Israel strikes house in Gaza’s al-Maghazi refugee camp
Israel strikes house in Gaza’s al-Maghazi refugee camp An Israeli air strike targeted a residential house in al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, causing extensive damage to neighbouring homes, Al Jazeera's correspondent on the ground reported on Thursday. The number of casualties has yet to be determined.
The US Board of Peace, led by former President Donald Trump, faces a roadblock in its plans to establish a military base in Gaza for troops from Morocco and Kosovo. Israel has refused to admit a US contractor, Arkel International, which had been awarded a contract to build the base. The construction of a 100m x 100m facility housing 150 rotating troops is crucial for the International Stabilization Force, which Israel claims will bring security to the region.
However, Israeli officials, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, aim to ethnically cleanse Gaza, replacing Palestinians with Jewish-only settlements. With over 74,000 Palestinians killed and over 175,000 wounded in Israel's Gaza campaign, the situation remains dire.
