Israeli ordinance pummels Gaza City, forcing people from their homes

Global News published this video item, entitled “Israeli ordinance pummels Gaza City, forcing people from their homes” – below is their description.

A Hamas governmental compound was hit by an Israeli airstrike as the sun was setting over Gaza City on Friday, as was a building that housed the National Production Bank.

After devastating air strikes pulverized their home, families in Beit Hanoun searched for personal belongings among the rubble, watching on as a bulldozer started to work on clearing piles of debris where their homes once stood.

After days of heavy Israeli airstrikes, and then intensifying artillery fire, families in the coastal enclave that is home to 2 million people and largely shut off from the outside world in a blockade led by Israel, were also burying their dead.

Israel has launched two ground assaults on Gaza in just over a decade, in 2009 and 2014, part of a long-running standoff with Hamas, the Islamist group that has run Gaza since 2007 and whose militants have been firing rockets into Israel.

The Israeli military said on Friday that strikes were launched against Hamas and other militant targets in Gaza and it would continue to use force “if needed.”
