because our children who were killed a few minutes ago, and the other women and children killed where every in the streets of gaza, and the other crimes in which many of our sons and daughters were killed, this is pure blood that will not be wasted. the occasion shall pay dearly for this blood. >> stephanie decker joints me live from gaza. stephanie bring us up to date on the latest fighting you have seen. >> reporter: i just want to pick up on something that he mentioned. there was a small shack on a peer that goes out to the water that was the first hit. and i took some pictures and it appears in the first picture i took, four children running away, and then there was a second strike, and it resulted in four children of one family being killed. i called the israeli army to try to get a response from them, because this is an area right in front of our hotel. we haven't seen any rockets

fired from there in the last nine days, so all of the journalistings who witnessed this, they say they are investigating and will get back to us. we haven't heard from them yet, but certainly a lot of outrage at this. it seemed to be four children simply playing, and after the first strike they ran away, and then seemed to have been hit by a second strike. >> that would seem to deny the claim by the israelis of their pain point accuracy for firing these air strikes. >> i can't speak for the israeli army, but certainly that incident that we witnessed, does call that into question. of course a lot of civilians have lost their lives here, mostly through targeting homes, buildings in this hugely densely populated area. it has been an intense day of air strikes and shelling. and people have been very concerned, nows having left

their homes after the warning from the israeli army. and coming into gaza, the schools they are being sheltered in are full. these are people that left their homes countless times before, not only did they leave a couple of days before, but during the other wars here. so they will tell you, you know, even if there is a ceasefire, which now hamas has categorically rejected, they need to address the real issue here and that's an issue of a palestinian state, and lifting the siege on gaza, the palestinian state as we know is incredibly difficult to achieve, but people say they don't see things getting better even with the ceasefire. israel controls what goods come in. israel actually controls what we eat. so that's the overwhelming feeling here, and people incredibly upset and terrified at this ongoing military operation. >> stephanie decker reporting live from gaza.

thanks, stephanie. israel prime minister benjamin netenyahu defended the air strikes on gaza. >> so for them, we have one answer. we will fight, and we will defeat you. that is something that we are committed to do, and i think that's important for peace. i think that the most important thing vis-a-vis gaza is to ensure that gaza is demilitarized, from rockets and from the attack tunnels that hamas is building into israel. this is an important part of the long-term solution. but in the immediate moment, israel has to take the actions to defending its citizens as any normal count think would against terrorists or committing double war times of targeting civilians and hiding behind civilians. >> you just heard ben

bn -- benjamin netenyahu talk about the importance of demilitarizing gaza. there is also an order to call up 8,000 more reservists to join the 40,000 who have already been mobilized. then we heard this uncompromising message from hamas. is all of this building do you see towards a possible ground offensive? >> certainly they have been heightening the states and the escalation over the last week have been quite grave and as the shootings of rockets out of gaza into israeli population centers as randomly as they are, and israeli's targeted bombing of particular community centers, and particular targets in gaza, all of that, of course, is complicating the situation. whether it will lead to an invasion on the ground, you know, israeli's more than

capable to carry also [ inaudible ], but what is clear is that it did engage from gaza unilaterally because it got tired of the gaza resistance, and occupying and managing the lives of 1.5 million palestinians who live in the oldest, gravest, and biggest refugee camp in the world today. so will they reoccupy? i think that would be a big mistake, firstly because it would be very costly, and second because they just withdrew a couple of years ago and they won't be excited about going back. >> we also saw some diplomacy away from the rocket fire. the italian foreign minister in jerusalem, and we also saw moves in brussels as the eu talk about diplomacy. what happened to the middle east

quartet? i know mr. blair is always very busy fund-raising, et cetera, et cetera, making speeches, but where is the diplomacy coming from the so-called quartet? >> well, presumably, former prime minister, tony blair who presented the quartet has been chumming up to president sisi for a while now since his elections, and i think he probably thinks he carries favor with him, and might be putting influence in him. whether tony blair was part of that egyptian lob sided initiative for ceasefire or not is not clear. but that has been silenced among other reasons because the quartet is also divided on israel and palestine. but there have been recent meetings including today about ways in which they can come up with a ceasefire, because the

egyptian israeli complicity -- the way it has been seen as a complicity to announce a ceasefire that hamas would reject, and now we're back to square one. >> thank you. >> thank you. the funeral for the first israeli killed in the conflict has been held. dozens were at the event. a 37-year-old was killed by a mortar shell fired from gaza on tuesday. that's our website that you can keep up to date with developments in gaza. there are videos, analysis, and a live blog. aljazeera.com is the site to click on to for the latest. in the netherlands a court has ruled that the netherlands is responsible for the death of more than 300 bosnian muslims
