Palestinians return to Gaza City area after Israeli troops leave

Palestinians returned to Zeitoun, in the southern part of Gaza City, following the retreat of Israeli forces after a destructive incursion.

Khalil Murad said he barely got out alive. “We left under gunfire and missiles. Thank God we are still alive. Everything there has been destroyed. Dead bodies are all over the place there.”

Another resident, Samira Abu Negela, said that ethnic cleansing is Israel’s goal.

“I can’t understand the behaviour of the Israeli forces. There is no resistance in the area so why is it massively attacked and wiped out? The Israelis, if they can, would drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza. They want to get rid of all of us.”

Ahmed Awoda told Al Jazeera: “I used to have a tailor shop where I sewed people’s clothes. The Israelis destroyed my shop. Now I sell drinking water to people.”
