******* drops leaflets over Gaza showing Sinwar’s body and message to ******

By Nidal al-Mughrabi

CAIRO (Reuters) -******** planes dropped leaflets over southern Gaza on Saturday showing a picture of the ***** ****** chief Yahya Sinwar with the message that “****** will no longer rule Gaza”, echoing language used by ******** Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The move came as ******** military strikes ******* at least 32 people across the Gaza Strip and tightened a siege around hospitals in Jabalia in the north of the enclave, ************ health officials said.

“Whoever drops the ******* and hands over the hostages will be allowed to leave and live in peace,” the leaflet, written in Arabic, read, according to residents of the southern city of Khan Younis and images circulating online.

The leaflet’s wording was from a statement by Netanyahu on Thursday after Sinwar was ******* by ******** soldiers operating in Rafah, in the south near the Egyptian border, on Wednesday.

The Oct. 7 ******* Sinwar planned on ******** communities a year ago ******* around 1,200 people, with another 253 dragged back to Gaza as hostages, according to ******** tallies.

*******’s subsequent war has devastated Gaza, ******** more than 42,500 Palestinians, with another 10,000 uncounted ***** thought to lie under the rubble, Gaza health authorities say.

In the central Gaza Strip camp of Al-Maghzai, an ******** strike on a house ******* 11 people, while another strike at the nearby camp of Nuseirat ******* four others.

Five other people were ******* in two separate strikes in the south Gaza cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, medics said, while seven Palestinians were ******* in the Shati camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Late on Friday, medics said 33 people, mostly women and children, were ******* and 85 others were wounded in ******** strikes that destroyed at least three houses in Jabalia.

The ******** military said it was unaware of that incident.

It said forces were continuing operations against ****** across the enclave, ******** several gunmen in Rafah and Jabalia and dismantling military infrastructure. ************ medics said five people were ******* in Jabalia on Saturday.

EVACUATION ORDERS

Residents and medics said ******** forces had tightened their siege on Jabalia, the largest of the enclave’s eight historic camps, which it encircled by also sending tanks to nearby towns of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya and issuing evacuation orders to residents.

******** officials said evacuation orders were aimed at separating ****** fighters from civilians and denied that there was any systematic plan to clear civilians out of Jabalia or other northern areas.

Residents and medical officials said ******** forces were ******** houses and besieging hospitals, preventing medical and food supplies from entering to force them to leave the camp.

Health officials said they refused orders by the ******** army to evacuate the hospital or leave the patients, many in a critical condition, unattended.

“The ******** occupation is intensifying its targeting of the health system in the northern Gaza Strip, by besieging and directly targeting the Indonesian Hospital, Kamal Adwan Hospital, and Al-Awda Hospital during the past hours and its insistence on putting them out of service,” the Gaza health ministry said.

It said two patients in intensive care at the Indonesian Hospital ***** “as a result of the hospital’s siege and the power outage and medical supplies”.

*******’s military said the troops operating in the area had been “briefed on the importance of mitigating harm to civilians and medical infrastructure”.

“It is emphasized that the hospital continues to operate without disruption and in full capacity, and there was no intentional ***** directed at it,” it said.
