At least ten people, including women and children, were killed in new Israeli air strikes that hit the Burej and Nuseirat refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip last night.This was reported by the Anadolu agency, according to which journalist Moatasem Ghorab lost his life in the bombings, making him the one hundred and sixty-second journalist to lose his life since the beginning of the conflict triggered by the Hamas attack on October 7.
The Israeli army, for its part, reported in a statement that it had “carried out selective operations against multiple military facilities” in the center of the Strip where “various types of weapons” had been found, and that it had discovered new “terrorist infrastructure” in the Rafah area, south of the Palestinian territory, where an “armed cell” that had confronted Tel Aviv’s troops was reportedly eliminated. The Israeli armed forces also reported that they had located and dismantled “terrorist tunnels and underground infrastructure” in the Tal al Sultan area, near Rafah.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected in Washington tomorrow, where he will address a joint session of the U.S. Congress without yet having accepted the proposed U.S.-brokered truce with Hamas that would allow the release of the hostages, as requested by their families.
