9 July 2024 Gaza attacks
[2] A multi-story building in Nuseirat refugee camp housing the Freih family was attacked by an Israeli airstrike in the morning of 9 July, causing seventeen deaths which included fourteen children and requiring neighbors to assist first responders in search for and recover survivors and victims.[1][3] A report by the IDF states that they had "eliminated dozens of terrorists and located numerous weapons" in Gaza City, and intended continue ground and tunnel raids in Shuja'iyya neighborhood.[4] The Palestinian Red Crescent reported not being able to reach the locations of several emergency calls in Gaza City due to intensive conflict and bombardment.[2] Middle East political analyst Mouin Rabbani postulated that the increased frequency and intensity of attacks on Gaza City and central Gaza were conducted by the IDF as an implicit way to decrease the chances of a fully-formed ceasefire deal with Hamas from manifesting, as well as a means to take out their anger of not being able to target Hamas and other milita leaders on civilians.He emphasized that any attempts by the United States to organize a ceasefire agreement were persistently undermined by their supplying and enabling of Israeli attacks on civilian populations.
