center for disabled in the gaza strict. israel said it gives 15 minutes warning for striking, this family was given 57 seconds to get out. >> he have all the news from europe including at least four people killed. >> it's argentina fans are in town. the world cup is on its way. >> the airstrikes on gaza is in

when asked if there were any links to missiles they categorically said no. >> reporter: the bomb came true the roof and hit here in the ground floor of the center. you can see there is a mattress left. there is a wheelchair that tells you exactly where peopl what people were here, disabled people. >> reporter: many people here tell us they are no longer surprised by the brutality of this war. because no one is trying to stop

their suffering, they say the international community is to blame, too. testify any decker, al jazeera, gaza. >> al jazeera's nick schifrin is following one family who was simply trying to bury their father who then became targets themselves. >> reporter: when it comes to this war and this is war, gazaens say, perhaps the most frequent sound is grief. [ crying ] >> reporter: the most frequent image is of children missing their uncle or a woman mourning her husband. mohammed was a pious man, his family says. he spent his time praying for his nephews and nieces. he was 66, and he helped fighters fire rockets. their silence shows their reverence. they commemorate what they call

a sacrifice. mohammed's family said they help the fighters to make money, and also because he believed in it. >> it has destroyed our lives. >> reporter: mohammed's cousin, at a local mosque he says a traditional prayer. and mohammed's relatives came to show thanks. >> mohammed liked visiting people, helping people, and he educated his children. >> reporter: as a crowd of a thousand walked out of the mosque they're reminded that in this war the most frequent sound is the loudest. [explosion ] israeli bombs shake the earth.

this one landed 300 feet away from us, and the aftermath part of this video is too grizzly to show. that man in blue is carrying a dead toddler. israel said the target was a palestinian fighter. at least one woman wounded and the scars felt by the children just a few feet away. the women who are inconsolable. prayers were just ending as this strike ended. you can still smell the explosive powder in the air. just a mile down, there was yet another attack. >> today israel vowed to step up its campaign which means in this war there will be more sound,

more images like today's. nick schifrin, al jazeera, gaza. >> well, video has emerged showing a father grieving the death of his three-year-old son. this is the scene of the hospital just a warning you may find the following scenes disturbing. will let's take you live to john

hedron, the fifth day of airstrikes against gaza, what's the situation there right now? >> adrian, it's those incidents that stephanie and nick were just highlighting in their stories that are really what people here are focusing on. this civilian casualties. everybody has seen some of it. in addition to the strikes that they just talked about there was a strike on the salam mosque yesterday, on the hospital, and in this case nobody was killed, but at the mosque 22 people were injured. we went to a home two hours ago and those people who were admittedly well-connected with hamas, they were given a phone call that said get out. then a warning rocket and within a minute and 10 seconds after that rocket that house was destroyed. some how everyone else made it out. but everyone has a story. i'll give you one of my own. two days ago i went home in the

morning to the hotel i'm staying in, and shipping container that had been sitting on the mediterranean had been blown up. this morning i arrive to see a ship in flames after the latest air strike. those incidents may or may not be hamas targets, but it is the civilians being killed that people here are particularly concerned about. obviously members of hamas are targets of the israelis, but it's their families who are also being killed in these airstrikes. some of the people who had been neighbors of these homes say that israelis do not always warn before they strike the house. >> first of all, they say they have struck tel aviv, and we will hit tel aviv again. >> that was just a few minutes ago. we can wait for the reports of

whether that happened. they urge journalists to watch for war crimes by the israelis. that's in reference to strikes that are killing civilians. they also issued this warning. they say prepare the iron dome because we're going to launch a new robert at you tonight. it was a three-part message that would be chilling for anybody who expects, or wants this conflict to slow down. this is the latest escalation on this side. of course, there has been a major escalation in terms of the airstrikes and sea and ground on the israeli side. the fight continues and there is no fend sight. this is just the latest volley from this side. >> john heajohn hedron in gaza.

>> notice how much time has lapsed between the warning shot and the blowing up of the house. watch this.

>> what are we to make of the so-called warning knock indicating that israel knows they're targeting the homes of civilians. it defeats the object, surely.

>> supposedly what we're seeing are precision strikes and so on. but you have to--one has to think about that term of casualties we see in gaza. sometimes there are phone calls. there is the warning shot. but we're talking about buildings in many cases have a few three floors, four floors. there are a number of argument apartments in the building. sometimes people don't understand that it is a warning. sometimes they go to the house. sometimes there isn't enough time to leave the building, there are old people or young babies, so on, so forth.

we're seeing a rising number of instances in which terrible civilian casualties result in the usage of this tactic. >> just briefly because we're running out of time. what can organizations like yours do to ensure that the israeli army is held to account if it does, indeed, breach humanitarian law? >> we document and report. we have staff and courageous people helping us document the details of these instances, and we will follow up, but we won't wait just for the follow up. it's importance for us to say at this very time when these attacks are happening to pronounce the illegality.

