GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel slammed the Gaza Strip with airstrikes, in a dramatic escalation that included bombing the home of a senior Hamas leader, and pulverizing a high-rise that housed The Associated Press and other media.

The Hamas group continued a stream of rocket volleys into Israel, including a late-night barrage on Tel Aviv. One man was killed Saturday when a rocket hit his home in a suburb of the seaside metropolis.
On Saturday, Israel bombed the home of Khalil al-Hayeh, a senior figure in Hamas’ political branch, saying the building served as part of the group’s “terrorist infrastructure.” There was no immediate report on al-Hayeh’s fate or on any casualties.
The bombing of al-Hayeh’s home showed Israel was expanding its campaign beyond just the group’s military commanders. Israel says it has killed dozens in Hamas’ military branch, though Hamas and the smaller group Islamic Jihad have only acknowledged 20 dead members.
Since the conflict began, Israel has leveled a number of Gaza City’s tallest office and residential buildings, alleging they house elements of the Hamas military infrastructure. On Saturday, it turned to the 12-story al-Jalaa Building, where the offices of the AP, the TV network Al-Jazeera and other media outlets are located, along with several floors of apartments.
“The campaign will continue as long as it is required,” Netanyahu said in a televised speech on Saturday evening. He alleged that Hamas military intelligence was operating inside the building. The military also has accused the Hamas group of using journalists as human shields
AP is a terrorist organization
While the AP condemned Israel for attacking their buildings in Gaza, Israel provided evidence that Hamas was working out of their buildings. They also showed proof that hamas was launching rockets out of their buildings while journalists were inside, yet they wouldn’t report it even.
So now I ask Phineas, Gopq, Josh, hashomer, who is the enemy of the people ? What’s fake news ? Are journalists so holy and altruistic ?
Vin please stop posting AP articles . They are the enemy.
