    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    An Israeli strike targeting a Hamas commander in the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza has left catastrophic damage and killed a large number of people, according to eyewitnesses and medics in the enclave.

    “I was waiting in line to buy bread when suddenly and without any prior warning seven to eight missiles fell,” an eyewitness, Mohammad Ibrahim, told CNN.

    Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for the militant group, accused Israel of attempting to justify what he described as a “heinous crime against safe civilians, children, and women in Jabalya camp.”

    Eyewitness Mohammad Al Aswad described a “horrific scene” in the aftermath of the strike, telling CNN that he ran to the refugee camp to check on family after hearing the missiles land.

    Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed at least 8,485 people and injured more than 21,000, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah, which draws on information from the Hamas-controlled enclave.

    When pressed multiple times throughout a White House briefing on the Jabalya strike and on whether Israel is doing enough to protect Palestinian civilians, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US has “indications they are trying.”

      War crimes on innocent. For what? 200+ hostages and 1-2k killed. So it’s eye for eye while attacking kids? Way to go on making more people become terrorist and hate Israel more.

      Fuck Hamas and fuck Israel fuckin equally.

        It’s not that Israel is targeting civilians. It’s that it doesn’t let Hamas hide behind human shields anymore.

              Lol do you hear yourself?

              Are you insinuating that killing human shields somehow doesn’t qualify as killing civilians?

              Even the USA calls it acceptable collateral. They don’t outright deny that they’ve knowingly killed hundreds of civilians via airstrikes in Afghanistan.

                I disagree on Israel targeting civilians… It targets terrorists, who sadly sorround themselves with civilians
