On May 10, Israel began a brutal bombardment campaign on the besieged Gaza Strip, killing at least 248 Palestinians, including 66 children.

An Israeli air raid on Gaza left the QRCS building in the besieged Strip completely demolished. However, QRCS expressed its commitment to continue its humanitarian projects to Palestinians in the occupied territories.

The 11 day bombardment ended in a Qatar and Egypt-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas on Friday.

However, only hours later, worshippers at the Al Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem were subjected to brute force attacks by occupying Israeli forces who shot rubber bullets, tear gas and sound grenades at Palestinians.
