Israel Attack On Refugee Camp

Israeli forces have been carrying out a series of airstrikes in northern Gaza. This is the moment one of the strikes hit the old Gaza City market. A residential building has also been destroyed. Other attacks have targeted areas east of Gaza City. Across the strip, Israeli military attacks have killed at least 39 people since dawn on Wednesday. Many Palestinians are believed to be trapped under rubble after those attacks.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced sanctions will be imposed on UN special rapporteur for Palestine Francesca Albanese for her investigations into Israel’s war on Gaza.
“Albanese’s campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated. We will always stand by our partners in their right to self defence,” said Rubio.
Albanese this week hit out at countries that allowed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to fly over their airspace en route to the United States, suggesting they may have flouted their obligations under international law.
Last week, Albanese called on countries to cut off all trade and financial ties with Israel, including a full arms embargo, and withdraw international support for what she called an “economy of genocide”.
“The situation in the occupied Palestinian territory is apocalyptic,” she said. “Israel is responsible for one of the cruelest genocides in modern history.”
Albanese has repeatedly criticized Israel’s deadly 21-month attack that is still ongoing in Gaza, and the military and political support given by its allies.
