Domaine de Grand Pré’s Recipe for Award-Winning Service and Hospitality | SaltWireGAZA/AMMAN - The United States and its Arab allies appeared divided over Israel's military offensive in Gaza to defeat Hamas, as Washington, alongside Israel, resisted pressure for an immediate ceasefire despite the rising death toll among Palestinian civilians.
Palestinian news agency WAFA said 51 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed and scores wounded in an Israeli bombardment of Gaza's Maghazi refugee camp on Saturday night. Reuters could not independently verify the WAFA report.
Palestinian witnesses said Israel hit Al-Fakhoura school in Jabalia, where thousands of evacuees were living, earlier on Saturday. The Israeli military said a preliminary inquiry suggested it had not targeted the location"but the explosion may have been a result of IDF fire aimed at another target".
This year had already been the deadliest for West Bank residents in at least 15 years, with some 200 Palestinians and 26 Israelis killed, according to United Nations data. Another 121 West Bank Palestinians have been killed since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.
