Israeli forces demolished houses in the eastern areas of the city of Gaza overnight, with at least 11 people losing their lives on air raids and tanks’ attacks, as local health authorities said, while Hamas told the mediators.

Residents and healthcares said eight people were killed when an Israeli armor fire hit a house in the Zeitun district, while a man was killed in a plane blow in a building in the nearby Setzai suburb. Two more people were killed in armor blows in another suburb of Gaza city, Tufta.

“The explosions are almost without interruption in areas of eastern Gaza, mainly in Zeitun and Seza. Occupation (Israel) disappears houses there, as we hear from some friends who live nearby ”, said Ismail, 40, from the city of Gaza. “At night, we pray for our safety as the sounds of explosions are strengthened and approaching. We hope that Egypt will be able to secure a ceasefire agreement before we all die, “he told Reuters through a messaging application.

Four more people lost their lives Due to famine and malnutrition in the enclave for the last 24 hours, the Gaza Ministry of Health said today, raising their total number to 239, including 106 children, from the start of the war.

In an attempt to avoid the planned military escalation, Egypt is trying to give a new impetus to the effort to cease fire in Gaza, a Hamas delegation under the head of the negotiator Halil al-Haya.

He told Cairo mediators yesterday that Hamas is ready to repeat talks about a truce in order to achieve a temporary ceasefire and that it is open to discussing a comprehensive agreement that would end the war, Egyptian and Palestinian said.
