Does Israel’s air force condone unlimited civilian deaths when targeting top Hamas commanders?

Israeli airstrikes have killed scores of Palestinians in the north, centre, and south of the Gaza Strip, while tanks have pushed further into Rafah in the south. Israeli missiles struck the Nuseirat refugee camp in the centre of the territory, destroying a mosque and a UN-run school where many people were sheltering. Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry has said that Israeli airstrikes also killed Palestinians in Zawayda town and Bureij. Weeks of intensified bombardment has claimed the lives of hundreds of civilians as Israel says it is targeting leading members of Hamas, some of whom it believes took part in the October 7 terror attacks. Earlier this week, the Israeli military said it had killed two members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad in two separate airstrikes in Gaza City. Several areas that Israel had designated “safe zones“, including Al-Mawasi in the south, have been struck in recent days, leaving ever fewer options for displaced Palestinians. Subscribe:
