Palestinians in Gaza, according to the head of UNRWA, were begging for an end to this “hell on earth.” “Deepening tragedy, endless, back in Gaza.” People require everything, are found everywhere, and live on the streets. “They beg for protection and for this hell on earth to end,” Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X. He went on, “Our colleagues are asked to do the impossible in an impossible situation.” Al Jazeera reported that the Qassam Brigades, the armed branch of Hamas, claims to have used anti-armour and mortars to target seven military vehicles in the Shujaiya district of Gaza City.
