The Government Media Office in Gaza has said the Israeli military stormed “the new camp” in Nuseirat with more than 17 military vehicles, dozens of soldiers and jets, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement on Telegram, the office said the army killed and wounded more than 50 people — all civilians, including children and women — in the camp in central Gaza, while also demolishing more than 20 housing units.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the barbaric aggression committed by the ‘Israeli’ occupation army against the new camp area in Nuseirat,” it said, calling the military’s actions a “crime of genocide”.

It added: “We call on all the world to condemn these complex crimes committed by the occupation against our Palestinian people.”
