Israeli attacks on Gaza City kill at least 17 Palestinians

ISRAELI forces continued their killing spree in Gaza today as they attacked Palestinians sheltering in schools, tents and homes, killing at least 17 people.

 

The school was where displaced Palestinians were attacked as they were sleeping. They had been sheltering there for months.

 

Two Palestinian children were killed in the tent that was targeted in an area close to Gaza City’s legislative council in Gaza City, an area now reduced to a makeshift camp.

 

Most Palestinian families have been repeatedly displaced in the nearly two-year-long war and say they have nowhere left to go.

 

The Israeli military has previously bombed tent encampments designated as humanitarian zones.

 

Nadia Marouf fled Israel’s attacks in the north with her children and sought shelter in Gaza City.

 

Her tent was destroyed on Saturday by an Israeli air attack that wiped out the al-Sousi 15-storey Tower in Gaza City and a surrounding encampment.

 

She said: "There is no safe tent, no safe house, no safe place, no safety at all.

 

"Where do I go? We went to the south, there is no space in the south, where can we go?”

 

Israeli military spokesperson Avichay Adraee called on Palestinians to flee to southern Gaza, announcing on social media that the army had redrawn the borders of a humanitarian zone to encompass the overcrowded encampment of Muwasi and parts of the southern city of Khan Younis.

 

But Mustafa al-Jamal, a resident in Gaza City, said: “Where can we go? We have no money, no tents, no house, no food — I have 15 family members, where am I supposed to take them?” 

 

Protests to demand a ceasefire in Gaza continued across the world over the weekend.

 

Cities in southern Morocco, including Fez, Ouarzazate, Agadir and Guelmim, saw huge protests on Saturday.

 

In Stockholm, hundreds of demonstrators gathered at Odenplan Square to demand that the Swedish government take immediate action to stop Israel’s war crimes in Gaza.

 

In Paris, thousands of protesters gathered in the Place de la Republique, waving Palestinian flags, demanding an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

 

Meanwhile, a drone launched from Yemen hit Israel’s Ramon International airport near the southern city of Eilat on Sunday, closing the airspace over southern Israel and halting flights, according to the Israeli military.

 

Two people were reportedly injured by the attacks.

 

Nasruddin Amer, deputy head of the Houthi media office, hailed the attack on social media, calling it “a unique, qualitative military operation.”

 

“Enemy airports are unsafe and foreigners must leave them for their own safety.”
