It’s Day 6 and the stench of death and destruction permeates in the Israel-Palestine region as fighting continues; Israel is pounding the Gaza Strip with one of its fiercest airstrikes, with the Palestinian militant group also unleashing rocket after rocket.
In the days since Hamas’ surprise assault, images are pouring in from both regions of helpless children running through the streets and cowering in bomb shelters after airstrikes.
In Gaza, images are emerging of parents holding on to the bodies of their dead children while UNICEF and other organisations decry the indiscriminate airstrikes in the area. At the kibbutz of Be’eri and Kfar Az, the Israel Defense Forces have alleged Hamas of butchering children and beheading them. Israeli children have also been among those reported kidnapped by Hamas terrorists.
