At least 30 people killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza as stalled ceasefire talks set to resume

Hassam Shahwan was responsible for developing intelligence assessments in co-ordination with elements of Hamas's military wing in attacks on the IDF in the Gaza Strip,

it alleged, without mentioning Salah

When we woke up... we were shocked to find that the rain had flooded [our tent], causing us to be submerged in sewage,

Moataz Abu Hatab told BBC Arabic's Gaza Today programme

I woke up to the sound of the explosion. I called my three sleeping sons, but no-one answered. They were martyred immediately,

he told AFP news agency

Then we saw a very strong [explosion]. It caused an earthquake in the neighbourhood. The shrapnel reached as far as 100m [330ft], they say,

she told Reuters news agency

Some of those kitchens close because they don't receive aid, and others distribute little amounts of food and it's not enough,

said Umm Adham Shaheen, displaced from Gaza City

Until they return, we will not really be able to move on,

said a relative, Yuval Haran

There are catastrophic human and material losses, yet this aggressive, brutal Israeli aggression against all of Gaza continues,

the PCBS report said

In the West Bank, the Israeli occupation continued its aggression, as 835 citizens were martyred and 6,450 others were injured as a result of the attacks by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers,

the report said

As the year begins, we got reports of yet another attack on al-Mawasi with dozens of people killed, another reminder that there is no humanitarian zone let alone a safe zone [in Gaza],

he said

Where did we find him? Where else, but of course hiding in the humanitarian zone in Khan Younis, where Gazans are sheltering from this war,

Mencer said

Everyone was taking shelter in their tents from the cold, and suddenly we found the world turning upside down. Why, and for what

said Ziyad Abu Jabal, displaced from Gaza City, after the strike in the seaside humanitarian zone known as Muwasi

The Head of Hamas Internal Security Forces in southern Gaza, the terrorist Hassam Shahwan, was eliminated by the IAF in an intelligence-based strike in the Humanitarian Area in Khan Yunis.”

In their statement, posted on microblogging platform X, the IDF said

The police force is a civil protection force that works to provide services to citizens,

the ministry statement said

About 10 tents were damaged, and scattered fires were visible,

he said

Eleven people were martyred, including three children and two women, and 15 were injured after the occupation aircraft bombed a tent housing displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip,

Gaza’s civil defence agency said in a statement

Israel Katzdefense Minister

I want to send a clear message from here to the heads of the terrorists in Gaza: If Hamas does not soon allow the release of the Israeli hostages from Gaza ... and continues firing at Israeli communities, it will face blows of an intensity not seen in Gaza for a long time,

Defense Minister Israel Katz said

By committing the crime of assassinating the director general of police in the Gaza Strip, the occupation is insisting on spreading chaos in the [enclave] and deepening the human suffering of citizens,

it added in a statement

Major General Mahmoud Salah, director-general of the Gaza police force, and Hassam Shahwan, a senior official at Hamas' interior authorities, were among the deaths,

according to the ministry

Are you celebrating? Enjoy as we die. For a year and a half, we have been dying,

said a man carrying the body of a child in the flashing lights of emergency vehicles

It’s not just Israeli bombs and the forced displacement that are overwhelming Palestinians, but also the severe cold weather. Many of them are in tents, lacking warm winter clothing, and they are trying to cope with it all by resorting to primitive means of heating,
