Israeli air strikes inside Gaza Strip They killed 12 people as the Israel-Hamas war continues with no end in sight, according to Palestinian health officials.

Air strikes killed six people in Nuseyrat and four in Bureij, two refugee camps established in the center of Gaza.

According to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city of Deir Al Balah, where all 12 bodies were found, two more people were killed in the attack on Gaza’s main north-south highway.

Israel is also at war with the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon, where ground troops are advancing further north.

Meanwhile, Israeli police arrested three suspects after a flare gun was thrown at the prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s private residence in the coastal city of Caesarea.

Authorities said Netanyahu and his family were not at home when two flares were fired during the night and there were no injuries.

Last month, while Netanyahu and his family were away, a drone launched by Hezbollah hit the residence.

Police did not provide detailed information about the suspects behind the flares, but officials pointed to domestic political critics of Netanyahu.

Yitzhak, the largely ceremonial president of Israel Herzog condemned the incident and warned against “escalation of violence in public spaces.”

Mr. Netanyahu has faced months of mass protests over his handling of the hostage crisis sparked by the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which sparked the ongoing war in Gaza.

Critics blame Netanyahu for the security and intelligence failures that led to the attack and the failure to reach an agreement with Hamas to release the large number of hostages still held in Gaza.

The Israelis reconvened in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, demanding a ceasefire agreement and asking for their return.

Meanwhile, Justice Minister Yariv Levin also took advantage of the flare attack to call for the revival of plans to overhaul the Israeli judiciary, which led to months of mass protests before the war and remains deeply divisive.

“It is time to give full support to the restoration of the justice system and law enforcement, and to put an end to anarchy, attacks, denials and attempts to harm the prime minister,” he said in the statement.

Supporters said the judicial changes aim to strengthen democracy by limiting the powers of unelected judges and delegating more power to elected officials.

Opponents see this revision as a seizure of power by Netanyahu, who is on trial on corruption charges, and an attack on a key observer.

The war between Israel and Hamas began when Palestinian militants raided Israel in October 2023, killing approximately 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapping 250. About 100 hostages remain in Gaza, and about a third of them are believed to be dead.

The health ministry in Gaza says about 43,800 Palestinians have been killed in the war.

The ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants but said more than half of the deaths were women and children.

Nearly 90 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million Palestinian population has been displaced, and large areas of the region have been leveled by Israeli bombardment and ground operations.

The 10 elected members of the UN Security Council published a draft resolution on Thursday demanding an “immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza. Israel’s closest ally, the United States, holds the key to whether the council will accept the decision. – Access point
