PALESTINIAN Territories – A deadly strike hit a school turned shelter in southern Gaza on Tuesday as Israeli forces in the war-ravaged territory’s main city pushed on with a major offensive that has again displaced Palestinians.
In the northern Gaza Strip, Israeli troops, tanks and fighter jets swooped on Gaza City on the eve of new contacts in Qatar aiming for an eventual hostage-prisoner exchange and a truce in the war, raging into its 10th month. Hamas’s armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades, described the latest fighting in Gaza City as “the most intense in months”.
Residents told AFP they saw helicopter strikes, “explosions, and numerous gun battles” in the city’s southwest. Thousands were seen marching down dusty roads past bombed-out buildings, with mothers carrying babies and others packing belongings onto donkey carts. Yussef Jaber, 24, said there was hardly any food left in northern Gaza, lamenting “a life of shame and humiliation”.
The militants seized 251 hostages, 116 of whom remain in Gaza, including 42 the military says are dead.
