Hossam Shabat, who is based in Beit Hanoun, in the northeast corner of Gaza, responded with one word: “Death.”

Rasha Abou Jalal, who is based in Gaza City, messaged: “I miraculously survived with my family last night. They bombed a house next to ours and it collapsed on our house. Thank God we were able to get out of the rubble safely but 11 people died in the house next to us.”
