Israeli air strikes hit Gaza
- 12 years ago
The aftermath of an Israeli air strike in the Gaza Strip.
Israeli aircraft targeted what the military said was a weapons manufacturing site in Gaza City late on Saturday, and another site on Sunday where officials said 'terrorist activity' was taking place.
This video of the second site shows damage to a Gaza home, where a two-year-old was wounded in his bedroom.
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) UM ALI AL-ZAHAMREH, MOTHER OF INJURED TWO-YEAR-OLD, SAYING:
"My son was entering the room and tucking himself into bed when the missile hit us and caused a fire in the room, and my younger son started bleeding."
Israel says the attacks were a response to the launch of four rockets from Gaza towards Israeli communities in the south of the country.
