We speak with Palestinian journalist Abubaker Abed in Deir al-Balah, who says the civilian population and the medical system cannot handle more war. Israel launched a massive wave of airstrikes overnight that killed hundreds of people across the territory, effectively shattering the fragile ceasefire signed in January. People have not yet recovered from the endless trauma they have been through during the past 15 months. We haven't taken a breath from what we have been enduring," says Abed.

We also speak to Palestinian human rights attorney Diana Buttu, who says Israel is bombing Palestinians because it can," knowing it will face almost no pressure from the United States or other countries. Israel knows that it can get away with it."
