Gaza: Israeli incursion north of Nuseirat, raids target mosque and homes, resulting in deaths and injuries

On Monday, Israeli army vehicles and tanks made a limited incursion northeast of the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, while its aircraft launched raids on a mosque, homes and lands, killing 11 Palestinians and wounding others.

Eyewitnesses told the Anadolu Agency correspondent that "active movement of occupation vehicles north of the central governorate was monitored, coinciding with heavy gunfire and artillery shelling."

They added that this was followed by "a limited incursion by Israeli vehicles and tanks on Salah al-Din Street near the entrance to the power station northeast of al-Nuseirat camp, amidst intense gunfire towards citizens' homes and lands, in conjunction with violent artillery shelling."

According to eyewitnesses, "Israeli helicopters fired heavily at the northern areas of the Nuseirat and Bureij camps, with artillery shells being fired from time to time."

The spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense Authority in Gaza, Mahmoud Basal, said in a statement, "A citizen was killed and others were seriously injured as a result of an Israeli bombardment of a house belonging to the Al-Louh family in the Al-Da'wa area in the Al-Nuseirat camp."

Late Sunday night, Israeli warplanes bombed the home of the Abu Huwaishel family on Al-Da'wa Street, north of Al-Nuseirat camp, killing 5 Palestinians and wounding others, according to what paramedics told the Anadolu Agency correspondent.

Four Palestinians were also killed in an Israeli bombardment that targeted a house belonging to the Hijab family in the Al-Bureij camp (central), according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.

Destruction of a mosque

In Gaza City, Israeli warplanes destroyed the "Saeed Siam Mosque" in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood (north), which resulted in the injury of a number of Palestinians living nearby, according to a medical source.

Eyewitnesses told the Anadolu Agency correspondent that "Israeli helicopters and vehicles fired machine guns at citizens' homes in the vicinity of the southern intersection of the Zeitoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City."

In the northern Gaza Strip, sounds of clashes, gunfire and shells from Israeli gunboats were heard in the western areas of the town of Beit Lahia, according to eyewitnesses.

Artillery shelling

In the southern Gaza Strip, a Palestinian woman was killed and others were wounded by Israeli artillery shelling in the Al-Farahin area east of Khan Yunis, according to medical sources and eyewitnesses.

The northeastern areas of Khan Yunis have been subjected to continuous Israeli artillery shelling since the early hours of the morning.

Local sources told the Anadolu Agency correspondent: "Very violent explosions were heard as a result of the Israeli army blowing up residential buildings west of Rafah city (south)."

She added that "Israeli vehicles opened fire randomly on the tents of the displaced in the Mawasi area of Rafah."

The Israeli army continues to blow up buildings and residential areas in Rafah and the Zeitoun neighborhood, as part of ongoing ground military operations.

With American support, Israel has been waging a war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in more than 135,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children.

In contempt of the international community, Tel Aviv continues the war, ignoring the UN Security Council resolutions calling for an immediate halt to it, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and to improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Israel is also defying a request by the International Criminal Court’s Prosecutor Karim Khan to issue arrest warrants for its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant for their responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Tel Aviv has turned the Gaza Strip into the largest prison in the world, as it has been besieging it for the 18th year, and its war has forced about two million of its citizens, numbering about 2.3 million Palestinians, to flee in miserable conditions, with a severe and deliberate shortage of food, water and medicine.
