New Israeli airstrikes in Gaza humanitarian zone and elsewhere kill at least 26

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

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

Hamas added in a statement

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 Katzforeign 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

We don't want aid, we want the war to stop. Enough with the bloodshed! Enough

said Khalil Abu Warda, another relative

Around me there's nothing but rubble and destruction. People don't know what to do, don't know where to go. And they don't know how to survive,

said Jonathan Whittall, a U.N. aid official in a video released after he visited the Indonesian Hospital in north Gaza

Israel Katzforeign minister

I call on Gaza's residents to rise up against the murderous Hamas group, which also uses you as human shields, and to bring about the release of the hostages, to prevent suffering and end the war,

Katz said

Israel Katzforeign minister

The IDF will intensify its activities against the terrorist nests in Gaza until the release of the hostages and the elimination of Hamas,

Katz warned during a visit to the southern Israeli city of Netivot

This is an early warning. Terror groups are again firing rockets from this area, which has been warned several times in the past. For your safety, immediately move to the humanitarian zone,

the IDF notice read

Air Force aircraft and control rooms are in direct contact with the fighting [ground] forces and support the fighting in the various sectors,

the statement continued

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

said a relative, Yuval Haran

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

said Umm Adham Shaheen, who is displaced from Gaza City

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 amid 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,

Abu Azzoum said

Two days ago, they bombed Al-Wafaa hospital, which is behind us, and the shrapnel dropped here,

Darabieh said

The New Year arrives in Gaza, not with joy or hope, but with the boom of fighter jets, drones, and eardrum-shattering explosion sounds,

said Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza

Fifteen people were martyred and more than 20 were injured in a massacre after midnight in a house where displaced people were living in the town of Jabalia,

Gaza civil defence agency’s spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said
