Palestinians in Gaza have had to endure an intense bombing campaign in the northern parts, the central area and the city of Khan Younis, where the military headquarters and armoured vehicles of the Israeli military are still based, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Rafah, in the Gaza Strip.

In Khan Younis, the Israeli military is surrounding residential buildings and conducting mass arrests and aggressive searches from building to building in search of Hamas fighters. A statement released by the Israeli military says they’ve arrested almost 250 people they describe as Hamas associates.

But maybe the worst events to happen overnight were repeated air strikes in Deir el-Balah. A residential building full of displaced people was attacked in the city, with at least 11 people killed so far, with more still under the rubble and multiple other injuries reported. The injured were taken to Al-Aqsa Hospital.
