Despite promises to minimize military operations in Gaza and only to perform ‘defensive’ operations, Israel carried out dozens of heavy bombings in the area in the night from Friday to Saturday. That is what Mahmoud Bassal, spokesperson for the fire brigade in Gaza, told AFP news agency.
The Israeli army still surrounds Gaza city, writes Avichay Adraee, a spokesperson for the Israeli armed forces, in a Message on X. Adraee warns in Arabic that the north of Gaza is still a “dangerous combat zone”. He calls on Gazanen not to return to Gaza City and from the neighborhood the stay of staff of the Israeli army.
“The night was very violent,” says spokesperson Bassal. According to the fire service, which falls under the Hamas government in the area, Israel performed dozens of air strikes and artillery shoots at Gaza City in the night from Friday to Saturday. Twenty homes would have been destroyed.
On Friday evening, Hamas said that he would largely agree with the peace proposal of US President Donald Trump. Israel had already agreed to that proposal. After Hamas’ benevolent reaction, Trump called on “immediately stop” with bombing Gaza.
Two hospitals in Gaza reported new victims on Saturday, writes ANP news agency. In Gaza City, at least four people were killed in an attack on a home. According to a hospital in Khan Younis, Israel also carried out a drone attack on a tent in a refugee camp. Two children were killed in that attack, and eight people were injured.
