GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Collapsed buildings, mangled infrastructure, streets turned into fields of rubble.
Israel has hit Rimal, also home to Hamas government ministries, in the 2021 war, but never like this. “Israel has destroyed the center of everything," said Palestinian businessman Ali al-Hiyak from his home near Rimal. “That is the space of our public life, our community.”After Gaza's Hamas rulers mounted the deadliest attack on Israel in decades, killing over 1,000 people and taking dozens hostage in a multi-pronged offensive, Israel unleashed what Gaza residents described as the most intense bombing campaign in recent memory, with hundreds of airstrikes Monday night.
The Israeli military's Arabic spokesperson, Avichay Adraee, said that Israel was trying to “evacuate civilian populations from areas where Hamas has a military presence” before unleashing “powerful destruction." After the militant group's unprecedented attack on Israeli civilians and soldiers, which stunned and terrorized a country long seen as invincible, analysts said it was clear the group bet all of its chips no matter the consequences. Israel was now waging a war not to repel Hamas, like in past rounds, but to destroy it.
