In a Facebook post shared by Quds News Network and Al-Jarmaq News, Peleg expressed his happiness at the prospect of torrential winter rains, stating that it would \"not a single tent will remain\" and that he \"have no problem if people don't survive either.\" The comments come as Gaza residents struggle to cope with the recent flooding, which has displaced many and left them without proper shelter.
