Voice of America
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday he is not planning any “immediate” end to deadly airstrikes Sunday on Gaza, hours after his military’s jet fighters flattened three buildings and killed at least 42 people.
Since the fighting began Monday, more than 192 Palestinians have been killed, including at least 58 children and 22 women, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. At least 10 Israelis have been killed in the rocket attacks, including a six-year-old. In a televised address, Netanyahu told the Jewish state that the attacks were continuing at “full force” and will “take time.”Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike on a camp for internally displaced people in Rafah on May 27, 2024.
