Two Gaza Civil Defense workers killed as Israel launches more strikes | Israel-Palestine Conflicts News

At least six other people were killed and many injured when Israel raided a house in Jabalia al-Nazla, north of Gaza.

At least two members of Gaza’s Civil Defense were killed in the latest Israeli attack on the Palestinian territory, first aid and emergency services said.

A drone strike targeting the Civil Defense headquarters in Gaza City on Tuesday killed firefighter Nabil Bahloul and his son.

Another security worker, Najib Sakr, was killed when the Daraj area of ​​Gaza City was bombed by Israeli forces.

“We received an urgent pressure message … asking for help to put out a fire caused by an Israeli air strike in a residential building,” said Ahmed al-Madhoun, a member of the Civil Defence.

“We rushed to the scene of the incident. While we were on our way, we received a phone call telling us that the place we were going to had been hit again. We left and found dozens killed, including members of the dispersed Civil Defense team. “

Israeli military attacks on Gaza Civil Defense offices are increasing, Al Jazeera Gaza correspondent Tareq Abu Azzoum said.

“We are talking about 14 facilities that were destroyed along with 56 vehicles, including fire engines and ambulances,” he said.

“The civil defense personnel cannot work effectively in northern Gaza, where their services have seen a complete collapse due to repeated Israeli attacks on their members on the ground,” he added.

Because of this, citizens are taking responsibility, coming together to perform dangerous rescue operations, including pulling victims from under the rubble of bombed buildings, said Abu Azzoum.

At least six Palestinians were killed and many others were injured when an Israeli home was raided in the northern Gaza Strip of Jabalia al-Nazla, according to Al Jazeera reporters on the ground. The house belonged to the Abu Warda family.

Civil Defense officials said the bodies of the three children were still buried in the debris and their workers were having difficulty getting them out.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Israel’s diplomatic delegation will return to Tel Aviv on Tuesday night after a “meaningful week” of talks in Qatar.

Additionally, an Israeli military investigation concluded on Tuesday that the presence of Israeli forces contributed to the deaths of six hostages killed by their Hamas captors in Gaza.

The bodies of the hostages were found in the tunnel in late August, an incident that sparked the largest anti-war protests since the war began.

The investigation found that the six hostages were killed by multiple shots from their captors after surviving nearly 330 days in Gaza.

Israel’s massacre in Gaza since October last year has killed at least 45,338 Palestinians and injured 107,764.

At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during an attack led by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken hostage.
