Israel orders more forced expulsions from southern Gaza City, while the UN estimates 280,000 Palestinians have been displaced since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 18.
Israeli fighter jets have bombed and destroyed a water desalination plant in the Tuffah neighbourhood, east of Gaza City in the north, according to an Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent on the ground.
An Israeli court extends Dr. Hussam Abu Safia's detention for six months, citing a “security threat,” despite legal teams arguing he was just doing his job as director and paediatrician of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital.
Israel’s military says a ground invasion of southern Gaza’s Rafah is under way and troops are pushing into the north near the town of Beit Lahiya and central areas.
Hamas calls Israel’s strikes a ‘treacherous’ attack on defenceless Palestinian civilians, accusing it of trying to overturn the Gaza ceasefire. Netanyahu says he acted due to stalled truce talks.
Report says at least 308 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli air attacks across Gaza. The number of people killed so far included 154 in the northern part of the territory.
Israel's ongoing blockade of aid to Gaza has left roughly a million Palestinian children 'living without the basic necessities they need to survive,' according to UNICEF.
