Live updates on Israel and Gaza: Eight people killed in Israeli airstrike, Gaza Health Ministry says

According to the Hamas-run Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, eight people were killed in an Israeli air strike on the UNRWA headquarters in Gaza City on Sunday.

The Israeli military said it had targeted Hamas infrastructure and taken measures to reduce the threat to civilians.

Witnesses told Reuters that the site was being used to distribute relief vouchers and water. A video shows a destroyed building and people clearing bodies from the rubble.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement on Sunday claiming there had been a “dramatic decline” in munitions supplies from the United States for about four months. He said he decided to speak publicly about it because no changes had occurred behind closed doors.

“Since the beginning of the war, the United States has supported us in spirit and material – defensively and offensively. But four months ago there was a dramatic drop in the supply of ammunition from the United States to Israel,” Netanyahu said in the statement. “For weeks we turned to our American friends and asked them to speed up the supply. We did this again and again. We did this at the highest level and at all levels, and I want to emphasize – we did this behind closed doors.”

“We have received all kinds of explanations, but one thing we have not received is that the basic situation has not changed. Certain items have arrived sporadically, but the ammunition by and large has remained behind,” Netanyahu continued.

“After months of no change in this situation, I have decided to make this public statement,” he said. “We have done so based on years of experience and the knowledge that this step is critical to eliminating the bottleneck.”

“Given what I have heard in the last 24 hours, I hope and believe that this problem will be resolved in the near future,” Netanyahu said, among other things.

Last week, Netanyahu publicly claimed that the Biden administration was largely denying military support to Israel in the wake of its ongoing war with Hamas. Biden administration officials categorically denied these allegations.

Netanyahu, referring to a recent meeting with Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Israel, said he told Blinken: “It is unbelievable that the government has withheld weapons and ammunition from Israel over the past few months.”

Blinken later declined to detail what was said in the private diplomatic talks and did not deny that he had assured Netanyahu that the United States was working to resolve bottlenecks in Israel’s supply of American weapons and ammunition.
