Airstrikes kill Palestinians in historic Nuseirat and Bureij camps as tanks advance into Rafah in south
A series of Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday have resulted in the deaths of at least 17 Palestinians in two of the Gaza Strip’s historic refugee camps, as tanks advanced further into the southern city of Rafah, according to reports from residents and medics.Civilians in Rafah described intense bombardments by tanks and planes across various areas in the city, which sheltered more than 1 million people before May.
Footage of the aftermath of the Israeli strikes in Deir al-Balah shows Palestinians sifting through the wreckage of homes in search of bodies, clearing debris from damaged apartment buildings, and mourning the loss of their loved ones. The war began on 7 October when Hamas attacked southern Israel, killing about 1,200 people. More than 37,372 Palestinians had been killed and 85,452 had been wounded during Israel’s military offensive, the Gaza health ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.Critics of Netanyahu allege that he is stalling to avoid an inquiry into his government’s shortcomings on 7 October and to avert the possibility of new elections at a time when his popularity is dwindling.
