Thousands of Gaza houses destroyed and damaged by Israeli strikes



Today after midnight, IOF expanded its ground invasion in the south of Gaza City. Troops and tanks penetrated the southern Gaza-City neighborhood of Tel al-Hawa and stayed there for hours before withdrawing to the suburbs of al-Zahra town, south to Gaza City. The IOF had dropped thousands of leaflets ordering the residents of Tel al-Hawa to evacuate their homes.

Al Mezan Center, which has maintained its monitoring activities throughout the current crisis, has collected evidence that the Israeli forces deliberately targeted civilian structures and medical teams. In its attacks, the Israeli military used missiles and shells that are laser-guided, which indicates that civilian targets were hit intentionally, and not collaterally as Israel alleges.

IOF’s naval vessels escalated their bombardment of Gaza’s beaches.