>> good to talk to you. many thanks. live in tel aviv there, and while we were talking we showed you that shot there, the skyline. you may have noticed some lights in the sky above tel aviv. they were earlier telling us that the brigades had issued a warning saying it was going to target tel aviv tonight and we actually saw the iron dome, israeli defense missile system intercepting missiles above, rockets above the skies of the--the streets rather, of tel aviv. now the u.n. supreme court statement calling for a cease-fire. as our diplomatic editor explains the statement was not as stuff as arab nations wanted. >> it took three days of extre

extremely tough negotiation not to come up with a legally binding resolution, but simply with a statement. there was objection to the words suggested. in the end these are the words reed out by the president of the security council. >> security council members called for de-escalation of the situation the social security members called for residential areprotection of civilians. >> they had wanted something tougher than that. they at one county came up with a draft resolution that called for an immediate, durable and fully respected cease-fire. they said that this statement had taken too long.

>> this position calls for an end against aggression against our people. more than 1,000 injured. more than 130 palestinians, most of them civilians, they say 78% of the number killed are civilians. >> meanwhile, diplomacy continues in the region. i'm told that the egyptians, the qatars and the turks are all involved in the negotiations as is tony blair, the former u.k. prime minister, who is now the negotiator on behalf of the middle east quartet. i'm also told that secretary of state john kerry is also on

their way to vienna for talks on iran's your program will also discuss gaza. but prime minister benjamin netanyahu said his country will not bow to international pressure. >> now to other news. ukraine's government said that fighter jets are bombarding to the east. with more on that we'll go to our european news center for the latest. >> reporter: yes, adrian. the army said up to a thousand armed separatists have been killed. a figure that the reps say is exaggerated. elsewhere four civilians have been killed after artillery fire hit apartment buildings. scott hidler is in the eastern city and sent this report. >> reporter: it is the escalation that everyone has been bracing for here in

donetsk. fighting has reached the eastern suburbs killing four overnight. >> at 3:00 in the morning we were hit by a wave of explosions. ten of us were thrown to the basement by the heat of the explosion. it was so scary. >> reporter: it's unclear who fired the rockets but a separatist fighter base is very close to the four buildings hit. >> reporter: this is the main road going out out of donetsk. now a lot of these people just made the decision to leave because this fighting on saturday has come even closer to the city. >> this morning i went home to the office. >> on the other side of the city the train to moscow was getting ready to leave.

>> the thumping of mortar rounds can be heard in the distance. one of those wa was this woman who was accepting off her children and her family. her daughter tells her she does not want to leave. >> we do not know what will happen to us. we hope that they will not bomb donetsk. but other hopes are weak. >> reporter: as the train pulls out of the station, the next time they speak the situation on the ground in donetsk could be completely different. >> we have a sense from your report of how people are feeling, a sense of shock, a sense of panic. what are the separatists doing? >> well, the separatists part of

doing that story, very tense border check points. we went through the first one fairly tense. outgoing firing and it was a very tense moment there as we turned around and came back for the city. as we came back in that checkpoint that we went through before they had become very tense. we went around the northern side of the city, too. there were check points. as we saw in that report the railroad station, the northern side of the city. we heard thumping of mortar rounds going out. very tense and very surreal twist. the fighters here in town, hundreds of them here they're holding a dance, a mixer at

lenin square behind me. it's very tense and that perimeter that separatist fighting attacks by the ukrainian army. >> they have reacted today. >> we're hearing seven air attacks east from where we are towards the russian border. that coming out from the anti-terror operations office in kiev. at least seven of those. we can't verify how many or to what degree the separatist fighters were damaged by that, how many were killed, how many were injured. but we know that there were at least seven. that seems to be part of a promise that the president here delivered yesterday when we had heavy losses. they had heavy losses by the ukrainian army. they said they would take the counterattack directly to them, attend sounds as show these

strings of attacks between here and the russian border will be answered against the ukrainian army forces. >> scott, thanks. watching the situation for us in donetsk. meanwhile, eu has added 11 names to those with asset freezes. alexander borodai, and sel self-proclaimed leader of people of donetsk. 72 people in all have been blacklisted. >> reporter: one of the world's extreme adventures is about to come to an end. find out who, what, why, and

team has done. >> i cannot see how people can only look at the result of just one match. if work is good there is not a fatality, a disaster that is going to change it, but i don't want to apologize or defend what happened. it doesn't interest me. what interests me is making it to the final, and i didn't make it. >> lee wellings. >> well, the brazil january public and thbrazilian public is still hurting. the 7-1 score line and performance from the brazilians mean they can't make up for it in this game. what they can do is just get some form of consolation to finish on a high. the opportunity is there for them.
