Israel steps up nighttime bombardment of Gaza

Israeli air strikes on Nuseirat in central Gaza and on al-Mawasi in the south late on Wednesday evening, local time, have caused several injuries, local reports said on Wednesday.

With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu still in Washington on a nearly week-long visit, and with ceasefire talks possibly arriving at a breakthrough, Israel has stepped up its nighttime bombings, leaving almost 100 Palestinians dead every day in the strip.
