Palestinian health officials in the Gaza Strip said Israeli strikes killed at least 11 people overnight into Tuesday, including a family of three in the built-up Bureij refugee camp and eight police officers.
A spokesman for Gaza’s civil defense said Tuesday that first responders have recovered the bodies of 360 people, mostly women and children, killed in the northern refugee camp of Jabaliya during a recent three-week Israeli offensive there.
The ongoing Israeli strikes and ground offensives across Gaza come as a cease-fire proposal, announced by U.S. President Joe Biden, has placed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a crossroads.
The proposal offers the possibility of ending Israel’s war against Hamas, returning scores of hostages held by the militant group and quieting fighting on the northern border with Lebanon. Although Biden said the proposal was Israeli, the Israeli leadership has appeared to distance itself from the plan, vowing to keep conducting military operations against Hamas until the group is destroyed.
