Israeli army leaves trail of destruction in Hamad City

The Israeli military has destroyed almost 70 percent of the buildings during its incursion into Hamad City in southern Gaza's Khan Younis, an area made up of residential blocks.

“Hamad City is almost a distress area, close to 70 percent of the buildings are destroyed. Our crews are hoping to recover some of the bodies. But the civil defence crews lack heavy machinery. We really need it in these situations,” Yamen Abu Salaima, a civil defence spokesman in Khan Younis, told Al Jazeera.
