Domaine de Grand Pré’s Recipe for Award-Winning Service and Hospitality | SaltWireLONDON - Israeli air strikes devastated parts of the Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza this week, flattening buildings in a densely populated area where, Palestinian authorities say, at least 195 civilians were killed and scores more are still missing.
Turk had previously said on Oct. 7 that he was"shocked and appalled" at the killings of civilians, hostage-taking, and rocket attacks on Israel by Palestinian armed groups. The United Nations refugee agency for Palestinians said that schools used as shelters by thousands of people have been damaged in the Jabalia, Beach and Al Bureij camps, and nearly 50 of its buildings and assets have been affected across the 360 sq km Gaza Strip. The U.N. agency said that more than 70 of its staff have been killed.
The Jabalia camp decades ago evolved from its original temporary tents and huts into a maze of concrete and breeze-block buildings separated by shoulder-width alleyways. In 2009, an Israeli air strike killed senior Hamas leader Nizar Rayan and members of his family in an airstrike on his home in the camp.Reuters live footage at 1224 GMT on Tuesday Oct. 31 showed the first sign of the air strike on the Jabalia refugee camp: the camera shakes and then captures a plume of black smoke rising over northern Gaza. Details in the camera shot – a water tower, minaret, solar panels – matched satellite images of the area and confirmed the blast was in the Jabalia camp.
Bronk said that, while it was hard to do an exact weapons identification from photographs, the craters were consistent with the Israeli Air Force's standard guided air-to-surface Joint-Direct Attack Munitions - specifically GBU-31 2000lb or GBU-32 1000lb JDAMs. Israeli military spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that Biari was also"the dominant leader" of Hamas fighters operating in northern Gaza from a network of tunnels beneath the camp.
The second airstrike hit on Wednesday Nov. 1 in the Falouja neighbourhood of Jabalia refugee camp, approximately half a mile from the site of Tuesday's explosion.
