Gaza City hit by heavy bombardment following Rubio’s visit to Jerusalem

There are dead, injured, and missing under the rubble after Israeli airstrikes hit a residential block near Al Shawa Square in Gaza City,’ he detailed, referring to ‘a major massacre.’ The Israeli army has not commented on the new bombardments in Gaza City. Media restrictions imposed by Israel — which has maintained a blockade on Gaza since the start of the war against Hamas — and difficulties in accessing the area prevent AFP from independently verifying the information provided by the different parties. Secretary Rubio is expected to arrive in Qatar on Tuesday as part of his official trip, after pledging, the day before in Jerusalem, ‘unwavering support’ from the United States to Israel in its goal to eradicate the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas.
