Amjad Shawa, the head of the Palestinian NGOs Network, reported to Al Jazeera that the situation was “funny” and that people were starting to panic.
“Sixty families have lost their shelters today. Everyone is aware that there is no safe place in the south or any humanitarian zone, but Israel [is] attempting to force Palestinians into southern areas,” Shawa said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the claim that Israel frequently repeats that it is “eliminating terrorist infrastructure and nefarious terrorist high-rises” as it destroys civilian infrastructure in Gaza.
Following an earlier attack on the Al-Ruya Club in central Gaza City, which also claimed the lives of displaced families, tents were also damaged.
The 15-storey Soussi Tower and the 12-storey Mushtaha Tower were both targeted by Israel on Saturday and Friday. Several Palestinians who were sheltered in tent camps close to those towers suffered injuries.
Gaza City’s escalation by Israel
In August, Netanyahu claimed that the security cabinet of Israel had already ordered 100 000 Palestinians to flee Gaza City as a result of the military’s plan to occupy the city.
Palestinians have complained that nowhere in the territory is safe as Israel presses to relocate residents from Gaza City to the south of the border.
Palestinians in Gaza City should not believe Israel’s claim that it has established a humanitarian zone in the al-Mawasi region of Khan Younis, according to a statement from Gaza’s ministry of interior on Sunday.
In a statement, the occupation warns of the lies made by its residents in Gaza City about the existence of a humanitarian safe zone.
In its campaign against Gaza, the Israeli army immediately designated al-Mawasi a “humanitarian zone.” It has since been repeatedly bombed since then.
According to Hani Mahmoud of Al Jazeera, “you can hear the sounds of explosions from all directions in Gaza City, including heavy bombing in the Sabra and Zeitoun neighbourhoods, every five to ten minutes.”
He claimed that Israeli forces are detonating remotely controlled explosive robots in residential areas and destroying neighbourhoods. Homes, public buildings, schools, and a mosque were all hit in Sheikh Radwan, according to Mahmoud.
In an airstrike on the Shati neighborhood in northwest Gaza City, at least six people were killed and several others were hurt, according to emergency services.
In the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, an Israeli drone attack also claimed the lives of two people and injured many more.
At least 65 Palestinians were killed on Sunday in Gaza, according to medical sources.
Since October 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has claimed the lives of at least 64, 368 Palestinians, and 162 776 people, according to Gaza’s health authorities. As famine spreads throughout the region, thousands more are still buried beneath the rubble.
The atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza have been characterized as a genocide by academics, UN experts, and leading human rights organizations.
Donald Trump, the president of the United States, suggested later on Sunday that he make a new proposal to end the Gaza war, calling it a “final warning” for Hamas.
