the entire dividing line, with the exception of a small section near the coast, although it controlled the area with surveillance and firepower.
The agencies confirm, citing residents, that Israeli tanks have arrived in the Al Izba area, in the far southwest of Rafah, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, as also revealed by a viral photo circulating in Palestinian media and networks .
For Israel, controlling that border – where they claim to have found at least 20 tunnels – is very important because it believes this is the main source of arms smuggling, which for years has served to bring in Hamas weapons.
New attacks
Palestinian medical sources reported that at least two Palestinians were killed today in shelling in the west of the city, around the Saudi neighborhood, where Israel has not issued any evacuation orders.
In addition, three more people were killed and seven others injured in a new Israeli attack on a UNRWA school in the Shati camp, near Gaza City. This means that 150 UNRWA schools (used as shelters for displaced persons) have already been attacked by Israel.
This attack takes place the day after the Israeli aviation launch three rockets against an UNRWA school in the Nuseirat camp, in the center of the Strip, killing about 40 people, including 14 minors.
Israel is on a UN blacklist
Precisely, United Nations decided this Friday to fire the army of Israel in a ‘black list’ of countries and entities accused of harming children in conflict area.
This has been confirmed by Israel’s representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, who declares himself “absolutely shocked and disgusted” by the “immoral” decision of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that “the UN today blacklisted itself from history by joining the supporters of the Hamas killers. most moral army in the world and no crazy UN decision will change that.”
More than 250 Palestinians have been killed and 750 injured since Monday, most in heavy attacks in the central area. And in eight months of the offensive, which ends today, deaths in Gaza have risen to 36,731 – including more than 15,500 children – and 83,530 have been injured, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.
