GAZA: Palestinian health officials have said that at least ten people were killed and at least 30 wounded in Israeli airstrikes on a food distribution center in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, with casualties including children and women.
The recent attack in the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza reported when earlier, United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon said that Israeli tanks forcibly entered a Blue Helmet position in southern Lebanon after blocking their movement the previous day, raising concerns about the safety and security of UN personnel in the area.
The incident took place early Sunday morning when two Israeli military personnel tanks breached the main gate of the UN position in Ramia.
“At around 4:30 am (0130 GMT), while peacekeepers were in shelters, two Israeli military Merkava tanks destroyed the position’s main gate and forcibly entered the position” in the Ramia area of southern Lebanon, the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said.
According to the UNIFIL, the tanks also entered the peacekeepers’ position following blocking their movement the last day. “They also requested multiple times that the base turn out its lights. The tanks left around 45 minutes later following UNIFIL protested through our liaison mechanism,” the peacekeeping mission stated.
