Continuing war on Gaza ‘a disaster for Israel’, protester says
As we’ve been reporting, family members and supporters of Israeli captives have held a rally in Tel Aviv, urging their government to end the war on Gaza and secure the release of those remaining in Gaza.
Here’s what some of them said.
“We’re coming every Saturday to demand the government to stop the war and bring back our brothers and sisters from captivity in Gaza,” said Noa Alon, 42.
“I came to support the families of the hostages and to protest against the war continuation because I think that it is a disaster for Israel,” said Tami Dvir, 60.
Pictures from the protest showed the protesters holding banners that said, “58 more to go”, “Trump make us whole again”, “government betraying its people”, and “Bibi is a traitor”.
Hamas slams Israeli attacks on displaced Palestinians
The Palestinian group says “brutal” air raids by the Israeli army targeted tents of displaced people in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis.
Israel continued its bombardment of Gaza, killing at least 78 Palestinians since the early hours of the day, including 36 people sheltering at the al-Mawasi tent camp.
Hamas said on Telegram that targeting the tents of the displaced and burning them with civilians inside is “a brutal crime that embodies the fascism of the war criminal Netanyahu’s government and its flagrant violation of all humanitarian laws and norms”.
“By granting the terrorist occupation government political and military cover, the US administration bears direct responsibility for this insane escalation in the targeting of innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip, including children, women, and the elderly,” it said.
The group renewed its call to all “Arab and Islamic countries to assume their responsibilities and urgently intervene” to stop the genocide in Gaza.
