And the slaughter continues unabated.
New Israeli air strikes on Nuseirat
Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza reports that Israeli warplanes have targeted a house in the al-Dawa area in the east of Nuseirat refugee camp. Today, Israeli attacks on Nuseirat killed at least 210 Palestinians and injured 400, in an operation that reduced four Israeli captives held there.

‘It’s a nightmare at Al-Aqsa’ Hospital: MSF
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has said its teams are working alongside medical staff at Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals “to treat an overwhelming number of severely injured patients, many of whom are women and children”, following Israeli bombings this morning in the middle area of Gaza.
“It’s a nightmare at Al-Aqsa. There have been back-to-back mass casualties as densely populated areas are bombed. It’s way beyond what anyone could deal with in a functional hospital, let alone with the scarce resources we have here,” said Samuel Johann, MSF coordinator in Gaza.
“How many more men, women and children have to be killed before world leaders decide to put an end to this massacre?” Johann said.

PIJ sends rockets from Gaza towards Israeli cities
The Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, says in a statement that it bombarded the areas surrounding the Gaza Strip with rockets.
In tandem, Israeli media is reporting that air raid sirens have sounded in the Israeli cities of Sderot, Kfar Azza and Nir General, all close to the Gaza Strip.
Anyone think Israel will stop after 'dismantling' Hamas? PIJ and other groups are fighting back and recruiting as well. A permanent ceasefire is the only way to get the fighting to end. Even killing everyone in Gaza will only move the conflict further to the West Bank, then North Israel with Hezbollah, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Iran. And at some point the other Arab countries will see nothing to gain anymore as well from trying to have 'normal' ties with Israel.
There is no possible victory here, for any side. Only more death and destruction.
Israeli Nuseirat attack will not affect swap deal: Islamic Jihad
Israel’s attack on Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp, which killed at least 210 people and injured 400, will not affect the current prisoner-captive swap deal, says Mohammad al-Hindi, deputy chief of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, ally of Hamas.
Al-Hindi said that conditions for the deal remain the same, in comments to Hamas-affiliated Al-Aqsa TV.
Which means the road to permanent ceasefire, not a 6 week pause, which Hamas (and PIJ) want clarity on from Israel.
