GAZA STRIP: Explosions, air strikes and gunfire rattled northern Gaza on Saturday (Jun 29), the third day of an Israeli military operation that has uprooted tens of thousands of Palestinians
An AFP correspondent reported explosions from the Shujaiya area near Gaza City, and a resident said bodies were seen on the streets.
It said"dozens of terrorists" were killed and weapons, drones and observation posts were found, as well as a long-range rocket launcher and tunnel shafts. The war started with Hamas's October 7 attack on southern Israel which resulted in the deaths of 1,195 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed at least 37,834 people, also mostly civilians, according to data from the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.
The United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA estimated that"about 60,000 to 80,000 people were displaced" from the area this week. Elsewhere, Gaza's civil defence agency on Saturday said four bodies were pulled from an apartment after an Israeli strike in the central region.Related:Tarek Qandeel, director of the medical centre in Al-Maghazi, central Gaza, said it was seriously damaged when a neighbouring house was bombed, making it the latest Gaza medical facility affected by the war.
But it added such a move would lead to an"obliterating" war that could involve"all resistance fronts", a reference to Iran-backed groups in the region.
