The Israeli leaflets urge civilians to head south along two routes to the central Gaza Strip.
CAIRO - An Israeli missile slammed into a tent encampment in southern Gaza just as displaced people had gathered to watch a football match at a school, eyewitnesses said on July 10.
“Everything was normal. People were playing, others were buying and selling . There was no sound of planes or anything,” she said. “The schools were overcrowded with people and the street was full too, suddenly a missile hit and destroyed the whole place,” said Ms Asmaa Qudeih, who lost some relatives in the attack.Israeli forces continued to press their offensive in north and central Gaza on July 10, and deepened their incursion into two Gaza City districts. Soldiers carried out house-to-house searches in some areas and tanks shelled several homes, according to residents.
The city, home to more than a quarter of Gaza’s population before the war, was destroyed by an Israeli assault in the first weeks of fighting last year, but hundreds of thousands of Gazans are believed to have returned to the ruins in recent months. “After a defined corridor was opened to facilitate the evacuation of civilians from the area, IDF troops conducted a targeted raid on the structure, eliminated terrorists in close-quarters combat, and located large amounts of weapons in the area,” the military said.The Palestinian Red Crescent said it had received dozens of desperate calls from residents in Gaza City trapped in their homes, but its teams had been unable to reach them because of the intensity of the bombing.
The Israeli military announced that one of its soldiers was killed in fighting on July 9 in central Gaza. The Israeli military has published the names of 681 military personnel killed in the Oct 7 attacks and subsequent fighting.
