In Gaza, Israel launched a wave of attacks on Monday, hitting a mosque, a water desalination plant and tents housing displaced Palestinians. At least seven people were killed, including two children. In central Gaza, an Israeli strike hit a house in the Bureij refugee camp, killing a 4-year-old boy. In Khan Younis, another child died from gunshot wounds after Israeli forces fired on her. This is Abu Amra, a Palestinian man at the site of the damaged mosque.
Mohammed Abu Amra: “This mosque has been here since the day we were born. Today I am about 48 years old, and I’ve always seen this mosque just as it was. The Israeli occupation is just hitting blindly. What? What are they hitting? They’re hitting, they claim — look at what the occupation is hitting. Look. Look. They say they are bombing the book of our Lord. They are bombing our mosques where we pray.”
Despite last October’s so-called ceasefire, Israeli forces have killed nearly 1,300 Palestinians in Gaza.
