Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip have intensified, especially at dawn, when at least 11 residential buildings were flattened by the Israeli forces, particularly in the cities of Khan Younis, Rafah and Beit Lahiya, according to Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum reporting from Al Aqsa Hospital, central Gaza.

“We understand that the death toll has sharply increased to 71 Palestinians, including newborn babies, children, women and men who had been sleeping.”
