July 5—Israeli air strikes have continued in Gaza killing at least five Palestinians, including three children in northern Gaza’s Jabalia and a married couple in the southern city of Khan Younis.
The Israeli ground forces have also continued their military operation in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood, where they claim to have killed about 100 Palestinians.

The Hamas armed group has said it mourns “righteous martyrs” who were killed by the Israeli forces in occupied West Bank’s Jenin.
“The ongoing crimes of the occupation in Gaza, Jenin and Tulkarem will not succeed in breaking the will of our Palestinian people,” it said in a statement on Telegram.
The group called on the international community and the United Nations “to stand up to their responsibilities and take clear decisions to stop the ongoing crimes”.
The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a loose grouping of armed factions in Gaza, has issued a statement mourning the seven men killed in an Israeli raid in Jenin and promising revenge.
“The cowardly assassinations and their [Israel’s] escalation will not break the will of our people and their resistors, nor will they extinguish the burning fire of revolution and resistance in all parts of Palestine,” the statement said.
The PRC said Israeli forces would “pay the price for their escalating crimes, and these crimes will be faced with a qualitative and quantitative escalation, regardless of the sacrifices”.
The Israeli military stormed a building in the West Bank city this morning after a four-hour siege, killing at least seven people.
