Residential buildings hit across the enclave as UN accuses Israel of denying 82 bids to deliver aid to Gaza’s north.
The Israeli military has targeted residential buildings, public facilities and infrastructure across the Gaza Strip, killing at least nine members of a family in the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Reporting from central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud said on Thursday that Israeli ground forces were conducting a military operation seeking to expand the Netzarim Corridor – a 6.5km (4-mile) stretch established in the centre of the enclave by the Israeli military that divides northern and southern Gaza.
“In doing so, it carries out these attacks to destroy remaining residential buildings … that the Israeli military claims are being used as observation points by Palestinian fighters,” Mahmoud reported, adding that witnesses said there were large numbers of civilians inside these homes.
In northern Gaza, Israeli jets carried out air raids, targeting the remaining residential buildings in the town of Beit Lahiya, killing at least four people, Mahmoud said.
