Bandar Gaza (Wilayah Palestin): Israel memperhebatkan serangan di kota Gaza pada Selasa, menurut saksi kepada AFP, selepas Setiausaha Negara Amerika Syarikat, Marco Rubio, menyokong serangan Israel di wilayah Palestin yang musnah itu.
“Pengeboman dilakukan secara berterusan dan hebat, sekali gus meningkatkan bahaya kepada orang awam,” kata saksi, Ahmed Ghazal, sambil menambah rumah musnah dan penduduk terperangkap di bawah runtuhan.
Jurucakap pertahanan awam Gaza, Mahmud Bassal, memberitahu AFP, pengeboman masih berlaku dengan hebat di seluruh Kota Gaza, dan jumlah kematian serta kecederaan terus meningkat.
Israel heavily bombarded Gaza City on Tuesday, witnesses told AFP, after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio backed Israel’s offensive in the devastated Palestinian territory.
“There is heavy, relentless bombing on Gaza City, and the danger keeps increasing,” witness Ahmed Ghazal said, adding that homes had been destroyed and residents were trapped under the rubble.
Gaza civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that “bombing is still ongoing heavily across Gaza City, and the number of deaths and injuries continues to rise.”
