underwater. you can find us on facebook and twitter. we'll see you next time. > hello, welcome to al jazeera america. i'm randall pinkston in new york, john seigenthaler has the night off. it's 11:00pm on the east coast. 8:00 p.m. in the west. won't back down. israel's operation against hamas will continue despite international pressure. calling for action - three of the world's richest men urge congress to get their act toot

and fix the crisis a the the border airborne - deadly pathogens admitted to being shipped. remembering a legend. from the civil rights to journalism - a look at the life of john seigenthaler senior. we begin in israel and gaza. it was the fourth straight day of a fight showing no sign of stopping. in gaza 120 people have died, including 24 children as israeli air strikes bombard the densely populated strip. in israel there has been no deaths, partly thanks to israel's missile defense system, stopping 140 rockets from gaza. today there were wounded when a rocket hit a gas station.

>> and the world is taking sides. in london, paris and rome thousands of protesters turned out in support of gaza, calling for an end to israeli strikes. the united nations security council drafted a statement on gaza, it will be adopted by the security council if no delegates raise objections before tomorrow morning, 9 o'clock, eastern time. the draft statement calls for a deesalation and a reinstitution of the 2012 ceasefire. it asks for respect for international humanitarian law and application of civilians and expresses support for direct negotiations between israelis and palestinians with the aim of achieving peace based on a 2-state solution. it's a statement and only legally binding even if it is adopted. the the u.s. is standing by

israel, secretary of defense chuck hagel speaking to israel saying the u.s. condemns rocket fire, reiterating the stance that israel has the right to defend itself and expresses concern about further escalation. the leaders agree to work together. we go to the latest on israel. nisreen el-shamayleh is in jerusalem. >> well, comments he made friday evening, the israeli prime minister said international pressure will not stop israel acting from what he described as militants in gaza. he said he had spoken to world leaders and discussed with them israel's right to defend himself, and the first and foremost priority is to restore calm in israel and stop the source of rocket fire, and he is exploring all possibilities to achieve the goal. exhibits the operation began the army struck more than 1,000 targets in gaza, and the pace of

the current military campaign is double that of the last military campaign in gaza, november 2012. he said the operation will end when rockets are fired at israeli territory, without setting a time frame. he did not explicitly mention a possible ground operation that is imminent. instead he said the army is ready for any possibility at this point. much of these statements, i think, are for domestic cop assumption because people are frustrated, they criticised binyamin netanyahu, and said that he has not dealt with the rocket fire from gaza, and that they expect a solution soon because they believe that they cannot go about the daily lives normally with rocket sire eps sounding in so many cities, including the commercial capital

of tel aviv, close to the border of gaza. >> nick schifrin spent the last few days in israel. tonight he is in gaza city and it's been hit by dozens of strikes since tuesday. >> good evening. the streets in gaza city are completely empty, and were empty in the middle of the day, which is rare for around here. there is so much here of more israeli strikes, and now, in gaza, there's so much mourning. >> when it comes to this war, and this is war, gazzans say, the most frequent sound is grief. and the frequent image is children missing their uncle or a woman mourning her husband. mohammed was a piousman, spending time praying, helping his nephews and nieces. he was 56.

an israeli pilot dropped a bomb on him. the community is calling him a martyr. the silence shows their rev rans. they commemorate his sacrifice. he helped the fighters to make money. >> reporter: he was 65, why would be want to be a martyr. >> our holy jerusalem destroyed. our lives. >> reporter: this is his cousin. at the local mosque he says a prayer, and mohammed's youngest relatives came to show thanks. >> translation: mohammed liked to visit and help people. >> as the crowd of nearly 1,000 walked out of the mosque, the most frequent sound is the

loudest. . >> israeli bombs shake the earth, shock waves travel through the spine. this one landed 300 feet from us, and the aftermath - part of this video is too grizzly to show. the man in blue is carrying a dead toddler. israel says the target was a palestinian fighter. we saw one woman wounded. and the scars felt by the children who were a few feet away. the women who were inconsole ail. prayers were ending as this strike happened, and you can

spell the explosive powder in the air. there's a lot of tension because a mile down here, 30-45 seconds ago there was yet another attack. today israel vowed to step up its campaign. in this war, there'll be more sound and more images. like today's. >> nick, you've been on both sides. how you israelis and gazzans coping? >> here is the difference between the two sides. we spent the last 2-3 nights during the operation on the israeli side on the border. there's fear and panic on both sides. in israel people are running for bomb shelters, air raid sirens are going off, not only on the border, but in tel aviv. less than 3% of rockets fired from gaza into israel hit a build-up area. not a single person died.

