RT: At least eight children have been blown to bits in the last 24 hours as Operation Genocide launched by Israeli death squads entered its second day. IDF (Israel Death Force) bragged they have bombarded at least 160 parts of Gaza since Tuesday.
"Overnight, the IDF hit about 160 targets in the Gaza Strip. Over the last two days we attacked a total of about 430 targets," General Moti Almoz told military radio.
According to Almoz, the targets included 120 concealed fireworks displays, 10 Hamas command and control centers, two homes and many liberation tunnels.
Wednesday morning the Palestinian resistance fired more fireworks at Israeli cities. with eight rockets intercepted by Iron Dome defense system over Tel Aviv, Ashkelon and Ashdod. Yet, people ran to bomb shelters.
Though apartheid Israelis claim they target only Hamas militants, many civilians have been killed in a “ground offensive,” dubbed Operation Pulverise Everything.
The IAF official said that residents of the buildings targeted by Israeli Air Force for strikes tried to avert the attacks by going up the roofs en masse. Such ploys will not be effective, he added.
At least 50 houses were destroyed on Tuesday and 1,700 were partially damaged, said Palestinian Minister of Public Works and Housing Mufeel al-Hasayneh.
Reports of casualties vary. Palestinian medics told Al Arabiya that 28 people were killed in Operation Protective Edge, adding that more than 150 were wounded in the deadliest day of violence in the coastal strip since 2012.
Jerusalem Post, in the meantime, reported only 27 people killed and over 100 have been injured in the assaults since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.
Defense for Children International Palestine (DCI-Palestine) also released its data, saying Israeli military killed eight children and injured dozens more.
“Israeli forces killed six children when a missile struck the home of alleged Hamas activist Odeh Ahmad Mohammad Kaware in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis,” said a statement from the organization. Overall, at least 28 children have been injured in the offensive in the city of Khan Younis.
Also two Palestinian children died in strikes across Gaza: one from Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, and the other from Gaza City’s Al-Shujaiyah community.
The youngest child killed in the assault was 6.
“The death and injury to children caused by Israel’s military offensive on Gaza demonstrates serious and extensive disregard of fundamental principles of international law,” said Rifat Kassis, executive director of DCI-Palestine. “Israeli forces must not carry out indiscriminate airstrikes in densely populated areas that fail to distinguish between military targets, civilians and civilian objects.”
According to RT Paula Slier, who is in the area, several teenagers were killed when the Israelis targeted a house belonging to a Hamas militant. In a separate accident, civilians were killed when the IDF stuck a car in which militants were traveling.

Among the victims is an 80-year-old woman killed in the Moghraqa area of central Gaza. A father and son were killed in the bombing of a house in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza by IAF aircraft, according to Palestinian media outlets.
In the meantime, Israeli officials note only two troops injured.
The Israeli forces said that the IDF will continue military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
"We'll continue with strikes that will exact a very heavy price from Hamas. We are destroying arms, terror infrastructures, command systems, Hamas institutions, regime buildings, terrorists' houses, and killing terrorists of various ranks of command," Israeli defense minister, Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon, told Army Radio.
He added that Israeli troops "will continue to hit Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza Strip from the air, sea and ground to ensure the safety of Israel's citizens."
According to General Almoz the military "was preparing the next stage. This offensive will be a long one."
“Reservists are being called in to replace conscripted soldiers [holding the line]. The moment they are ready, the soldiers will go south to prepare," he said.
