Tens of thousands of Palestinians seek shelter as Israeli tanks push through the central Gaza Strip, leaving destruction and death in their wake.
Warplanes flattened homes and buried families as they slept in the south of the enclave. Tens of thousands of fleeing Palestinians sought shelter yesterday as Israeli tanks pushed through the central Gaza Strip , with more than 180 people reported killed in 24 hours of airstrikes and artillery barrages on the shattered enclave. Israeli warplanes attacking the south of Gaza flattened homes and buried families as they slept, residents said.
The assaults in central and southern Gaza propelled a new exodus of people already driven from other areas in what Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant called an essential stage of Israel’s mission to destroy its foe Hamas. Twelve weeks after Hamas stormed Israeli towns, killing 1,200 people and seizing 240 hostages, Israeli forces have laid much of the Gaza Strip to waste. Nearly all of its 2.3 million people have fled their homes at least once and many are now on the move again, often reduced to taking shelter in makeshift tents or huddled under tarpaulins and plastic sheets on open ground
