JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli warplanes have hammered neighborhoods in the Gaza Strip, reducing buildings to rubble and sending people scrambling to find safety. Humanitarian groups are pleading for the creation of corridors that would allow them to deliver aid, saying hospitals are overwhelmed with wounded people and running out of supplies. The Israeli military said Tuesday that it had regained effective control over its south and the border with the Gaza Strip four days after the unprecedented attack by Hamas. U.S. President Joe Biden once again on Tuesday condemned the attack, calling it “pure, unadulterated evil.” In Israel and beyond, the families of more than 150 people kidnapped by Hamas and other militant groups fear for the lives of their loved ones.
