Washington: The US military bombed Islamic State camps in Syria. This information was given by the US Central Command. The US military said in a statement on Saturday, the US military carried out air strikes on Islamic State camps in Syria earlier this week.
The US Central Command statement said our battle damage assessment was ongoing and there was no indication of civilian casualties. It said the airstrikes were carried out quickly.
29 people killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza
Israeli army tanks are carrying out a ground assault on Gaza. At least 29 Palestinians were killed in Israeli military attacks on Gaza on Saturday, while international relief agencies say thousands of people remain trapped. Residents said Israeli forces continued to attack Jabalia, in the north of the enclave, the largest of its historic refugee camps, from the air and on the ground.
19 people were killed overnight in Gaza, and 10 more died on Saturday evening when Israeli shelling hit two houses in Jabalia and the Nuseirat camp in central Gaza. Doctors say the death toll could rise as many of the injured are in critical condition.
The Israeli military said it was taking action against Hamas fighters who were using civilian buildings and said clear instructions had been issued in recent days to vacate areas, including the Kamal Adwan hospital.
Israeli forces continue military operations across the Gaza Strip
The Israeli army continued military operations across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing more than 20 fighters in tank fire, close-range fire and air strikes, according to Reuters. The operation in the Jabalia region began a week ago and the army said then that its aim was to fight against militants carrying out attacks and prevent Hamas from regrouping.
There is no safe zone in Gaza
Hamas denies that its fighters deliberately use civilian areas as bases. Palestinian health officials put the number of those killed in Jabalia last week at about 150. Palestinian and U.N. officials say there are no safe zones in Gaza.
Over 42,000 Palestinians were killed
The Palestinian Health Ministry also expressed concern over severe shortages of food, fuel and medical supplies in northern Gaza and said there was a risk of famine. More than 42,000 Palestinians have been killed since Israel's military campaign in Gaza aimed at eliminating the militant group Hamas began a year ago, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
