About a dozen trucks carrying desperately needed aid — the third convoy in three days — arrived inside Gaza from Egypt on Monday through Rafah, Gaza’s only crossing not controlled by Israel. The Israeli military said it had hit “over 320 military targets in the Gaza Strip” in the 24 hours up to Monday morning.
In one such operation, a 19-year-old Israeli soldier was killed and three others wounded, the army said, adding that the tank operation had aimed “to dismantle terror infrastructure… and locate missing persons and bodies”. Children killed in an Israeli air strike in the southern city of Khan Yunis were Monday laid to rest in a makeshift grave, while in Rafah men were filling plastic jerricans from portable water containers.US President Joe Biden brokered the aid convoys with Egyptian and Israeli leaders last week — but the United Nations estimates Gaza needs about 100 trucks of relief goods every day.
