Israeli raids are now continuing on central Gaza with vengeance. The Israeli army say they will not stop, now bombing the Gaza Strip almost simultaneously. Rafah, in the south, north of Gaza in places like Jabalia and Biet Hannon, the Israeli war machine is focusing on central Gaza.
There is no remorse here, the old/new places being targeted are Dier Al Balah in the west, and Al Maghazi and Brieij camps in the center and center east of the enclave are being bombed.
Dumb bombs and missiles thud down. People are yet to get used to the explosions suddenly made by Phantom 16 jets from the sky, centering on Al Al Breij Camp.
There is no mercy here! With every bombardment there are deaths, those injured and of course destruction of homes, houses and buildings with people scurrying around to carry those killed and wounded. Blood everywhere!
In Al Breij, struck now for the umpteenth time, Al Jazeera journalist Ashraf Abu Amra is on the scene live with lots of commentary from eyewitness reports who said the raid on the house was a big one with the killed and injured still being counted.
This was an area in Breij congested with people at this time of day. They were moving around trying to make sense of what is happening to them.
The house that was struck was full of people at the time.
“We were sitting down in the house with other young people when the raid started,” one eyewitness said.
“The house has no members of the resistance, there are no missiles here and no terrorists as the Israelis would says; all there was here, were kids and youths as you can see around you,” he added.
“But without prior warning we saw missiles land here from F16 planes.”
Another eyewitness focused on the area, congested with people outside and children playing in the street.
“In this road there are more swings for children than there are children. Anyone who looks at this street can see either young people playing with the ball or sitting on the swings; these are people who are trying to get away from the war, the hot weather, from the bad situation we are in,” he said.
“It’s more than 200 days of suffering, the world has forgot that there is here more than 2 million human beings here, civilians who neither have a gun nor able to shoot at anyone else. All we want is to live like other people in the world,”
The Israeli army has said it has started ground military operations in these areas based on sources from their intelligence services that are Palestinian resistance fighters.
But judging from the massacres we have unfortunately become used to in Gaza, the Israeli army would come in, embark on a bloody rampage of civilians, destroy the area and then leave after receiving a bloody nose from the resistance who would come from deep underground tunnels.
