Israeli forces targeted Gaza when Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said a day earlier that he would continue military operations on Gaza.
He said that ‘no power in the world’ could prevent Israeli troops from entering the southernmost Gaza city of Rafah, which is full of displaced Palestinians.
The Gaza Ministry of Health says that 14 people, including small children, were killed in an attack on a house in Nusrat camp in central Gaza.

This is the harshest statement by the US President on the ongoing conflict by the Israeli Prime Minister.

The president said this during an interview with Univision on Tuesday evening, in which he called the recent missile attacks on aid convoys in the Middle East “shameful”. He demanded to stop the fighting.
The statement came as The Independent revealed that during the first two months of the offensive, at least eight internal State Department staffers had been fired to express disagreement with US policy toward Israel and Gaza. Dissenting memos were sent.
A large number of internal dissent memos show strong opposition within the department to the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s aggression in Gaza. It is a formal process by which staff can raise concerns about a policy internally.
In their first telephone conversation since the World Central Kitchen attack on an aid convoy killed workers, Biden told Netanyahu last week that future U.S. policy toward Israel would be determined by will be whether or not his government takes action to protect aid workers and civilians in Gaza.
Asked during the interview whether Mr Netanyahu was more concerned about his own political survival than the national interest of his people, the US president replied: ‘Let me tell you what I think he is doing. Doing that is a mistake. I do not agree with their thinking.’

Israel Launches Devastating Airstrikes on Gaza During Eid al-Fitr Celebrations
In a devastating turn of events, Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Gaza on Wednesday, coinciding with the first day of Eid al-Fitr celebrations. The bombardment came as Palestinians had gathered to offer Fajr prayers amid the already devastated areas, leaving many innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
Thousands of worshippers had converged on the Al-Aqsa Mosque premises to offer prayers, but the joyous occasion was marred by the sounds of explosions and gunfire. Rawan Abd, a 32-year-old nurse, described the scene as the “saddest Eid ever,” saying, “You can see the sadness on people’s faces.” The usual celebrations and festivities were replaced with an atmosphere of fear and despair.
Israeli forces targeted Gaza despite warnings from international leaders to refrain from escalating the conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu had stated earlier that he would continue military operations in Gaza, defying global calls for a ceasefire. In a statement that has been met with widespread criticism, Netanyahu claimed that “no power in the world” could prevent Israeli troops from entering the southernmost Gaza city of Rafah, which is home to thousands of displaced Palestinians.
The Gaza Ministry of Health reported that 14 people, including young children, were killed in an attack on a house in Nusrat camp in central Gaza. The death toll is expected to rise as rescue efforts continue.
In a rare rebuke, US President Joe Biden has criticized Netanyahu’s approach to the Gaza conflict, calling it a “mistake.” The US President’s comments are a significant departure from the traditional US stance of unequivocal support for Israel. Biden’s statement came during an interview with Univision on Tuesday evening, in which he also condemned the recent missile attacks on aid convoys in the Middle East as ”shameful.”
The White House has been facing increasing pressure to take a more decisive stance on the conflict, with many calling for an immediate end to the violence. According to reports, at least eight internal State Department staffers have been fired for expressing disagreement with US policy toward Israel and Gaza. Dissenting memos have been sent, highlighting strong opposition within the department to the Biden administration’s support for Israel’s aggression in Gaza.
The Biden administration has been criticized for its initial response to the conflict, with many arguing that it has not done enough to pressure Israel to stop its military operations. However, the US President’s latest comments suggest a shift in tone, with Biden stating that future US policy toward Israel will be determined by whether or not its government takes action to protect aid workers and civilians in Gaza.
As the conflict continues to escalate, the international community is urging both sides to find a peaceful resolution. The people of Gaza, who have already suffered greatly, deserve an end to the violence and a chance to rebuild their lives.
