The Ministry also indicated that there are dozens of victims under the rubble and on the roads from the attacks in recent hours, but that ambulance and civil defense teams have not been able to reach them.
The Israeli Army reported today that it is expanding its ground operation in Khan Younis, in the south of the Strip, where it has killed at least “40 terrorists”, while preparing to reduce the intensity of the attacks in the north, where it has practically eradicated the presence of Hamas.

In Khan Yunis, local Palestinian media report the destruction of the Al Farra Tower, a 16-story residential building in the center of that city, the second largest in the Strip and the fiefdom of Yahya Sinwar, Hamas leader within the enclave.
The fighting is also still intense in the center of the Strip, where the Martyrs of Al Aqsa hospital, in Deir al Balah, announced that it has received 57 dead and 65 wounded in the last day.
