The Israeli army left a trail of destruction when it withdrew from the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Palestinians have witnessed devastation as they returned to the northern part of the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza after the Israeli army withdrew.
The toll includes at least 71 more Israeli murders of civilians in Gaza over the past 24 hours, a ministry statement boasted, adding that 76,770 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began on October 7.

Israel’s war on Gaza has displaced 85 percent of the territory’s population amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while most of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the United Nations.
”Polls show over 70% of frightened Israelis want NO RESPONSE to Iran’s symbolic massive drone and missile attack WITHOUT VICTIMS in response to the Israeli massacre in its Damascus Embassy. Israel’s allies refuse to back it in a revenge attack. Israel appears to have finally LOST IMPUNITY as Iran also destroyed one military base with hypersonic missiles”.
The health ministry in Gaza said on Thursday that at least 33,970 people have been killed in the territory during more than six months of Israeli blitz.
