Israel's military intensified its assault on Hamas militants in Gaza, as the United States and other global powers called for aid to continue flowing into the besieged strip to prevent an already grave humanitarian crisis from worsening.A Palestinian walks past a gas station that was hit in an Israeli strike in Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Tuesday.
The Ramallah-based Palestinian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that more than 120 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes that targeted inhabited homes in different areas of the Gaza Strip."We want to bring Hamas to a state of full dismantling," Halevi said in a statement late on Monday. The two freed hostages, 85-year-old Yocheved Lifshitz and 79-year-old Nurit Cooper, were taken out of Gaza at the Rafah crossing into Egypt, where they were put into ambulances, according to footage shown on Egyptian TV. The women, along with their husbands, were snatched from their homes in the kibbutz of Nir Oz near the Gaza border.
A Cairo peace summit last Saturday saw Arab leaders condemn Israel's bombardment of Gaza, but fail to agree on a joint statement. Absent were Israel and the United States. A U.S. priority is to gain time for negotiations to free other hostages, said the sources, who spoke before the hostage releases were announced on Monday.
"Already, thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the bombing of Gaza, many of them children. Hundreds of thousands have been forced from their homes," Obama said."The Israeli government's decision to cut off food, water and electricity to a captive civilian population threatens not only to worsen a growing humanitarian crisis," he added.It was not immediately clear whether Obama co-ordinated his statement with Biden, who was his vice president.
