ISRAEL KILLS 40 PALESTINIANS IN GAZA AIRSTRIKES AMID FEARS OF WIDER WAR

 * Summary

 * Israeli aircraft intensify strikes as war enters 11th month
 * Militants fire anti-tank rockets, mortars at Israeli troops
 * Israeli army issues new evacuation orders in Khan Younis
 * Regional war risk as Iran, Hezbollah vow retaliation for assassinations

CAIRO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Israeli forces stepped up airstrikes across the Gaza
Strip on Thursday, killing at least 40 people, Palestinian medics said, in
further battle with Hamas-led militants as Israel braced for potential wider war
in the region.
Israeli airstrikes hit a cluster of houses in central Gaza's Al-Bureij camp,
killing at least 15 people, and the nearby Al-Nuseirat camp, killed four, medics
said. Nuseirat and Bureij are among the densely populated enclave's eight
historic camps and seen by Israel as strongholds of armed militants.

Israeli aircraft also bombed a house in the heart of Gaza City in the north,
killing five Palestinians, while another airstrike in the southern city of Khan
Younis killed one person and wounded others, according to medics.
Later on Thursday, 15 Palestinians were killed and 30 injured in Israeli
bombings of two schools east of Gaza City, the territory's Civil Emergency
Service said in a statement.
The Israeli military said it struck Hamas command and control centres embedded
in the Abdel-Fattah Hamouda and Al-Zahra schools in the Tuffah neighbourhood of
Gaza City, where Hamas militants were operating.

It accused Hamas of exploiting civilians and civilian properties for military
purposes, an allegation Hamas denies.
Footage circulated on social media, which Reuters could not immediately verify,
showed casualties being brought to a hospital on donkey carts.
The armed wings of Hamas and Islamic Jihad said they were firing anti-tank
rockets and mortar bombs at Israeli forces operating across Gaza, causing deaths
and injuries among them.

Israel's military said it had struck dozens of military targets across Gaza over
the past 24 hours, including rocket launching pads.
Hamas-led militants set off the Gaza war on Oct. 7 last year with a shock,
cross-border rampage into Israeli communities, killing 1,200 Israelis and
foreigners and seizing some 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
Since then, at least 39,699 Palestinians have been killed, including 22 within
the past 24 hours, and 91,722 injured in Israel's devastating air and ground war
in Gaza, the Gaza health ministry said in an update on Thursday.

The ministry in the Hamas-run territory does not distinguish between combatants
and civilians in its death lists.
As Gaza's war churns on, Israel has been battening down for another attack
expected in the coming days following vows from Iran and its Lebanon proxy
Hezbollah to retaliate for the assassinations last week of Hamas leader Ismail
Haniyeh in Tehran and Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut.

A relatively contained conflict between Israel and Hezbollah along its northern
border, a spillover from the Gaza fighting, now threatens to spiral into an
all-out regional war.


MORE BURIALS IN GAZA

On Thursday dozens of Palestinians rushed into Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis to
bid farewell to slain relatives before carrying them away for burials.
Reuters footage showed relatives moving out the bodies of their loved ones in
plastic bags with names written on them, and holding special prayers before the
funerals.
The Israeli military renewed evacuation orders to Palestinian residents in
several districts in eastern Khan Younis, saying it would act forcefully against
militants who had unleashed rockets from those areas.
The army posted the evacuation order on X, and residents said they had received
text and audio messages.
Residents said dozens of families had begun to leave their homes and head west
towards Al-Mawasi, a humanitarian-designated area but one that is overcrowded by
displaced families from around the enclave.
On Thursday, the World Central Kitchen (WCK), a U.S.-based, non-governmental
humanitarian agency, said that a Palestinian staff member, Nadi Sallout, had
been killed while apparently off duty on Wednesday near Deir Al-Balah in central
Gaza. The WCK said it was seeking further details.
The Israeli military said it did not know of any such incident, adding that it
had been in contact with WCK.
In April, seven WCK employees were killed in an Israeli airstrike, spurring it
to suspend operations for nearly a month.
Israel said then its inquiries had found serious errors and breaches of
procedure by its military, and that two senior officers had been dismissed and
senior commanders reprimanded.
