Palestinian armed groups target Israeli forces along ‘Netzarim Corridor’
Palestinian fighters used mortar shells on Friday to target Israeli paratroopers operating along the Netzarim Corridor – an Israeli-built road that cuts Gaza’s north and south and allows Israel’s troops to deploy rapidly and control the movement of people in the territory.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) and the Critical Threats Project (CTP), two US-based defence think tanks, also said Palestinian fighters fired a “thermobaric rocket” that targeted Israeli soldiers located in a house east of Deir el-Balah on Friday, and mortars were fired at Israeli troops operating in the east of the Bureij refugee camps in central Gaza.
Palestinian fighters also carried out two “indirect fire attacks” on Israel from Gaza on the same day, according to the latest ISW/CTP joint report.

More than 250 killed in five days; Israeli missile targets flour mill as children starve: UN
Between Monday and Friday afternoon, 252 Palestinians were reported killed in Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip and 753 were injured, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in its latest situation report on the Palestinian territory.
Intense Israeli air strikes have targeted the Nuseirat, Bureij and Maghazi refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip, OCHA said.
A World Food Programme warehouse in Deir el-Balah was damaged on Thursday when an Israeli missile hit an adjoining flour mill, forcing the UN’s food agency to temporarily suspend operations at the site.
On the same day, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that nine out of 10 children in Gaza are experiencing severe food poverty, and are surviving on two or fewer food groups each day.
Military operations in Gaza “have significantly destabilized humanitarian aid flows, forcing UN and partners to reorganize the entire operation”, OCHA reports.

On Thursday, an Israeli air attack on a UN-run school sheltering displaced Palestinians in central Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp killed between 35 and 45 people, with large numbers of women and children among the dead, according to local government officials.
