Story summary

On Tuesday, Israel launched an airstrike on a seaside cafe in Gaza City, killing at least six people, including a child. Witnesses described the scene as "people in pieces", with one victim's body so badly damaged that officials couldn't immediately identify them. This attack occurred just one day after Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, left the region without making progress on implementing the next stages of the "ceasefire" plan. Israel has continued to reject this plan and has been allowed by Israeli officials to conduct "targeted" strikes in Gaza. The violence is part of a larger pattern of Israeli aggression in the region, including a siege of the Palestinian village of Qusra in the occupied West Bank and a recent settler raid that killed a 14-year-old Palestinian boy.
