Israel District strikes were carried out in the center of Gaza, early on Tuesday, killing at least 20 people, according to a statement from Gaza Rescue men. Local authorities have also reported attacks in Syria and Lebanon, which also claimed a multiple life.
“The number of deaths has reached more than 20 martyrs and about 70 wounded as a result of a series of Israeli raids in the Gaza Strip,” the agency’s spokesman Mahmoud Basal told Massoud Basal to AFP.
The reason was the attack was given “agitationRepeated rejection of issuing our hostages, “according to Israel. Amid the attacks, it also announced the closure of schools in the Gaza Strip.
Israel struck the areas around the Urban Refugee camp in Burij, according to previous reports. One of the strikes targeted a school as a shelter for the displaced Palestinians, killing a 52 -year -old man and his 16 -year -old nephew, according to officials at a hospital near the martyrs.
Another blow killed three men in Burij, where the Israeli army stated that they were trying to grow an explosive apparatus, while a government led by Hamas in Gaza said they were collecting firewood. The Israeli army said its operations targeted the militants who sow explosives.
In addition to the attacks in Gaza, the Israeli air strikes also hit targets in southern Lebanon and Syria, killing at least 10 people, including a child, according to the local authorities. The Israeli army said that the strikes targeted the militants planning the attacks. The escalation came amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon.
Shortly after reporting the attacks by the local authorities, the Israeli army confirmed, in a post on Telegram, that they are “currently” with widespread strikes on the terrorist targets of terrorism in the Gaza Strip, “according to Agence France -Presse.
Before the recent attacks, Israel has banned all foodstuffs, medicine, fuel and other supplies during the past two weeks, asking Hamas to accept the amendments to the ceasefire deal. In fact, the current armistice has witnessed, since mid -January, that the Israeli forces kill dozens of Palestinians, who say the army is approaching its forces or entered restrictions.
The strikes were launched despite the ceasefire in the United States between Israel and Hezbollah, in its place since late November, ending a 14 -month struggle. However, the two sides have repeatedly accused each other of violating the agreement.
Despite the ongoing violence, the first stage of the ceasefire continued, which allowed some hostages to exchange by Hamas for Palestinian prisoners in Israel. The mediators work from Egypt, Qatar and the United States in the next stage of the agreement. Israel wants Hamas to launch half of the remaining hostages in exchange for negotiations on a permanent truce, while Hamas insists on following the terms of the original ceasefire, which calls for talks about the withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza. Hamas is believed to have 24 live hostages and 35 bodies.
The attacks in Syria and Lebanon
In Syria, the air strikes hit a residential area in the southern city of Dara, killing three people and wounding 19 others, including four children, a woman, and three civil defense volunteers, according to the Syrian Civil Defense Agency. The agency stated that two ambulances were also damaged. Other strikes hit military positions near the city. The Israeli army stated that it had targeted the military leadership centers, the sites containing weapons and vehicles belonging to the Assad forces, citing security threats.
Israel has controlled an area in southern Syria since the fall of Autocrat Bashar Assad since December. The Israeli government describes its existence as a protective security measure against the former Islamic rebels now in power, although the Syrian transitional government has not threatened against Israel.
Meanwhile, in Lebanon, Israel said it had struck Hezbollah fighters in the southern town of Yohamor, identifying them as “monitoring agents.” The government news agency in Lebanon reported that two people were killed and two others were injured. The Israeli army later confirmed more strikes on Hezbollah sites in Lebanon, but it did not specify their positions.
