Additional brigade deployed to Khan Younis – IDF
The Jewish state has vowed to end the war launched by Hamas on October 7 by attacking Israel. Israel has destroyed large parts of northern Gaza, while the army has now moved south. The Israeli army said it had deployed additional brigades to Khan Yunis, the home town of Hamas Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar, from where journalists from the AFP news agency have been reporting constant air and artillery attacks.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said about 10 people were killed in shelling near the city’s al-Amal hospital, an area where about 14,000 people are taking shelter. On Thursday, the health ministry of Hamas-run Gaza said shelling on the Shaboura camp in the southern city of Rafah killed 20 people, mostly women and children. Dozens of people have also been injured. Israel has vowed to destroy Hamas in retaliation for the October 7 attack, according to AFP figures based on Israeli data. In fact, about 1,140 Israelis were killed in attacks by Hamas terrorists, most of them civilians.
Demands for the repatriation of Israeli hostages have intensified
Hamas took 250 people hostage during the October 7 attack, more than half of whom are still in captivity. The concern of the families of the hostages is constantly increasing. They protested in Jerusalem and demanded to bring their loved ones back home. According to Hamas-run Gaza’s health ministry, Israel’s continued airstrikes and ground attacks have killed some 21,320 people, most of them women and children. Ashraf al-Qudra, a spokesman for the ministry, said Thursday that the number of attacks in the last 24 hours “reported an additional 200 deaths, including families.”
Israel’s army says 167 of its soldiers have been killed during the battle against Hamas in Gaza. The army says that more than 500 jawans have been killed since October 7. Let us tell you that the Israeli army attacked Hamas in Gaza on Thursday and overran the southern city of Khan Younis, the same area near which thousands of displaced Palestinians have taken refuge. The head of the UN World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has called for “immediate action to reduce the serious risks” facing the people of Gaza, including “catastrophic injuries, acute hunger and … serious risk of disease”.
