Gaza City: Israel pounded Gaza enclave with a barrage of missiles
from land and sea for a fifth day on Sunday, killing at least three
children, targeting media houses and threatening to “send Gaza back to
the Middle Ages”.
At least eight Palestinian journalists were injured when air raids
hit buildings housing local media offices today in strikes that have
already claimed nearly 60 lives.
While the first round of strikes destroyed a building housing Arab Al
Quds television network, the second round of raids hit a building with
offices of Sky News, al-Arabiya, and the official Hamas-run channel
al-Aqsa TV.
Even as media reports said efforts for a ceasefire were on, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel was ready to
“significantly expand” its operation in Gaza. Israel’s Interior Minister
went a step ahead when he said “the goal of the operation is to send
Gaza back to the Middle Ages”.
