Gaza residents return home after airstrike ends
CCTV News Client News As Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Jihad) reached a ceasefire agreement, on the 14th, some residents of the Gaza Strip returned to their homes.
During days of conflict, many houses in the Gaza Strip were bombed by airstrikes.
Mohammad Omar, like many residents of the Gaza Strip, returned home on the 14th immediately after the ceasefire was announced. Although the sound of the airstrikes gradually subsided, it was difficult for Mohammad Omar and his family to return to their old life immediately because their house was reduced to rubble in the airstrikes. Statistics show that a total of about 60 houses in the Gaza Strip were destroyed by Israel, and about 400 people were displaced.
Mohammad Omar, a resident of the Gaza Strip: The conflict stopped and I returned home. I can’t find anything, the home has been completely devastated, my children and I have been devastated mentally and psychologically. I don’t even know what to do, whether to find food or rebuild, I don’t know.
Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Jihad) agreed to a ceasefire on the 13th. As of that day, the conflict between the two sides lasted for 5 days, resulting in the death of 33 Palestinians and one Israeli. The ceasefire agreement came into effect at 22:00 local time on the 13th. The Israeli side issued a statement thanking Egyptian President Sisi for his mediation efforts, while warning that if Israel is attacked or threatened in the future, it will “continue to use all means to protect itself.”
