Al Jazeera correspondent Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Rafah, says since the passing of the Security Council resolution on Friday, he has seen a surge in the aerial bombardment in central Gaza.

“Overnight, more residential areas in Deir al-Balah city, where people from places such as Bureij and Nuseirat refugee camps were ordered to evacuate, came under heavy bombardment, destroying homes,” he said.

“As of now, the search for people under the rubble is ongoing,” Hani said.

“Along the eastern side of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military continued conducting its aggressive razing of agricultural lands and destroying homes in eastern Khan Younis and eastern Gaza City, including in the Shujaiya and Az-Zeitoun neighbourhoods,” he said.
