GAZA: Zionist forces sent tanks into the western side of Gaza’s Nuseirat camp on Monday in a new incursion into the enclave’s central area, and Palestinian medics said Zionist military strikes had killed at least 30 people since Sunday night. Residents said Zionist tanks opened fire as they rolled into that sector of the camp, one of the Gaza Strip’s eight historic refugee sites, causing panic among the population and displaced families.

One resident, Zaik Mohammad, said the tanks’ advance was a complete surprise. “Some people couldn’t leave and remained trapped inside their homes, appealing to be allowed out, while others rushed out with whatever they could carry as they fled,” Mohammad, 25, who lives one kilometer away from the targeted area, told Reuters. Palestinian and United Nations officials say there are no safe areas in the enclave, home to more than 2.1 million people and now largely in ruins.

With the war in Gaza now in its 14th month, the Zionist entity is focusing its operations in the north and center. Tens of thousands of Palestinian residents have been told to evacuate the areas, fueling fears that they may never be allowed to return. In attacks overnight and into Monday, health officials at Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat said 20 people were killed in a series of strikes from air and the ground, one that hit a tent encampment.

In the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahia, medics said four people were killed in a Zionist airstrike. Others were killed in Zionist airstrikes in Gaza City. At Kamal Adwan Hospital near Beit Lahia, medics said Zionist fire from a drone wounded three medical workers in the facility. Zionist forces have besieged the three hospitals in and around Jabalia for several weeks and hospital officials have refused orders to evacuate the facilities or leave their patients unattended despite the lack of food, medical, and fuel supplies. — Reuters
