After Biden Urged Israel to De-escalate, They Launched More Airstrikes
Israeli airstrikes against Gaza City resumed Thursday after an eight-hour pause, according to local news sources, one day after President Biden said he expected to see a “significant de-escalation” in violence in the region.
Reuters reported that the airstrikes killed one woman and wounded four children. One of children told the news service they were gathered on the couch in their home when an Israeli strike collapsed part of the building.
“We were sitting on the sofa when a missile landed. There was heavy smoke and we couldn’t see anything,” 14-year-old Amira Esleem said.
