At least 90 people were killed in several Israeli attacks in Gaza during the early hours of Wednesday (2), while the war in the enclave shows no let-up.
In Khan Younis, at least 51 people were killed and dozens were injured in an Israeli attack overnight, the Gaza Health Ministry said.
“Several victims are still under the rubble and on the roads,” the ministry said, adding that “ambulances and civil defense teams are unable to reach them.”
A member of the Gaza Civil Defense said that the Israeli attacks began on Tuesday (1st) in an area “where hundreds of displaced people were taking shelter” and teams were facing difficulties in recovery missions due to a lack of equipment.
THE CNN contacted the Israeli military for comment on the attack on Khan Younis.
In Gaza City, the Israeli military claimed to have carried out attacks on two schools. At least 21 people were killed in attacks on places where Palestinians were sheltering, many of them children, said Civil Defense and a medical source at Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City.
The military said it carried out “precise” strikes and targeted “Hamas command and control centers” within “complexes that previously served” as schools in Gaza City.
In a separate incident in Gaza City, Civil Defense and Al Ahli Hospital said four people died, including two children.
Israeli artillery shelling south of Wadi Gaza, near Netzarim, killed 14 people overnight, and airstrikes on Nuseirat in central Gaza killed six people, according to Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital.
THE CNN has contacted the Israeli military for comment. Previously, they had said that “troops identified dozens of suspects moving toward them” and “posing an immediate threat to them.” The soldiers opened fire on the suspects and “the hits were identified”.
The attacks come less than 24 hours after Hamas ally Iran launched hundreds of missiles at Israel’s largest city, Tel Aviv.
Understand the scale of Middle East conflicts
Iran’s missile attack on Israel on the 1st marked a new stage in the regional conflict in the Middle East.
On one side of the war is Israel, with support from the United States. On the other, the Axis of Resistance, which receives financial and military support from Iran and which has a series of paramilitary groups.
There are seven conflict fronts currently open: the Islamic Republic of Iran; Hamas, in the Gaza Strip; Hezbollah, in Lebanon; the Syrian government and the militias operating in the country; the Houthis, in Yemen; Shia groups in Iraq; and different militant organizations in the West Bank.
Israel has soldiers on three of these fronts: Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. In the other four, it carries out aerial bombings.
The Israeli Army began a “limited ground operation” in Lebanon on September 30, days after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a bombing of the group’s headquarters in the Beirut suburb.
The Israel Defense Forces say they have killed virtually the entire Hezbollah chain of command in similar bombings carried out in recent weeks.
On September 23, Lebanon had its deadliest day since the 2006 war, with more than 500 fatalities.
At least two Brazilian teenagers died in the attacks. Itamaraty condemned the situation and called for an end to hostilities.
With the increase in hostilities, the Brazilian government announced an operation to repatriate Brazilians in Lebanon.
In the West Bank, the Israeli military is trying to dismantle groups opposed to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory.
In the Gaza Strip, Israel seeks to eradicate Hamas, responsible for the October 7 attack that left more than 1,200 people dead, according to information from the Israeli government. The Israeli operation killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, according to the enclave’s Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar remains hidden in tunnels in the Gaza Strip, where dozens of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas are also believed to be in captivity.
