>> good evening. we begin with the latest on the 21-day conflict between israel and hamas. despite calls for an immediate ceasefire from the u.n., the u.s. and other world powers, the violence continued throughout this monday, both sides trading blame for a strike on a park in gaza, which claimed the lives of nine children and one adult, and in israel, four people, we understand perhaps nine soldiers are reported to have been killed in a mar tar -- in a mortar attack. many are known to have died since july 8.

here is our report. >> i was at the hospital, and also in a refugee camp just over an hour ago. what witnesses i spoke to at the hospital, which is at this point stilled with incoming bodies and all sorts of casualties and injuries from the attack, what people at the hospital were saying is they fire two aeli drone rockets into the park, hitsing a ferris wheel. elsewhere in the camp i was speaking with witnesseses on a busy street where there was shrapnel everywhere, destroyed cars and two craters in the car where apparently a teeter-to ther which had children playing on it was destroyed. there, too, witnesses said they which drone fire hit, has caused at least a dozen

casualties and many more injured. >> that was jesse reporting from gaza. for the world's one billion james slim people, the hedigbo festival marks the end marks idol" festival the end of fasting. ramadan, islam's holiest month has been the bloodiest. these graves have been freshly dug. >> there has never been an eid-ul-fitr like this before for the palestinian field. it is really a sad state of affairs.
