An injured Palestinian child being taken for medical treatment after Israeli jets hit a UNRWA school on 16 July : “We haven’t documented the latest attacks ourselves, but Israel got away with unlawful attacks on education in Palestine for years with barely a slap on the wrist. Relatives of Palestinians killed in Israeli strikes on Nuseirat camp mourn their loss at al-Aqsa hospital mortuary prior to their burial, in Deir al Balah, Gaza, on 17 July . The reported remarks align with recent reports that US intelligence believes Hamas has been seriously weakened by Israel’s military offensive.
“Israel has always ratcheted up the intensity of attacks on their opponents in the lead-up to ceasefires,” Tariq Kenney-Shawa, a policy fellow with Al-Shabaka, a Palestinian think-tank, told Al Jazeera. “They see it as a means of increasing pressure on the other side, in this case Hamas, to accede to their demands and make further concessions.”
“Israel is also more prepared to engage in more collateral damage since 7 October, and as the ground operation is less intense currently, Israel may use more air strikes – which are less specifically targeted and lead to more collateral damage.”
