KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israeli airstrikes pounded locations across the Gaza Strip early Thursday, including parts of the south that Israel had declared safe zones, heightening fears among more than 2 million Palestinians trapped in the territory that nowhere was safe.
Hamas officials in Gaza blamed an Israeli airstrike, saying hundreds were killed.
Airstrikes also hit three residential towers in al-Zahra, within the area that was told to evacuate, the Interior Ministry in Gaza said.
Egypt must still repair the road across the border, which was cratered by Israeli airstrikes.
He also announced $100 million in humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
