Forty-five Palestinian fighters were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza on Tuesday, the military reported, after fierce confrontations. Hamas, the militant group, claimed to have destroyed two armored personnel carriers near Rafah during an ambush.

According to medical sources, five Palestinians were killed by air strikes in Al-Bureij camp on Tuesday, and additional casualties were reported from other strikes in Rafah and Khan Younis, involving the death of local journalist Mohammad Abu Saada.
