Israel carried out its heaviest airstrikes in Gaza in weeks, killing 26 people, according to local health authorities, in attacks on a Hamas-run police station and on apartments and tents in an area sheltering displaced Palestinians.
Despite the tenuous ceasefire agreed between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, Israeli warplanes targeted the Sheikh Radwan police station west of Gaza City, killing 10 officers and detainees, medics and police said.
Rescue teams were searching for more casualties at the site, said the police, who are run by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Another airstrike hit an apartment in Gaza City killing three children and two women, according to officials at Shifa hospital in the city. Seven more were killed in a strike at a tent encampment in Khan Younis further south.

Palestinians have described these strikes as the heaviest since the second phase of the ceasefire, brokered by President Trump in October, came into effect earlier this month.
ReplyDeleteThe Israeli military confirmed that a number of strikes were carried out in response to what it said was a Hamas violation of the agreement on Friday.
The series of strikes also came a day before the Rafah crossing along the border with Egypt is set to open in Gaza’s southernmost city. All of the territory’s border crossings have been closed throughout almost the entire war. Palestinians see Rafah as a lifeline for the tens of thousands in need of treatment outside the territory, where the majority of medical infrastructure has been destroyed.
ReplyDeleteAu moins 26 personnes, dont des enfants, sont mortes samedi dans des bombardements israéliens sur la bande de Gaza, les plus intenses depuis de nombreuses semaines, ont déclaré les autorités sanitaires palestiniennes, alors qu'un cessez-le-feu est censé être en vigueur dans le territoire côtier.
ReplyDeleteSelon une source militaire israélienne, ces bombardements font suite à un incident survenu vendredi, au cours duquel des soldats israéliens ont repéré huit hommes armés sortant d'un tunnel à Rafah, dans le sud de la bande de Gaza à la frontière avec l'Égypte. Trois de ces hommes ont été tués et un quatrième, présenté par l'armée israélienne comme un responsable du Hamas dans ce secteur, a été arrêté.
