32 martyred in Israeli strike in Gaza, siege around hospitals tightens: health officials
Israeli planes drop leaflets showing a picture of dead Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar
Gaza (Reuters): Palestinian health officials on Saturday said that Israeli military strikes have martyred at least 32 people across the Gaza Strip as forces tighten a siege around hospitals in Jabalia in the north of the enclave.
In the central Gaza Strip camp of Al-Maghzai, an Israeli strike on a house killed 11 people, while another strike at the nearby camp of Nuseirat killed four others.
Five other people were killed in two separate strikes in the south Gaza cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, medics said, while seven Palestinians were killed in the Shati camp in the northern Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Israeli planes have dropped leaflets over southern Gaza showing a picture of dead Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar with the message that “Hamas will no longer rule Gaza”, echoing language used by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The leaflet, written in Arabic, read, “Whoever drops the weapon and hands over the hostages will be allowed to leave and live in peace”, according to residents of the southern city of Khan Younis and images circulating online
