Israeli ground incursion in Shujaiya traps residents

The Israeli army fired shells towards several houses in Shujaiya, in north Gaza, leaving families trapped inside and unable to leave, residents told Reuters.

Residents also said that they do not have food, according to Al Jazeera. Some people are wounded and ambulances have not been able to reach that area.

The Israeli military said it had killed several Palestinian fighters, located weapons, and struck military infrastructure over the past day. On Saturday it announced the death of two Israeli soldiers in northern Gaza.

Hamas and the Islamic Jihad reported fierce fighting in both Shujaiya and Rafah, saying their fighters had fired anti-tank rockets and mortar bombs against Israeli forces operating there.
