Israeli forces advanced further on Sunday (30) in the Shejaia neighborhood in northern Gaza and also made significant advances in the west and center of Rafah in the south, killing at least six Palestinians and destroying several homes, residents said.
Israeli tanks, which returned to Shejaia four days ago, fired at several houses, leaving families trapped inside and unable to leave, residents said.
Speaking at a weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his stance that there is nothing short of victory in the war against the Islamic militant group Hamas.
“We are committed to fighting until we achieve all of our goals: eliminating Hamas, bringing back all of our hostages, ensuring that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel, and returning our residents safely to their homes in the south and north.” , he said.
While the offensive is focused on Gaza and the Israeli-occupied West Bank, one man was killed and five wounded in an Israeli strike near the town of Tulkarm, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. The dead man was a member of the militant group Islamic Jihad, the group said. The Israeli military declined to comment.
Hours after Netanyahu’s comments about Gaza, Hamas’ armed wing released a video purporting to show the manufacturing of new weapons in defiance of Israel.
The video, which was not immediately verified by Reuters, showed fighters preparing anti-tank rocket warheads. In the background, a large TV screen showed recent news to indicate the video was current.
“Our preparation continues,” read the text at the end of the short video.
The Israeli military said forces operating in Shejaia killed several Palestinian gunmen over the past day and found military infrastructure inside a United Nations school, as well as dozens of weapons and “valuable intelligence documents.”
On Saturday (29), the military announced the death of two Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza.
In another attack in Shejaia, forces located a “terrorist war room” in a clinic, said the military, who again accused Hamas of “blending into civilian structures for terrorist purposes.”
Hamas denies using civilian sites, such as schools and hospitals, for military purposes.
