Israel i ground forces have operated in Rafah since early May, despite widespread alarm over the fate of Palestinian civilians there and an International Court of Justice ruling. — AFP pic GAZA STRIP , June 14 — Israel i helicopters struck Rafah yesterday, residents said, with militants reporting street battles in the southern Gaza n city as US President Joe Biden called Hamas the “biggest hang-up” to another truce.
In Italy at a G7 summit, Biden called Hamas “the biggest hang-up so far” to a deal on a Gaza truce and hostage release.“I’ve laid out an approach that has been endorsed by the UN Security Council, by the G7, by the Israelis, and the biggest hang-up so far is Hamas refusing to sign on even though they have submitted something similar,” he told reporters.
Senior Hamas official Osama Hamdan said the group sought “a permanent ceasefire and complete withdrawal” of Israeli troops from Gaza, demands repeatedly rejected by Israel. The World Health Organization said more than 8,000 children aged under five had been treated for acute malnutrition in Gaza. Another displaced Gazan, Fadi Naseer, told AFP that “in normal times” homes and streets are decorated for the festival, but “today we don’t even have a house anymore, and there is nothing to decorate”.This picture taken from the central Gaza Strip town of al-Zawaida shows smoke billowing following an Israeli strike. — AFP picFallout from the Gaza war is regularly felt on the Israeli-Lebanon frontier, where deadly cross-border exchanges have escalated.
