Israeli military confirms attack on ‘humanitarian area’ in Deir el-Balah
The Israeli military has confirmed that its aircraft attacked a “humanitarian area … and near civilian population shelters” because a “Hamas launcher was placed inside” the location in Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.
“Before the attack, many efforts were made to reduce the chance of harming civilians,” the military said in a post on social media, without confirming whether the attacked had, in fact, harmed innocent people.
The military also said Israeli paratroopers took part in battles in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood against Palestinian fighters and destroyed “terrorist infrastructure” above and below ground. Fighter jets were called in to assist ground forces in the operation, including an attack on three Hamas fighters armed with rocket-propelled grenade launchers, the military said in a series of posts on social media.
In southern Rafah city, ground troops and the air force attacked a “terrorist cell”, the military said.
