The elimination of Gaza was tested, but held

In Gaza, it is far from the fire tested with one violence This week, but hold on.

Israeli Tank Shelling killed two Palestinians on Thursday in the first bloodbath since the flights stopped on Sunday morning. The Israeli military said its forces in southern Gaza had opened fire on masked, armed suspects who moved into the army and posed a threat. The IDF said the incident took place east of the Southern Gaza town of Rafah, and in the Kerem Shalom border crossing with Israel, where aid trucks are now bringing food, water and medical supplies.

The UN says more than 650 trucks carrying food and other humanitarian supplies poured into Gaza on Thursday, slightly less than 600 on the day the cleanup deal was agreed.

Tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Gazans who fled were eagerly awaiting the coming weekend, preparing to begin their free return to the north, as agreed in the agreement. A painful sign of what to expect has already been received by those who have returned to their homes, or what is left of them, in the south.

The returnees found all the neighbors reduced to rubble, and without the heavy equipment that was really needed, they began the work of rebuilding and the evil work of finding and digging up the remains of loved ones. About 200 bodies have been recovered since Sunday, but Hamas-run Egave’s Civil Defense Defense Agency estimates that more than 10,000 bodies are under the rubble, and admits that others may not be found.

In Rafah, Mohammed Mustafa Hamelad Qeshta told the CBBS news team in Gaza on Wednesday that the IDF strike killed his brother Ibrahim in 261 days.

“Even today, we took him out with a broom,” he cried. “The whole house collapsed on him. We called the public defense, we asked for help to retrieve his body. They kept saying that they would do it, but we want to dig up his body. We decided to dig. We decided to dig up ourselves and take him out. I called my friends and we agreed to come here after the morning prayer and we got together. We got his sweat, I got the family to get him.”

Ibrahim Masoud al-Shaer’s mother told CBB news that he was given at least some closure.

“I’m happy, and these are tears of joy,” she said. “I’m glad that I found him. This is a very good moment. I was waiting for a ceasefire and then I saw him. This is a very good moment revealed to him and we found the whole body and it was not eaten by dogs.”
