Meanwhile, Palestinian security sources said clashes broke out on the ground between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops raiding the Nuseirat camp under the cover of artillery and aerial bombardment. The troops withdrew, leaving several militants killed.
Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau Hamas, said in a statement that Israel’s strikes targeted children and women, stressing that the Palestinian people “will not surrender, and the resistance will continue to defend their rights.”
Palestinian Presidency spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina said the attack on the Nuseirat camp is a continuation of the “genocidal” war against the Palestinian people, for which the American administration should be held “fully responsible.”
This war will “destroy everything and push things towards a dangerous stage that will not achieve security or peace for anyone,” Abu Rudeina said in a press statement published by the Palestinian News Agency WAFA.
