Children and police officers among at least 30 killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza

Source: The Guardian

Israel has carried out some of its deadliest airstrikes on Gaza in months, killing at least 30 Palestinians, some of whom were sheltering in tent cities for displaced people.

Despite a nominal ceasefire, the Israeli military struck a police station in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood west of Gaza City on Saturday, killing 10 officers and detainees, the civil defence said. It indicated the death toll could rise as emergency responders searched for bodies.

Another strike hit an apartment in Gaza City, killing three children and two women, while seven more people were killed when Israel bombed tents in Khan Younis,southern Gaza.

The Israeli military said the attacks were carried out in response to an incident on Friday when eight armed men came out of a tunnel in Rafah, southern Gaza. The area is still under Israeli military control under the terms of the October ceasefire.

every last Palestinian is driven from Gaza, the Occupied West Bank, and East Jerusalem, as well as every last vestige of their presence ever having been there destroyed.

Bombing apartments and tents. Very noble. Apparently the, "peace treaty," only applies to one side.

Someone sees eight armed men, no one knows who or what they were, means immediately killing 30 Palestinian civilians.
