Palestinians grieve as those killed, including a five-month-old baby, are transferred to al-Shifa Hospital’s morgue after an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip [Saeed MMT Jaras /Anadolu]
(AL-JAZEERA) The Health Ministry in Gaza says at least 105 bodies and 356 wounded people have been brought to hospitals across the besieged enclave over the past 24 hours.
Israeli forces continue to pound Gaza, including attacks on aid seekers and medical clinics, with at least 42 Palestinians killed so far today.
US President Donald Trump says there is a “good chance” that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas could be reached this week.
Citing the report, the Wafa news agency reported Israeli forces have killed 10 Palestinians, detained 404, and carried out 186 demolition and bulldozing operations.
The governorate also documented 33,634 illegal settlers storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound under Israeli police protection. The governorate also said Israel still holds the bodies of 47 Palestinians from East Jerusalem, some for decades.
The report further detailed 143 settler attacks, including 26 physical assaults – one of which led to a death – and 128 injuries from raids.
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), has renewed his call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as momentum gathers around another potential truce.
Lazzarini pointed out that more than 17,000 children, 1,500 healthcare workers, 600 starving Palestinians looking for aid – and a record-breaking 320 UNRWA staff – have been killed by Israel since the start of the war.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces have started carrying out demolitions of Palestinian homes in the al-Murabba’a neighbourhood inside the Tulkarem refugee camp in the occupied West Bank as part of a plan targeting more than 100 residential buildings.
The Popular Committee of Tulkarem Camp told Al Jazeera Israeli bulldozers have started demolishing a number of homes in the camp.
Adalah, the Legal Center for Arab Minority Rights in Israel, confirmed to Al Jazeera that the Israeli Supreme Court had issued a temporary order to freeze demolition operations in the camp but later amended it to allow them to resume if there was an urgent security or military need.The Houthis say they have attacked the vessel Magic Seas in the Red Sea and it is now at risk of sinking.
Since Israel broke the ceasefire with Hamas on March 18, at least 6,964 Palestinians have been killed and more than 24,576 wounded.
