Five citizens, including women and children, were killed and others injured when Israeli warplanes hit a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Masha’ala neighbourhood, southwest of Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza, WAFA news agency reported.

Another woman was killed and others injured in the occupation army's bombing of an apartment belonging to the Al-Ghafri family near Al-Yarmouk Mosque in Gaza City.

In southern Gaza, the Israeli army demolished residential buildings in the Al-Mawasi coastal area, west of Rafah city.

According to Al Jazeera, a Palestinian was killed in a strike targeting a tent sheltering displaced people west of Khan Younis.

Israel has killed at least 44,664 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 105,976 others since it launched its genocidal war on Gaza on 7 October 2023.

Thousands of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, with rescue and ambulance teams unable to reach them.

Resistance continues
 

An Israeli lieutenant in the armoured corps was killed during continuous battles between the Palestinian resistance fighters and Israeli forces across Gaza, the Israeli Army Radio said, citing a military source.

At least 780 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the Gaza war began, according to the Israeli figures published in early November.

In the occupied West Bank, an Israeli soldier was seriously wounded in a car-ramming attack near the southern Al-Fawwar refugee camp, Israel's military said.

This comes as the occupation forces continued their violent raids and arrests in several of the West Bank's cities on Sunday.

Israeli forces have also detained two young men in Ramallah and launched a search campaign in the homes of citizens in Nablus.

Additionally, the Israeli troops have closed the entrances to the village of Haris, northwest of Salfit.

Israel has detained at least 11,900 Palestinians from the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, since the start of the war on Gaza.
