Israeli Strikes Flatten Gaza Mosque Containing Hidden Militant Rockets

air strikes

Israeli airstrikes targeting Hamas in Gaza hit a mosque and a center for the disabled where two women were killed Saturday, raising the Palestinian death toll from the offensive to more than 120, Palestinian officials said. The Israeli military said the mosque concealed rockets like those used in the barrage of nearly 700 fired by Gaza militants at Israel over the five-day offensive, while saying it was investigating claims about the other sites hit.

The strikes in the densely populated Gaza Strip show the challenge Israel has as it considers ground invasions posing further dangers posed to civilians while taking extensive measures to attempt to limit civilian casualties.

So far, there have been no fatalities in Israel with the Iron Dome defense missile system operating very well but Israeli citizens still have to run for safety as many of the Hamas rockets rain down in populated areas across the country. Militants have been hit hard but the exact breakdown of casualties remains unclear, dozens of the dead also have been civilians.
