>> we begin now with breaking news, al jazeera has just learned that an israeli civilian has died from a rocket fire from gaza. that is now the first israeli casualty of this conflict. israel had accept add cease fire that was brokered by egypt. but hamas rejected the plan, so the rockets from gaza never stopped. secretary of state in vienna criticized the attacks. i can not condemn strongly enough the actions of hamas, in so brazenly firing rockets in multiple numbers in the face of a goodwill effort to offer a cease fire in which egypt and israel joined together. and the international community strongly supports the idea of a cease fire. the need, the compelling need to have a cease fire. >> at the same time, this great risks in what is happening there and in the potential of the even
1:02 pm
greater escalation of violence. we don't want with to see that, nobody us the. a civilian that died in the rocket strike. >> yes, dell, this is the first fatality on the israeli side. since the conflict began, he was at what is called the cross canning is the main crossing between gaza and israeli that civilians use, that journalists use, that aid workers use. and he was -- according to the israeli military to help give food. to soldiers that were coming through there, so he was struck almost directly by mortar. this is not a rocket that's high in the air, but a mortar that is very difficult to intercept by
