Israeli jets bomb Gaza again amid threat of new war
Israeli aircraft have bombed a multi-story building in Gaza City amid threats of another full-scale military offensive against the besieged coastal enclave.
According to Press TV, local residents and witnesses said the explosion shook buildings in Gaza City on Thursday as dust and grey smoke filled the air. Palestinian health officials said at least four people were hurt in the airstrike.
The illegal Zionist entity has carried out over 140 strikes against the Gaza Strip in less than 24 hours. The attacks began on Wednesday night and continued into Thursday morning.
The latest aerial raid came after a long-range rocket allegedly fired from Gaza struck an uninhabited area outside the largest city in southern Israel on Thursday.
People in the Gaza Strip earlier held a funeral for the pregnant Palestinian woman and her child martyred by Israeli airstrikes. Mourners carried the bodies of Enas Khammash and her 18-month-old daughter Bayan in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called on the United Nations to stop Israel’s latest aggression against Gaza. Hamas says all resistance factions have halted firing at Israel following a flare-up.
