ISRAELI OCCUPIED AND STARVED GAZA, 22 Nov. - (ANA) - Israeli airstrikes killed five people and wounded 18 others in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday, local health authorities said, bringing the total number of killed since Wednesday to at least 30.

 

Medics said that one strike on a house in Bani Suhaila town east of Khan Younis killed three people, including a baby girl, and wounded 15 others, while another killed a man and wounded three others in the nearby Abassan town. Later on Thursday, Nasser Hospital officials said a fifth Palestinian was killed by Israeli gunfire in Abassan town too.

 

On Wednesday, Israel said it struck targets across the enclave after members of the Palestinian group fired on its troops, and Gaza medics said at least 25 people were killed, the highest toll since October 29, when at least 100 people were killed.

 

Hamas called the attacks a dangerous escalation and urged Arab mediators, Turkey and the United States, which brokered the ceasefire, to intervene.

 

In a statement later on Thursday, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem accused Israel of changing markings that define areas Israel still occupies, in violation of the agreed-upon maps, which keeps Israel in control of over 50% of the enclave's areas.   

 

 

 

 

The spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says he’s deeply concerned about ongoing Israeli attacks that killed 33 Palestinians over the last few hours.

 

"It’s not for us, given our lack of participation as a guarantor, to say the ceasefire is holding or not holding … Our concern is the fragility of the ceasefire," Stephane Dujarric said.

 

"People are getting killed – Palestinians are getting killed – and that needs to stop."

 

Dujarric said the main focus now is getting crucial humanitarian relief to the suffering people of Gaza after two years of war.- (ANA) -
