Vicious return to combat in Gaza

After a delicate seven-day truce, fighting returned to the Gaza Strip today after Israel faced rocket attacks.

In response, the IDF claimed to have struck “200 terror targets” and the Hamas-run health ministry said over 100 Palestinians were killed in little over half a day.

The IDF struck all over Gaza, but particularly in the south at Rafah and Khan Younis, just after having leafleted the area urging Palestinians to flee. In Khan Younis, there has been near-constant bombardment. Mohammad Ghalayini, a resident, told NBC News: “Every 10-15 minutes there have been strikes, some of it 500 metres away from us.”
