A 33-year-old Dutch woman has been killed in an explosion in Gaza. Islam al-Ashqar was visiting relatives at the Nusairat refugee camp in central Gaza and was one of 22 Dutch nationals the ministry was trying to help leave. Israel bombed the local evening market in the camp on Saturday night.

One possibility I've heard is there was a rocket intercepted midair, and then that downed rocket caused a secondary explosion. That'd make everyone look bad, though, so neither side wants to talk about it.

The ground invasion (if it ever happens) will make everyone forget about this anyway though.
