Several people
were killed in indiscriminate Israeli attacks across Gaza on 1 August as the
besieged strip marked the 300th day of Tel Aviv’s genocidal war.
Four people were
killed and several others injured by Israeli shelling in the Nuseirat refugee
camp in central Gaza on Thursday, WAFA news agency reported. Eight were also
killed in central Gaza’s Maghazi camp.
An airstrike
near the Kuwait Roundabout in Gaza City, north of the strip, killed one and
injured others, while Israeli warplanes launched numerous attacks across the
southernmost city of Rafah.
The bombardment
came a day after a brutal attack by Israeli forces against journalists in Gaza.
Al Jazeera
correspondent Ismail al-Ghoul and photojournalist Rami al-Riffy were killed
when Israel targeted their vehicle in Gaza City’s Al-Shati refugee camp.
Graphic footage
circulating social media shows one of the journalists with his head missing
inside the ravaged car.
Ghoul had been
covering the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in
Tehran that morning, outside his destroyed Gaza home.
“Ismail was
conveying the suffering of the displaced Palestinians and the suffering of the
wounded and the massacres committed by the [Israeli] occupation against the
innocent people in Gaza. The feeling – no words can describe what happened,”
said his colleague, Anas al-Sharif, while at the hospital that received the
bodies of the two journalists.
Al Jazeera,
which has lost several journalists to Israeli attacks, called the killings a
“targeted assassination.” The two were wearing press vests and were inside a
clearly marked vehicle for the media at the time of the strike.
Hamas’ Qassam
Brigades and other resistance factions continued to confront Israeli forces
across the strip throughout 31 July.
“In a combined
operation in the Al-Shoka area, east of the city of Rafah, our fighters were
able to target a Zionist tank and a D9 military bulldozer, setting them on fire
with two Al-Yassin 105 shells, then targeting the rescue forces upon their
arrival and destroying a troop carrier and another two D9 bulldozers with
Al-Yassin 105 shells. Clashes are still continuing in the operation area,” the
Qassam Brigades said on Wednesday evening.
