Story summary

At least 17 Palestinians were killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, with one of their bodies so badly mangled that officials couldn't immediately identify them. The attack occurred just a day after Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, left the region without making any progress on implementing the "ceasefire" plan. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic, with people found in pieces and others pushed into the sea by the blast. This is part of a larger pattern of violence in Palestine, where Israeli settlers are still enforcing a siege on the village of Qusra in the occupied West Bank, and a Palestinian teen was killed in a settler raid. The incident also comes as Israel continues to reject the Trump plan for peace, with officials agreeing that they can continue carrying out "targeted" strikes on Gaza.
