No, Israel did not bomb a refugee camp.
What happened?
On May 15, 2021, Israeli airstrikes hit a building in the Gaza Strip that housed the offices of several international media organizations, including the Associated Press and Al Jazeera. The airstrikes also killed at least 10 people, including a number of journalists.
Why did Israel bomb the building?
Israel claimed that the building was being used by Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza, to store weapons and coordinate attacks. However, there is no evidence to support this claim.
What was the international response?
The international community condemned the airstrikes and called for an independent investigation. The United States, a close ally of Israel, expressed concern about the airstrikes and called for a de-escalation of tensions.
What are the implications of the airstrikes?
The airstrikes have further strained relations between Israel and the Palestinians and raised concerns about the safety of journalists working in Gaza. The airstrikes also came at a time when Israel and Hamas were engaged in a ceasefire, which has since been broken.
What can we do to help?
You can help by calling on your government to condemn the airstrikes and demand an independent investigation. You can also donate to organizations that are providing humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza.
