Gaza Strip residents evaluated the damage done to their homes in the Sheikh Zayed area on Thursday following an attack carried out by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).

Tensions have been running high over the planned eviction of Palestinian families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in East Jerusalem and related protests. Israel has been responding with airstrikes to rockets fired from Gaza Strip since Monday.

The unfolding events mark the most heated-up escalation of the conflict since 2014.
