Israel kills 28 Palestinians in Gaza on New Year’s Day

• At least 28 Palestinians, including children and women, are killed throughout Gaza on New Year’s Day in Israeli attacks in northern Gaza’s Jabalia, the central Bureij refugee camp, Gaza City, and southern Khan Younis.

• Days of heavy rain have flooded hundreds of makeshift shelters across the Strip, piling more misery on displaced Palestinians as Israel continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid.

• The Palestinian Authority suspends the broadcast of Al Jazeera, accusing the network of broadcasting “misleading” material. Al Jazeera has previously condemned an “incitement campaign” against it by Fatah, which dominates the PA.

• Former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant has resigned from parliament. He was fired by PM Netanyahu in November.

• Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,553 Palestinians and wounded 108,379 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 taken captive.
