Israeli Airstrike on Gaza Kills 23

WASHINGTON - Israeli airstrikes Sunday on Gaza City have killed 23 people, according to Gaza’s health ministry. Sunday’s strike is the deadliest since the current round of fighting broke out last week between Israel and Hamas.

Early Sunday, Israel bombed the house of Yehya Al-Sinwar, the top Hamas Leader in Gaza, on the seventh straight day of hostilities. It was not immediately clear if Sinwar was home. An Associated Press report said he was “likely in hiding along with the rest of the group’s upper echelon.” Israel’s air and artillery assaults against Palestinian militants will “continue as long as needed,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday. “You cannot hide — not above ground, and not underground. Nobody is immune,” he said, speaking to the leaders of Hamas in Gaza, and he thanked U.S. President Joe Biden and other world leaders for their support.
