On Monday, Israel flooded the city's refugee camp with hundreds of commandos backed up by combat drones. The "Home and Garden" operation, according to commanders, attempted to clear out Palestinian terror infrastructure.

Armoured bulldozers had broken down the pavement, bursting a water main pipeline and left behind damp ditches of rubble.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said Wednesday's strikes also targeted a weapons depot

Palestine mourns the aftermath of the raid, with some residents preparing for the martyrs' funeral as the others help rebuild the camp.

According to the army, Israeli soldiers also detained over 150 suspected militants and destroyed stockpiles of weaponry and explosives, including an arsenal hidden beneath a mosque, as well as a command centre.

The Hamas leader described the event to be a "lesson in resistance and steadfastness" instead of defeat. Ismail Haniyeh, the leader said in a statement, "We say to the enemy: The time when you could practice your aggression against our people without paying the price has passed."
