Health min' in #Gaza says doctor at Shifa hospital called to treat injured 6 year old. Got to patient, found it was his son. Boy was dead

Seriously I keep hearing the classic Nokia ring tone go off and pick up my phone only to realise that it is coming from the people near the camera on the stream.

Just saying..

Another 4 shells (presumably Israeli Navy) just heard (and the Nokia ring tone again and again I went to pick up my phone, this is seriously trolling)

ETA Another, another 4 (heard 16 in total in the last few minutes)

It must be noted that Hamas have been known to locate operations underneath hospitals, etc, so this may not be as totally ruthless as would appear to those unfamiliar with life in that part of the world.

That isn't a defence of such actions or anything like that, more a recognition that it may not be quite as ruthless as it appears.

Frankly, i feel extremely sorry for ordinary Israeli's and Palestinians who want nothing to do with either Zionist governments or Hamas - they pay the price for continuing beligerence from the leaders on either side.

So basically there is confirmation Iran is backing hamas with arms !

Options for a cease fire are getting less and less .

I'm suspicious of the fact that Israel hasn't sent in the troops already. Considering that Hamas has targeted Tel Aviv and Jerusalem (and now started blowing up buses) they are uncharacteristically restrained thus far. Yes, they've been pounding Gaza from the air and sea, but that clearly isn't going to stop the rockets in the long term....and a long term solution is what they're looking for. Either they're going to agree to a cease-fire, knowing that there's a good chance Hamas will break it - or they're going to change tactics and go after the source of the rockets instead. And we all know where that would lead them.

Hearing a lot more shelling now on AP Stream - with the echos or rather sound of shells landing not really sure if I just heard 4, 6, 8 or 12 more.

ETA: and even more whilst typing the above sentence.

Four shells fired from sea, landed far away #Gaza. Almost as soon as the sun set.

After a couple of hours of quiet (at least where I am), Israeli warships have just launched a volley of artillery shells at #Gaza. #Israel

Battleships are heavily striking at this very moment!! 5:03 PM #Gaza_Now #GazaUnderAttack

Those rounds on the reuters feed remind me of mortar fire...

4 then adjust 4 more adjust.. then fire for effect at least 10 blasts..

anyone else thinking that could be the recent sounds?

Would love to know if the translation is correct

Seems like the reuters feed is currently down?

AP Stream - just stopped broadcasting
Reuters Stream - not broadcasting
RT Stream - I cannot connect / load. (ETA RT stream is now just loud swearing for me)
Occupied Air - working for me but not showing a current picture (showing Gaza in the light, currently dusk/night time)

I suppose one could try to type the Arabic into Google translate, however, not sure I could do it myself, I have serious trouble trying to differentiate which character is which.

ETA: the Arabic isn't even what is being said it is like the title of the programme I guess, I am extra confused now.

AP Stream back up!

ETA in time to hear at least 4 more blasts (presumed Israeli Navi shelling)
