Yesterday, the Israeli prime minister clarified that his security Cabinet authorized attacking “central camps,” which the UN says are housing 500,000 displaced people, and Muwasi, in addition to Gaza City, which was announced last week. He defended the action as necessary to “finish the job.” Also yesterday, five Al Jazeera journalists were killed in an Israeli strike near Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital, including reporters Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh and three cameramen, who were in a tent for journalists near the hospital’s main gate when it was struck. The Israel Defense Forces said it had targeted al-Sharif, whom it described as “the head of a terrorist cell in Hamas,” allegations that al-Sharif and Al Jazeera previously denied.
