Why is Israel attacking Gaza, terrifying its residents and traumatising its children? Yesterday [13 August], an Israeli jet fired a missile full of shrapnel at an elementary School in the Al-Shati camp. Missiles and artillery are blasting large areas of Gaza around Rafah and Khan Younis.
Israeli warplanes targeted a group of citizens in the Al-Nahda neighborhood, east of Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip and even agricultural land in Sejaiya is under attack.
Stop this barbarous blitzkrieg on civilians using advanced weapons of war! This violates international law and must stop.
