Aftermath of Israel airstrikes on Gaza

Video via CNN Newsource.

Israel's military scoured the country's south for Hamas fighters and guarded breaches in its border fence with tanks on Monday, as it pounded the Gaza Strip from the air and mustered for a campaign its prime minister said would destroy “the military and governing capabilities” of the militant group.

More than two days after Hamas launched its unprecedented incursion from Gaza, the military said the fighting had largely died down for now. The attack caught Israel's vaunted military and intelligence apparatus completely off guard, bringing heavy battles to its streets for the first time in decades.

I would feel pity cause you know civilians have to suffer for the terrible policies of their leaders....then again they were celebrating a few days before.

[bryanarnold]

I see way too many walking around. Aim better Israel!!!

[kahumanu]

Shucks i feel terrible for them, then I remember watching on the previous clip the same people bashing a dead person on the back of a truck, cheering, screaming how great their God is, and people in the comments box justifying it. Its sad that it had to come to this

[drewhjc]

They should strike there again since they are all gathered there trying to clear rubble.

I feel pity for the innocent in all this, but not for Hamas terrorists and their supporters wherever you may hide, in every country!

I don't here them celebrating anymore. Isreal were just helping them be joyful with their gifted fireworks.

[subhajit]

Lol, people are so happy and blowing whistles. They care so much about their nation!

[biscuitthecat]

The Palestinians voted to put Hamas in charge of their “country”. They get what they deserve.

[StudleyDuderight]

Did Palestinians not think about the reprisal strikes that everyone else knew would happen? Gaza is about to become Dresden 2.0.
