a symbol of palestinian nonviolent resistance in the face of what they see as the israeli occupation of palestinian activists say israel struck the boat to ruin their work but it's unclear if militants were at the marina that night in what's normally a relatively safe area of gaza more than eight hundred gazans have been injured and the health care system is struggling to keep up with. medics to truth in. it is gradually decreasing. provided with medicine it will be tough to provide such services with border crossings closed in an intensifying and this is really escalation in gaza. as this war goes on it's the palestinian civilian population that is paying the greatest price the bodies continue to arrive at gaza's hospitals israel says it's got hundreds of strikes left exactly against gaza it feels very much like this is not the end of the latest israel gaza war.

10:06 am
conducting those airstrikes naval strikes tank shelling and other forms of attack under the laws of war which bind israel as they bind any military force you cannot shoot first and ask questions later you have got to make sure that what you're shooting at is a legitimate target and if there's any doubt in your mind whether it might be civilian you have to hold fire and i'm very concerned that we are not seeing that we may be seeing the opposite we've seen virtually no accountability for a very well documented past cases of abuse of violations and even war crimes and without accountability and with impunity then abuses will obviously continue. the mounting international pressure to end the violence having no effect on the ground israeli leaders vowing to continue the gaza fence of hamas isn't backing down i've raining its rockets down on israel our middle east correspondent also here has more from tel aviv the situation here in israel is extremely tense barrages of rockets continue to be find at the country from gaza there was one incident when
