THE Israeli army continued to pound the Gaza Strip on Saturday after the International Committee of the Red Cross said at least 22 people were killed in shelling that damaged its office in the besieged Palestinian territory.Exchanges of fire across the Lebanese border between Israel and the powerful Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah have also escalated in recent weeks, raising fears of an even wider war.
The Health Ministry in the Hamas-run enclave blamed the shelling on Israel, saying there were 25 killed and 50 wounded in the southern coastal Al-Mawasi area, where thousands of displaced people have been sheltering in tents.An Israeli military spokesman did not acknowledge any role in the incident but said it was 'under review.'In the north of the Strip, the director of Gaza City's Al-Ahli hospital was quoted by the territory's Health Ministry as reporting 30 dead in strikes.
