The Secretary -General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, expressed his deep sorrow and shocking him of strikes that affected the United Nations buildings in Gaza.

Separation of the northern Gaza Strip from its south

The Israeli occupation tanks penetrated in the center of the Gaza Strip today, and separated the northern Gaza Strip from its south, to restore their control of the so -called “Natsarim” axis, and prevent the movement of the Palestinians between the northern and southern Gaza Strip.

In the same context, 18 Palestinians were killed and a number of others were wounded in Israeli bombing this evening, targeting the northern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian medical sources reported that 14 Palestinians were martyred in an Israeli air strike targeting a gathering of Palestinians in the city of Beit Lahia, while four others were martyred in the occupation bombing a house in the city of Beit Hanoun, accompanied by artillery shelling and heavy gunfire towards the northern and eastern areas of the Strip.
