Gaza’s Civil Defense announced that over 40 Palestinians were killed on Saturday in an Israeli airstrike targeting a home sheltering more than 100 displaced individuals in the Tel al-Zaatar area, north of the Gaza Strip.
The department noted that a significant number of victims remain buried under the rubble, with rescue efforts hampered by a lack of Civil Defense teams and medical personnel in northern Gaza.
Similar devastation was reported in Jabalia and Beit Lahia, where dozens of victims have been trapped under the ruins of their homes for two days.
In Gaza City’s al-Nasr neighborhood, an Israeli strike on a home housing displaced families near the Italian Complex resulted in one martyr and multiple injuries.
These incidents occur as Israeli forces intensify their bombardment of residential areas in northern Gaza.
Meanwhile, an Al Mayadeen correspondent in Gaza reported the martyrdom of journalist Mamdouh Qunayta of Al Aqsa TV, who was killed by an Israeli drone strike while at Al-Mamdani Hospital.

Ongoing ethnic cleansing
Moshe Ya’alon a former Israeli minister of security has said that “Israel” is currently carrying out ethnic cleansing in the northern Gaza Strip, effectively purging the area of Arabs.
Speaking on Democrat TV, Ya’alon asked, “Who is for separation (from the Palestinian territories)? This has nothing to do with the right or left. Separation means a state that is not bi-national, not an apartheid state, and perhaps, according to the direction they are leading us now, heading toward occupation, annexation, and ethnic cleansing.”
He added, “Those who want us to make a mistake are leading us to destruction, and nothing less than that. (Did you say we are heading toward ethnic cleansing in Gaza?) Why are we heading there? What’s happening there? There is no Beit Lahia, no Beit Hanoun, and now they are working in Jabalia, and in reality, they are cleansing the area of Arabs.”
Last month, Israeli media reported a plan to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza and eliminate any Palestinians who remain there.
Israeli reserve soldiers stationed in Gaza informed Haaretz they believe the “Generals’ Plan” also known as the “Eiland Plan” is being put into action.
“The goal is to give the residents who live north of the Netzarim area a deadline to move to the south of the Strip. After this date, whoever will remain in the north will be considered an enemy and will be killed,” a soldier stationed in the Netzarim Corridor was quoted as saying.
