CBS News video shows children among those being pulled from the rubble of an Israeli airstrike in the southern half of the Gaza Strip, where Palestinian civilians were told to seek safety.
Note: Some viewers may find the video at the top of this article distressing.In the city of Rafah, at the far southern end of the long, narrow Gaza Strip, a massive airstrike all but obliterated a residential neighborhood Tuesday as Israel continued hammering the Palestinian enclave in its war with Gaza's Hamas rulers. CBS News cameras arrived just moments after the strike razed several houses to the ground and left devastation in its wake.
The images reflect the scale of suffering being inflicted on Palestinian civilians as Israeli forces continue to lay waste to the Hamas-controlled territory, displacing an estimated 1 million people from the northern half of the strip, according to the United Nations.More than 10 days into a complete Israeli blockade of Gaza, health authorities in the enclave said Tuesday that they only had enough fuel left to keep hospitals running for another 24 hours.
