Escalating Israeli attacks in Gaza are forcing more Palestinians to flee their homes in the north as Israel's war on the besieged enclave enters its 34th day.
Israeli air strikes have pounded Gaza as soldiers battled street-by-street with Hamas members, and tens of thousands of Palestinians desperate for safety fled their homes southwards in the besieged territory.
A ministry statement said a 51-year-old man was shot dead in the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem, and a 30-year-old was killed in Dura town, south of Hebron. The deal would enable more aid, including limited amounts of fuel, to enter the besieged territory to alleviate worsening conditions for the 2.3 million Palestinians trapped there.
It added that 10 cases involved people wounded by live bullets while others suffocated from Israeli teargas.The Palestine Red Crescent Society has said that 187 more aid trucks have entered besieged Gaza through the Rafah border crossing. An airstrike near Al Nasr Children's Hospital in the western part of the city killed three Palestinians and left dozens more wounded.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said that any move by the Israeli occupation forces to divide Gaza into two sections is unacceptable and emphasised that the enclave is an integral part of Palestine.
Al-Maliki sent a message to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi about recent remarks made by Israel’s far-right Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu that dropping a nuclear bomb on Gaza was “one of the possibilities” the government was considering to deal with the threat from the Palestinian group Hamas.

"I am concerned that if Israel's strategy and end goal is to defeat Hamas, then this pace of civilian casualties, which certainly comes with a moral cost, also comes with a strategic cost." "US military forces conducted a self-defense strike on a facility in eastern Syria used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and affiliated groups. This strike was conducted by two US F-15s against a weapons storage facility," Austin said in a statement.
