Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) Target Gaza Refugee Camp in Airstrike

The Israeli military claimed to have struck a military target inside a Gaza refugee camp, resulting in dozens of civilian casualties. Palestinian media reported that five people were killed in the strike. The Israeli military described the attack as part of its strikes on "terror infrastructure and Hamas staging grounds" across Gaza. The intensity of Israeli aerial strikes has increased as preparations for a ground invasion of Gaza continue. Humanitarian groups are calling for more aid for civilians in the territory, as convoys are expected to soon stop due to Gaza running out of fuel. President Obama urged Israel to exercise restraint and abide by international law to avoid civilian suffering.
