The AP and Reuters reports, citing sources from the site, report on a strong shelling of the city of Gaza, on which the Israeli army fired over a hundred rockets. She said that her air force was carrying out “large-scale strikes” and that the target was “terrorist sites”. According to her, her air force hit the Hamas intelligence center.
Last week, Israel bombed a number of targets of the radical movement. This includes the houses of its leading officials or a network of underground tunnels through which Hamas moves weapons.
The Israeli military admitted on Sunday that houses had fallen under a road in Gaza during an attack on the network, which claimed civilian casualties. According to the local authorities, at least 42 people died in the city on Sunday, including 16 women and ten children. About fifty other people were injured. Hamas and Islamic Jihad said 20 of the dead were among the dead, but the Israeli military said it had killed many more terrorists from the organization in a week.

Rockets also flew from Gaza to Israeli territory at night. The sirens sounded again, among others, in Ashkelon and in the city of Beersheba. There, at least two missiles were stopped by the Israeli anti-missile system, and two more fell into uninhabited territory.
The mutual shelling has been going on for a week and has claimed two hundred lives. According to Palestinian medics, 197 people died in the Gaza Strip on Sunday night, including dozens of women and minors, and 1,200 were injured. Israel claims that Hamas is deliberately hiding behind civilians.
Eight people died in Israel during the shelling. Hamas began last Monday after Israel closed their prayer sites in Jerusalem to the Palestinians and announced a plan to evict several Palestinian families from their homes to which Jewish settlers were to move.

Reporters Without Borders is calling for a raid investigation
The Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has lodged a complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the Israeli bombing of buildings in the Gaza Strip, where various media outlets had offices. The AP agency, whose office was located in the house bombed on Saturday, informed about it. The RSF is asking the ICC to investigate whether these raids were war crimes.
According to the RSF, the offices of 23 foreign and local media in the Zone have been destroyed in the last week. The international NGO complained that the Israeli military was “deliberately targeting media organizations and deliberately destroying their equipment.” According to the RSF, these attacks “reduce or destroy the media’s capacity to inform the public.”
High-rise building in the Gaza Strip, which housed the offices of the American agency AP and Qatari television al-Jazeera, the Israeli air force bombed on Saturday. The building was evacuated in advance after a warning. According to the Israeli army, the military intelligence wing of Hamas used it as a human shield. However, according to the Association of Foreign Journalists (FPA), Israel has not provided evidence that the building is indeed used by a radical movement.
