Reports from central Gaza indicate that a recent Israeli military operation in the areas of Nuseirat, Deir al-Balah, and al-Zawaideh has resulted in a significant loss of life. According to eyewitnesses on the ground, at least 45 people have been killed in the operation, with dozens more sustaining injuries.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs hospital in Deir al-Balah has been inundated with casualties, as injured individuals continue to arrive for medical treatment. The hospital spokesperson has noted that the number of injured is so high that it is challenging to provide an exact count at this time.
Israel has stated that the military operation was aimed at targeting 'terrorist infrastructure' in the Nuseirat area. Prior to this announcement, Israeli forces reportedly conducted a rescue operation that resulted in the liberation of four hostages in the same region.
The situation in central Gaza remains tense as the aftermath of the military operation unfolds. The loss of life and the high number of injuries underscore the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in the region, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence.
International observers and humanitarian organizations are closely monitoring the situation in Gaza and calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities to prevent further loss of life and alleviate the suffering of those affected by the conflict.
