Ismail Al-Thawabta said an Israeli attack on homes in Al-Shati, one of the eight long-standing refugee camps in the Gaza Strip, killed 24 people. Another 18 Palestinians were killed in an attack on homes in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood.

The Israeli military released a brief statement saying: "Not long ago, IDF warplanes attacked two Hamas military infrastructure sites in the Gaza City area."
Video obtained by Reuters showed dozens of Palestinians rushing out to search for victims among destroyed homes. It showed collapsed houses, blown-out walls, debris and dust strewn across the streets of the Shati refugee camp.
After more than eight months, Israel's military campaign is now focused on the last two areas its forces still do not fully control: Rafah on the southern edge of Gaza and the area around Deir al-Balah in the heart of the territory.
Residents said Israeli tanks had moved deeper into areas west and north of Rafah in recent days. On Saturday, Israeli forces bombed several areas from the air and on the ground, forcing many families living in areas described as humanitarian zones to evacuate north.
The Israeli military said forces continued “precise, intelligence-based” targeting operations in Rafah, killing scores of Palestinian militants and dismantling military infrastructure.
On Friday, Gaza health authorities said at least 25 Palestinians were killed in Mawasi west of Rafah and 50 were wounded. Palestinians said a tank shell hit a tent housing displaced families.
