Re: Israel Dropping Bombs on Palestine
Black smoke billows after a series of Israeli airstrikes targeted Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza strip early on Wednesday. According to military experts, the plumes of smoke seen rising suggest the Israelis are deploying bunker buster bombs, targeting underground infrastructures. It comes as Israel said the militants have fired more than 1,050 rockets since Monday, killing five civilians, including an Arab-Israeli girl in the city of Lod. Rockets were first fired on Monday as Hamas carried out a threat to strike Israel unless it withdrew security forces from the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem after days of clashes with Palestinian protesters there. Around 200 of the rockets fell short and landed inside Gaza, injuring many of their own, while the vast majority have been intercepted by the Iron Dome system. In Tel Aviv a scene of carnage unfolded last night as a bus was engulfed by flames after being hit by a rocket. Further along the street, other vehicles were also on fire. The flames from the bus leapt up into the air while explosions could be heard from the vehicle as black smoke billowed into the air. More than a hundred Hamas rockets were launched at Tel Avi last night after a tower block in Gaza suspected of being a Hamas headquarters was destroyed by an Israeli air strike. At least 48 Palestinians, including 14 children and three women, have died in the strikes so far, according to the Health Ministry, with hundreds more wounded. Six Israelis, including three women and a child, have been killed by rocket fire with dozens more hurt. A never ending story |
