Israel Continues Airstrikes in Gaza Amid Fragile Truce

HeadlineMar 26, 2019

Israel carried out a new wave of airstrikes on Gaza Monday in retaliation for a rocket Israeli authorities say was fired by Hamas, which destroyed a house near Tel Aviv and injured at least seven people. The airstrikes, which injured at least seven people in Gaza and destroyed several buildings, were met by additional rocket strikes from Gaza. An Egyptian-brokered truce between Hamas and Israel was announced late Monday, but Gaza residents reported more explosions and a build-up of tanks by the separation barrier with Israel on Tuesday. This is Gaza resident Yousef Abu Shaban speaking among the wreckage of Monday’s airstrikes.

Yousef Abu Shaban: “I do not know what to tell you. Where are we supposed to go? Where are we supposed to live? Our children and families have become homeless. We do not know where to go anymore.”