we were here for 20 minutes before we realised it was very different. the israeli military dropped 1,100 bombs from the air. drones from the see. these are huge bombs. they really, as we said shaked the ground. we could feel it through the body. that's why the streets behind me are empty and were empty this afternoon. no one wanted to venture out. >> earlier, israel phoned before dropping bombs, is that still haping? >> yes, israel has a policy of trying to warn some of the families that may be around some of the palestinian fighters. hamas, jihad, and the armed wings of the palestinian faction. they'll call the number and say

"you have 10 seconds, 5 seconds, 15 seconds to get out." the first day when a family was killed, when the call was made more ran to the roof, and an israeli official said the bomb was in the air before it was diverted. you do have psychological warfare combined with israel. we should say that more than 25% of all the people killed in the last four days, which was over 100, have been children. >> finally, are they anticipating a ground invasion by israel? >> there's a lot of fear, limited in scope into gaza. israel has not made it obvious that it's not going to do a ground invasion. the defense minister has been

talking about it. there's a lot of troops coming into the border area. there's no indication that it's imment. binyamin netanyahu used the same language about a ground invasion as he's used over the last few days, and a senior official telling me there's he's tansy among the israelis to go in. the debate is still going via israel as to wh it should happen. >> thank you nick schifrin. stay safe. we heard the statistic. gaza is a densely populated place. how does it compare to american cities. gaza is small, 25 miles long, between 4-8 miles across. the gaza strip would fit in new york city. 1.8 million live there. it pales in xorn.

to give you a sense of the density, gaza's 12,000 feet per mile - lots of people, but less densely populated than forkor san francisco. >> the name hamas is an acronym, they've been around since the late '80s, and is prepared for a long battle with israel. jonathan betz has more on the history of hamas. >> the scope has become all too familiar for far too many. rockets fire between israel and hamas. the latest round in a fight lasting decades. >> hamas launched in 1987, in the first uprising. that was followed by suicide

bombings. hamas led the way. and free pal stipe. united states, israel, europe consider hamas terrorists. when israel pulled out the gaza in 2005. its borders largely became sealed. israel opened its border, main for the seriously hurt. israel left hamas to take over the strip and ruled the land an a de facto state government. the leader lives in exile. >> people tend to make the mistake of thinking hamas has an agenda against israel. it has a domestic agenda. >> it includes running hospitals, schools, soup kitchens in an area where people live in poverty. cut off from much of the world, food is expensive and hard to find. weapons and rockets are smuggled in. sense 2012, they have grown

powerful. hamas, like syria and iran, their relationship is strained and their group strength is questioned. >> hamas is challenged internally and has been quickly weakened. >> now a look at the israeli military. israel uses fighter jets, helicopters and drones to fire missiles into gaza. it has tank and 20,000 troops on the border. warships have been firing missiles from the mediterranean sea. coming up, billionaires unite. three of the world's richest men come together to push for immigration reform. flexible future, a bendable new wave of tv screens.

by 2017 the company plans to release a screen that is flexible and transparent. >> the thing to consider is it will probably bombard us with ads and you'll watch a movie on a flexible screen, on a flight. the other thing to consider is it will make possible embedding display information into all kinds of architectural features like these. sometimes when technology is cheaper and flexible, it will give you traffic in fact and weather advisories. at that point the environment will be your personal interface. >> at the moment the display is a fragile prototype. it could be the beginning of televisions as easy to move around as a poster on the wall. coming up next - remembering the life and legacy of civil
