120 dead in Jabalia: "Can't take in what we see"
Over 120 dead Palestinians have been found after Israeli troops withdrew from the Jabalia area of northern Gaza, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports. The news agency says it has been in contact with sources at Kamal Adwan Hospital, who also say they are still looking for missing people.
- The devastation cannot be described. We cannot take in what we see, says Jabalia resident Mohammad Awais to the New York Times.
It was this weekend that Israel announced that it was withdrawing from the area after a three-week operation, writes TT. According to the military, seven dead Israeli hostages have been brought home after the operation.

Analysis: The deal could be the best chance for both Israel and Hamas
The latest proposal for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas may not be perfect. But it may be the best proposal either side will get, writes Jack Khoury in an analyzing text in Haaretz.
"However, the introduction of the agreement will not be perceived as a victory by the Palestinians. You cannot use the term 'victory' when you think of the widespread devastation in the Gaza Strip and the tens of thousands killed in the last eight months".
But neither Benjamin Netanyahu nor Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar can afford to fight forever, writes CNN's security policy analyst Peter Bergen. He does not care much for the "total victory" that Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of. After eight months of fighting, the Israeli military is estimated to have only succeeded in killing one in three Hamas members, while Israel has become increasingly isolated internationally and protests against the government within the country have grown.
"At the same time, Hamas can hardly continue to fight the war and help turn Gaza into a Mad Max-style apocalypse, while the Gazans they are supposedly fighting for succumb to starvation and die in ever-increasing numbers."

Ultra-Orthodox protest in Israel: Better the prison than the army
Ultra-Orthodox Jews blocked roads in Jerusalem on Sunday in protest against a lawsuit challenging their exemption from conscription. This is reported by AP.
"To prison and not to the army," the protesters chanted.
Ultra-Orthodox Jews can be exempted from conscription for religious studies, something that has increasingly caught the eye of other Israelis since the war in Gaza began. Hundreds of conscripts have been killed in the fighting with Hamas.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must make a decision on whether to extend or cancel the exemption by June 30. Ultra-orthodox parties in the government documents have threatened to declare a government crisis if it is withdrawn.
