Israel’s counterattack is richer in massive retaliation. According to the military, a Hamas command post was attacked in the southern Gaza Strip. However, there were said to be numerous families in the tent city.
According to the Islamist Hamas, more than 100 people were killed in an Israeli attack on tent shelters for displaced Palestinians. The attack took place in the Khan Yunis area in the southern Gaza Strip, according to the press service of the Hamas-led government in Gaza. The message spoke of a “terrible massacre”. Disaster relief workers were also among the victims.
Israel claims the attack targeted Islamist leaders, particularly military leader Mohammed Deif. It is unclear whether he was killed, Israeli military radio reported.
“Targeted” attack according to Israel
Israeli media reported that dozens of the dead were Hamas terrorists who were part of the security system. The army said the attack was “targeted” and had taken a long time to prepare. The Israeli army said there were no hostages in the area.
At least 71 Palestinians were killed and 289 others wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The Israeli military said it was verifying the information.
Further progress also in Gaza City
The Israeli military said on Saturday that it was continuing its operations in the city of Gaza. “In cooperation with the air force, the soldiers eliminated several terrorists yesterday,” the army said on Saturday. In the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, “numerous tunnel entrances” were destroyed and Hamas fighters were also killed. The air force also targeted a warehouse.
The destruction of the coastal strip is dramatic:
Paragliders used in Hamas’s major attack on Israel on October 7 were stored there. An AFP correspondent reported artillery fire in southeastern Gaza and in the city center on Saturday. The Tel al-Hawa district was reportedly targeted by drones.
Witnesses reported Friday that Israeli troops were withdrawing from some Gaza neighborhoods. Civil defense in the Hamas-controlled Palestinian territory said about 60 bodies were found there after a two-week Israeli offensive. The Israeli military said it had killed “more than 150 terrorists.”
