JEBALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza health officials say 15 people have been killed and more than 150 wounded by an Israeli airstrike in a crowded shopping area.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
Gaza health ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra says the area was busy Wednesday because residents thought a cease-fire was in place. The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed the death toll.
Israel had earlier announced a “humanitarian window” in certain parts of the territory. It said it would not halt fire in other areas, including in Shijaiyah, where the strike took place.
Gaza militants had fired several rockets at Israel earlier.

Either Israel is a US colony (which to some large degree culturally and economically it is – moreso than any other foreign location), in which case we should continue to support and fund them only on condition they follow our orders, or they’re not, in which case we should organize international sanctions against them just as we have with Russia.
How much of the current lack of ethics on the part of Israel is due to the large Russian population there? The murderous nationalism in both countries has a nearly identical profile. By most accounts the Russian Israelis are almost entirely hardliners. Do they swing the vote there?
More “peacemaking”.
Is this real life?
Sad that I am able to copy/paste my comment from only 3hrs ago that totally applies, but…
Israel is going to do what it needs to do to stop the rocket attacks from Hamas.
