The Israeli army called on Palestinian citizens and displaced persons in the Beit Hanoun area and the Al-Manshiya and Sheikh Zayed neighborhoods in the northern Gaza Strip to evacuate and head to Gaza City.

Several Palestinian citizens were injured as a result of Israeli artillery shelling that targeted the Al-Matahen area, south of Deir al-Balah city, in the central Gaza Strip.

An Iranian commander said that choosing Sinwar as a successor to Ismail Haniyeh means that the Zionist entity will have no hope for its future.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health,  39,677 Palestinians have been killed, and 91,645 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
