In a statement received by Quds Press yesterday evening, it also reported that Israel detained dozens of Palestinian civilians from UNRWA-run schools in northern Gaza.

It documented the arrest of journalists, doctors, academic and elderly individuals from displacement centres in the northern Gaza Strip many of whom were beaten and all of whom were stripped of their clothes down to their underwear before being taken away.
