The Israeli military has confirmed that it is continuing to target areas across the Gaza Strip with combined land, air and sea assaults, Al Jazeera reports.

It claimed that its air force targeted operational centres, weapons storage facilities, observation posts, and an anti-tank post belonging to Palestinian fighters, and said its navy struck a number of targets along the Gazan coastline.

Avichay Adraee, the military’s spokesman for Arab media, confirmed that heavy fighting is ongoing in Khan Younis in the south, but made no mention of ongoing Israeli attacks on hospitals and shelters in the area, which have forced many Palestinians to be internally displaced once more.
