Voice of America

VOA's Henry Wilkins spoke to Israelis in Jerusalem, and they said it is essential for civilians in Gaza to be protected, Dec. 9, 2023.  

Israeli warplanes targeted Gaza overnight into Saturday, a day after the the Biden administration asked the U.S. Congress to approve the sale of 45,000 shells for Israel’s Merkava tanks in the offensive against Hamas, according to a current U.S. official and a former U.S. official. 

The pounding also comes a day after the United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian cease-fire in the war, diplomatically isolating Washington as it shields its ally.
