Israeli troops pushed deeper into Gaza Tuesday, driving tanks and armored bulldozers through the rubble of shattered buildings and hunting for Hamas militants who carried out the worst attack in Israel’s history.
Images taken by AFP reporters in Gaza showed Palestinians combing the rubble in a desperate search for survivors, and praying over the bodies over those killed, wrapped in white shrouds. Rizk Abu Rok, a 24-year-old paramedic with the Palestinian Red Crescent, told AFP he arrived at the scene of a strike at a cafe only to find his father and several other relatives dead.
In the aftermath, images circulated of a young woman lying face down and nearly naked in the back of a pick-up truck filled with armed men. Hadas Kalderon walked through the scorched homes of the Nir Oz kibbutz, near Israel’s border with Gaza, where gunmen killed her mother and niece and seized her 12-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter.
Hisham Adwan, Gaza director of the Rafah crossing with Egypt where some aid has been allowed in, said 36 trucks had been waiting there since the previous day.
