2:05 pm
seen those being sprung up all across guys, outside homes. this one is pretty tight neighborhood because so many homes here was struck in what looks like the artillery barrage that we saw. and now the israeli military says that that was an operation to try to indicate that it was going to have a ground invasion drive the fighters from hamas and other fighting factions underground and into defensive positions. and then that was the huge barrage, both from the ground and from the air which was designed, the military says to try to kill and do damage to as much of hamas as military operations in this area as possible. however, what you can see here is the devastation that it's ruled on this civilian community . just take one house, for example. we went into a tiny courtyard which seemed to take a direct hit for people just blown to pieces from the same family in that team to the twenty's. the father of 3 of those young men and women was
