Israeli forces carried out air strikes and artillery attacks across northern, central, and southern Gaza on Saturday morning, following days of attacks that have killed dozens of Palestinians.

Israeli forces conducted air raids and fired tank shells east of Rafah in the south, while also carrying out additional air and artillery strikes in the vicinity of Khan Younis.

In central Gaza, artillery fire struck the eastern side of Deir el-Balah.

Meanwhile, in Gaza City, artillery and tank shells hit the Tuffah neighbourhood, our colleagues noted, though no casualty figures were initially provided. Al Jazeera Arabic has since reported further casualties from Israeli military fire.

The most recent incident occurred east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, where two Palestinians were wounded, based on a hospital report cited by the outlet.

These developments coincide with the start of efforts to locate the bodies of numerous missing Gaza residents in Maghazi camp, situated in the centre of the enclave.

The operation will be supported by the Red Cross, the Egyptian Committee, and the local police force, according to the Palestinian Civil Defence.

On Friday, Israel’s military also stated that it had killed six Palestinian fighters and detained five others who emerged from tunnels in the southern city of Rafah, east of the so-called yellow line.
