Israeli military vehicles are reportedly moving north of Nuseirat, in central Gaza, coinciding with violent artillery shelling and smoke shells.

The United Nations said that the Israeli attacks on residential areas in the Gaza Strip since October 7 left 39 million tons of rubble.

The Israeli army said it monitored the launch of a ‘suspicious object’ from Gaza, which landed in southern Israel, as Hezbollah announced an attack on Metulla.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 37,396 Palestinians have been killed, and 85,523 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
