Gaza residents say that renewed Israeli bombing ‘feels like day one of war’

Renewed Israeli air strikes on residential areas in western Gaza City have left residents trapped in their homes and in shock at the devastation. 

Israeli forces withdrew from the area for a short period of time before coming back and targeting people. 

“Last night felt like day one in the war,” Aseel Zein al-Din told Middle East Eye. 

“At around 6pm, the bombardment started throughout the city, it shook our house. We did not have internet connectivity, so we did not know where to flee,” the 23-year-old added.
