Gaza civil defense says heavy strikes despite Trump appeal

Gaza's civil defense agency said Saturday that Israel carried out dozens of airstrikes and artillery shelling on Gaza City despite U.S. President Donald Trump's appeal to end bombardments after Hamas accepted a ceasefire deal.

"It was a very violent night, during which the (Israeli army) carried out dozens of airstrikes and artillery shelling on Gaza City and other areas in the Strip, despite President Trump's call to halt the bombing," civil defense spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP.

Bassal, whose agency is a rescue force which operates under Hamas authority, added that 20 homes were destroyed in the overnight bombardments.
