The Israeli military said its airstrikes in Gaza killed a Hamas commander who led one of last weekend’s massacres of civilians. The region is bracing for Israeli forces to launch a ground offensive.
European Union leaders were discussing the Mideast crisis in a videoconference Tuesday when Palestinian officials reported the deaths of more than 500 people in an Israeli airstrike on a Gaza hospital.
The strike shows “the dramatic situation on the ground of the people” of Gaza, senior EU official Charles Michel said, adding that “an attack against a civilian infrastructure is not in line with international law.” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that “there is no contradiction in standing with Israel in solidarity and acting for the humanitarian needs of the Palestinians.
