Palestinian health officials say Israeli warplanes struck a refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, killing at least 40 people and wounding dozens. Sunday’s strike came as Israel vowed to press on with its offensive to crush the territory’s Hamas rulers, despite U.S. appeals for a pause in fighting to get aid to civilians.

Arafat Abu Mashaia, who lives in the camp, said the Israeli airstrike flattened several multi-story homes where people forced out of other parts of Gaza were sheltering.

“It was a true massacre,” he said early Sunday while standing on the wreckage of destroyed homes. “All here are peaceful people. I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.”

    There are no words for that, I genuinely feel so sorry for the person.

    Yet here we are, all Presidents just staring at the result and doing nothing. Like that picture “can’t see, hear or say anything”.

    This won’t stop Hamas from existing, this will just create an entire new group that will join Hamas eventually.

    What happens to those that lost everything and everyone they cared for? They will probably join Hamas and seek revenge and they do not mind dying because inside, they already died with the ones they have lost.
