Israeli airstrikes destroyed a tower block in Gaza City after Hamas militants launched a rocket and air attack on Israel in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with Israel’s president, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the country, is ‘at war’.

Al Jazeera journalist Youmna El Sayed was reporting live from Gaza the moment the missile struck Palestine Tower behind her.

Sources in Gaza said at least 198 Palestinians were killed in the strikes

    The sheer number of civilian casaulties makes all of this irrelevant, and makes you an apartheid apologist. I don’t engage with supporters of apartheid regimes, so enjoy the block.

      “Hamas may be using its civilians as meat shields, but no matter how careful Israel is, you’re not allowed to call them careful because many of the meat shields still end up dying!”

      You’re a Hamas apologist. I haven’t defended anything that could be called apartheid, and wouldn’t. But go ahead and blame me for citing facts.
