At least five Palestinians were killed as IAF aircraft continued to hammer Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip late Saturday night and early Sunday.
Palestinians said aircraft targeted a mosque near Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, destroying it. Two bodies were retrieved from the rubble. The army said the mosque was a base for terrorist activities.
Isn't 'mosque' the Arabic word for 'weapons depot'? | Palestinian sources reported early Sunday morning that IAF aircraft had targeted the Al Aqsa TV station used by Hamas. The studio building was destroyed, but the station remained on the air with a mobile unit, the sources said.
Palestinians counted about 20 air-strikes in the first hours of Sunday.
On Saturday night, an IAF aircraft attacked a Kassam launching crew in, killing three of its members. Palestinians said four others were wounded in the attack.
More than 170 targets were hit by IAF aircraft throughout Saturday. At least 230 Gazans were killed and over 780 were wounded, according to Palestinian sources. Officials said at least 15 civilians were among the dead. |
