Tentative trial dates set for four teens charged with murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #halifax #courtCAIRO/JERUSALEM - Israeli troops fought militants across Gaza on Wednesday, including in the southern city of Rafah that had been a refuge for civilians, in an upsurge of the more than seven-month war that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians.Antagonism between Israel and the United Nations worsened as the Israeli army sought an explanation for footage showing armed men next to U.N.
Hamas-led gunmen killed some 1,200 people in their initial raid, according to Israeli tallies, and still hold 128 hostages out of 252 they captured in their cross-border raid. In Rafah, where more than 1 million of Gaza's 2.3 million people had fled from fighting elsewhere, residents said Palestinian gunmen were trying to prevent Israeli soldiers and tanks pushing towards the centre.
"The U.N. has in part become a terrorist entity in itself because it cooperates with Hamas and covers for it," Israel's ambassador to the U.N. Gilad Erdan told Army Radio.The agency said it was examining the footage and would share information when possible. Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters the men were there to protect aid distribution.
"Despite catastrophic humanitarian needs, access restrictions & lack of safe passage obstruct efforts of humanitarian organisations to reach people across the Gaza Strip," it said on X.
