"Israel continued its brutal onslaught on Gaza on Tuesday despite a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding an "immediate cease-fire."
The resolution was adopted Monday after Israel's closest ally the United States abstained amid growing concern for the worsening humanitarian situation after nearly six months of war."
"The text demands an "immediate cease-fire" for the ongoing Islamic holy month of Ramadan, leading to a "lasting" truce.
It also demands that Palestinian resistance groups, including Hamas, free hostages they took during the unprecedented Oct. 7 incursion of Israel, though it does not directly link the release to a truce.
In Gaza, there was intense fighting overnight, with Israeli operations in and around at least three major hospitals in the besieged territory.
The Israeli military said its jets had struck more than 60 targets in Gaza in the past day, including alleged tunnels, infrastructure and military structures.
The Gazan Health Ministry in the Hamas-run territory said 70 people were killed early Tuesday, 13 of them in Israeli airstrikes around the southern city of Rafah."

Israel's military has stepped up its airstrikes on the southern Gaza city Rafah in the last two days, on Wednesday bombing at least four homes, raising fears that the planned ground assault is imminent, despite the UN Security Council having just issued an official call for immediate ceasefire.
ReplyDeleteGaza health officials said that one of these airstrikes killed eleven people from a single family, as cited in Reuters. One local eyewitness, Jamil Abu Houri, described that "The bombing has increased, and they have threatened us with an incursion, and they say that have been given the green light for the Rafah incursion.
