Gaza City, November 6 (RHC)-- In the Gaza Strip, four Palestinians were killed when Israeli troops shelled a home southeast of Khan Younis. Elsewhere, an Israeli airstrike leveled an apartment building in Gaza City, killing five people. 

On Tuesday, Palestinians in Gaza observed the U.S. election with a mix of dread and resignation. 

Ikram Al Hamm, a Khan Younis resident who spoke to reporters surrounded by the rubble of her home, which was destroyed by Israeli attacks.  “Here’s our destruction.  The destruction of the Gaza Strip is at the hands of the Americans.  All the explosive materials that America sends to Gaza only bring destruction.  What can we benefit from America? What will we gain from it, from the U.S. elections?  Did the U.S. president encourage us in any way?  No, he stood against us, against our kids in the Gaza Strip and against our very lives.  He destroyed us and the Gaza Strip.”
