17 dead in Israeli attack on "peaceful zone" in Gaza
At least 17 people have been killed in an Israeli attack on a gas station in al-Mawasi outside Khan Yunis in Gaza, AP reports. Israel's military has previously urged Palestinians to flee to the area, which has been described as a safe zone.
During Tuesday, the Israeli military is said to have also attacked a school in Nuseirat, with several deaths as a result. Palestinians on the run are said to have taken shelter there as well. Israel claims the school housed Hamas terrorists.
In total, at least 60 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the news agency. The Israeli military says it struck around 40 targets in the area, including lookout posts and military buildings under Hamas control.

Gazans feel increasingly abandoned: "Trump's ear more important than everyone who dies"
After nine months of war, Gaza's residents are beginning to feel increasingly abandoned by the outside world, writes Haaretz who spoke to people in the refugee camp in Nuseirat.
A woman says that no one talks anymore about all those who die and are maimed in the war.
- In the US, Trump's bleeding ear is more important. Europe is busy with the elections in the UK and France. The protests and marches in the world are weekend activities, she says.
She says that she recently visited a neighbor with her children and that they then talked about the end of the war and how they would return to a normal everyday life.
- Yesterday she and her grandson were killed by an Israeli robot. Her life ended, not the war.

Garbage piles up in Khan Yunis: "The stench is killing us"
In the wake of Israel's attacks, the city of Khan Yunis in Gaza has suffered a waste crisis, writes Reuters. The garbage that piles up among the ruins brings with it a terrible stench and has caused disease to begin to spread.
Leakage from the garbage has also reached the drinking water reserves and the local authorities have no possibility to take any measures.
- We can't sleep, we can't eat, we can't drink and the stench is killing us, says Ahmed Shaloula, who moved to Khan Yunis from Gaza City.
Khan Yunis is Gaza's second largest city and home to 2.3 million people.
Israeli military begins conscripting ultra-Orthodox
The Israeli military will begin calling up ultra-Orthodox Israeli men for military service on Sunday. This is stated by AP.
Members of Israel's ultra-Orthodox movements have previously been exempt from the country's conscription, which was recently invalidated by the Supreme Court.
According to AP, the army's announcement could cause concern within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, which is dependent on support from ultra-Orthodox parties.
