    Dozens dead as Israel and Hamas escalate aerial bombardments

    Hostilities between Israel and Hamas escalated on Tuesday, raising the death toll in two days to 32 Palestinians and three people in Israel, with Israel carrying out multiple air strikes in Gaza and the militant group firing rockets at Tel Aviv.

    A 13-story residential building in Gaza collapsed after it was hit by an Israeli air strike, one of hundreds that Israel said it had carried out against Hamas targets.

    They were the most intensive aerial exchanges between Israel and Hamas since a 2014 war in Gaza, and prompted international concern that the situation could spiral out of control.

    U.N. Middle East peace envoy Tor Wennesland tweeted: "Stop the fire immediately. We're escalating towards a full scale war. Leaders on all sides have to take the responsibility of de-escalation.

    "The cost of war in Gaza is devastating & is being paid by ordinary people. UN is working w/ all sides to restore calm. Stop the violence now," he wrote.

    Into the early hours of Wednesday morning, Gazans reported their homes shaking and the sky lighting up with Israeli attacks, outgoing rockets fired by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and Israeli air defence missiles intercepting them.

    Israelis ran for shelters or flattened themselves on pavements in communities more than 70 km (45 miles) up the coast amid sounds of explosions as interceptor missiles streaked into the sky. Israel said hundreds of rockets had been fired by Palestinian militant groups.

    In Tel Aviv, air raid sirens were heard around the city. For Israel, the militants' targeting of Tel Aviv, its commercial capital, posed a new challenge in the confrontation with the Islamist Hamas group, regarded as a terrorist organisation by Israel and the United States.

    The violence followed weeks of tension in Jerusalem during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, with clashes between Israeli police and Palestinian protesters in and around Al-Aqsa Mosque, on the compound revered by Jews as Temple Mount and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

    These escalated in recent days ahead of a – now postponed - court hearing in a case that could end with Palestinian families evicted from East Jerusalem homes claimed by Jewish settlers.

    The standard answer I believe would be Iran, because of course Iran bad/Israel good. And certainly Palestinians bad.

    It's never made a lot of sense to me why Hamas would fire off these little rockets that usually wind up falling helplessly into some field, knowing full well the response will be devastating for their people. Why would you do that? Especially if you stand virtually no chance of even inflicting any real damage in doing so.

    You know what makes more sense to me? That Intel agencies like the Mossad/CIA choose their timing every now and then, and pull harmless little false flags on themselves as an excuse and pretext to go in and assert themselves militarily on these all but helpless people who are penned inside what is essentially the world's largest prison.

    Israel, aided by full compliance from the usual lap dog Western media sources, has mastered the art of playing victim while simultaneously and ruthlessly exerting full spectrum dominance. Who's going to question Israel, and who's going to seek out the Palestinian point of view? The answer is virtually no one. It's automatic.

    It's much the same with Iran, Venezuela, etc.

    That's more the way I see things there anyway. Mileage may vary.

    It is very fishy, and Gracy May as you say "...who is going to seek out the Palestinian point of view? ..virtually no one."

    I have never been able to wrap my head around this whole thing. The more I look into it, the more confused it becomes to me.

    It seems like someone is pulling the trigger over there to cause more problems in other places. Someone is stoking that fire so they can start a fire somewhere else.

    Israel-Palestine live updates: Israel threatens ground invasion, Gaza’s families flee, Gaza death toll jumps to 119

    It’s a dangerous conflict, rising more emotions and violence all around the globe.

    So after anti-semitism, we have to dwell on anti-Islamic agenda and racial hatred to make us all more sick everyday and consider the tons of CO2 from your giant fireworks are not good for you, will you keep replaying the battle for Holy City from 4000 BC on and on ..

    Probably because Hamas has been well infiltrated by Mossad; I read a detailed article about that the last time that Gaza was being heavily bombarded (2016, if I remember correctly?).

    It's well known that Yasser Arafat was turned by Mossad. They get their rewards, and the ordinary people suffer.

    I don’t understand.
    I read CNN to see what narrative they are spinning.
    CNN reports after the ceasefire Israel attacked the Al Aqua mosque during peaceful celebratory prayers.
    Al Jazeers and BBC NY times and Haaretz did not report this.
    Can anyone clarify?
    This would be very egregious if true.
    If not true, what’s CNN doing?
    If true, why aren’t the others reporting it?

    CNN reports after the ceasefire Israel attacked the Al Aqua mosque during peaceful celebratory prayers.
    Al Jazeers and BBC NY times and Haaretz did not report this.
    Can anyone clarify?
    This would be very egregious if true.
    If not true, what’s CNN doing?
    If true, why aren’t the others reporting it?
    Hi Pabranno, to find out for yourself, you should take a look around about how CNN has been reporting things. If you really are in the dark about them, you are in for a surprise. Or maybe I missed your sarcasm, and that is possible given my.current state.

    Actually, no sarcasm Patient. I look to see what they are feeding people, and where they are steering them. It’s revealing to me to read the different countries MSM. But thanks for watching my back
