War in Middle East - No end to battles in Gaza Strip in sight
Israel's Military continues, according to its own reports, its deployments in several areas of the Gazan Strip, including the vicinity of the city of Rafah. The troops eliminated numerous terrorists in close combat and air raids, the army stated. In the central coastal region, troops reportedly found a large amount of funds used for terrorist activities. These claims could not be independently verified at first.
According to Palestinian reports, the Israeli army withdrew from the western neighborhoods of Tal al-Hawa and Rimal in the city of Gaza after a week-long deployment. A spokesperson for the civilian defense force controlled by Hamas told the German Press Agency that their teams found 60 bodies there. These claims could not be independently verified at first. Israel's Military declined to comment on the reports.
The army is still in operation at the UNRWA Central in Gaza City. Soldiers reportedly engaged in close combat with terrorists on the site. During the operation, several individuals were reportedly apprehended as they attempted to escape.
Israeli military forces also reportedly found Hamas-used spaces for surveillance and numerous weapons in the UNRWA Central in Gaza City. According to the Military, members of Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have been misusing the UNRWA Central in violation of international law as bases.
Under the site, there is also a tunnel belonging to Hamas. Troops had reportedly discovered this tunnel earlier. These claims could not be independently verified at first. The UNRWA Central has had no regular operation of the aid workers since the start of the conflict.
The Palestinian relief organization estimates that at least 524 displaced persons, who had sought shelter in the organization's facilities, have been killed and at least 1,606 others injured since the start of the conflict. The army reportedly tries to avoid civilian casualties during attacks on buildings according to its own statements.
