“Since the early hours, Israeli forces have continued to strike across the Gaza Strip. It’s been a deadly 24 hours, especially in Khan Younis, where Israeli forces attacked at least seven houses of different families,” Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary reports from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza Strip.

“This comes during Eid when Palestinians are visiting each other, even though it’s war and the risks are high.

“There has also been endless artillery shelling in the central parts of the Gaza Strip, in Nuseirat, and also in the area very close to the Netzarim Corridor,” she said.

“Explosions have been heard here in Deir el-Balah, and three farmers have been killed in the area. According to the Civil Defence teams and paramedics, it’s very dangerous to go and retrieve their bodies.

“A body of a Palestinian killed in central Gaza’s Maghazi refugee camp was transferred to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital [in Deir el-Balah],” Khoudary said.
