An Israeli airstrike killed several people in the Shati refugee camp in Gaza on Tuesday night, according to Al Jazeera.
Footage from the scene showed bloodied victims being rushed to medical facilities following the attack. The strike targeted the camp during the night hours.
Diplomatic backlash in Poland
In a separate development on Tuesday, far-right Polish lawmaker Konrad Berkowicz sparked outrage in the Polish parliament after calling Israel the “new Third Reich.”
During a speech, Berkowicz displayed a paper flag featuring an Israeli design but with a swistka replacing the Star of David. The lawmaker, a member of the opposition Konfederacja (Confederation) party, accused Israel of committing “genocide” in Gaza.
“Israel is in the process of committing a genocide of exceptional cruelty before our very eyes,” Berkowicz told lawmakers, according to reports from r/worldnews.
He also made unverified claims regarding the use of phosphorus munitions against civilians and compared the number of children killed in Gaza to the casualties in the war in Ukraine.
The Israeli embassy in Poland condemned the display as an “antisemitic horror” and demanded that Polish authorities act against the incident.
“As Holocaust Survivors march in Auschwitz today, this vile anti-Jewish act is especially appalling,” the embassy wrote in a statement on X.
Parliamentary leaders reacted with immediate condemnation. The parliament speaker called the display of the swastika “unjustified” and announced a motion to impose penalties on Berkowicz for presenting Nazi symbols in the chamber.
Deputy Speaker Wlodzimierz Czarzasty stated that showing a swastika in the Polish parliament is “in no way justified.”
MP Slawomir Cwik called for the case to be referred to prosecutors, citing Polish laws that criminalize the promotion of Nazi symbols or incitement to hatred.
The incident occurred the same day as the annual March of the Living, a commemoration held at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
