let's get straight to this tweet from israeli defense forces, idf.aza terrorists have breached the cease-fire and launched a rocket at israel, hitting the huff earnca long regional council. there has been a 72-hour cease-fire under way as the peace talks have continued in cairo, so we are in just about that final hour of this temporary cease-fire. we have reporters both in gaza city and in jerusalem for you, as we have been hearing and reporting here at cnn, sirens going off, code red sirens going off in southern israel. so we have fred polite ken. at the me what you know, what you're seeing where you are. >> reporter: right now, brooke, it's still a very fluid situation. it's a very tense situation here in gaza. i would say about 45 minutes to an hour ago, we did from our position here something that might have been interpreted as being possibly an outgoing rocket that was possibly fired from here. and it was only a couple minutes later that we did get those reports from the israeli defense forces that indeed, a rocket had been fired, as you said, a

israel defense forces posted video of the strike soon after. throughout the conflict, idf's twitter feed has featured a number of photos and videos taken during israeli military operations. the page has more than 350,000 followers. recent uploads include a clip showing the destruction of hamas' network of underground tunnels. another video claims to show soldiers uncovering hidden rocket launchers in gaza. hamas' twitter page in arabic has more than 80,000 followers. many tweets link to articles and releases from its information office. hamas' military wing has also released videos online of its efforts in gaza. the recordings have shown armed fighters winding their way through elaborate underground passageways. another showed militants emerging from one tunnel to attack an israeli border outpost. hamas' english language twitter account has been suspended. they've also posted taunting videos in hebrew on youtube but they've been removed by the company under its hate speech policy. iskandar says the goal with social media campaigns shouldn't be

but in any case, somebody has violated according to the israeli defense forces, somebody has violatedrmation as to whether these rockets caused any injuries. as you know, the iron dome defense system has been very effective in preventing the kind of casualties that these rockets presumably are intended to cause. also, a lot of these rockets just aren't very effective. but as of now, the israeli defense force is saying two rockets fired from someone in gaza into southern israel. and they say the ceasefire has been broken. the israeli defense forces already planning for the end of the ceasefire. so we'll see what kind of response they give militarily, if any. anderson? >> and jake, we'll have more from you obviously in the next hour, our continuing coverage. stephen farrell from "the new york times," you actually wrote a book it's interesting. this certainly raises questions about how much control these other palestinian factions that claim they're all speaking with one voice now at the negotiating table in cairo, how much control they have over some of the factions. >> who knows who fi

where the west has been putting pressure on russia accusing moscow of supplying self defense forces with arms for affairs. which says it's another example of double standards. it is blatant hypocrisy not only as the russian foreign ministry said because they wanted to ban such supplies to have a code which but they are now giving it to this lot but because they actually defused to treat this as a conflict in the first place it's simply a rebellion and the so-called legitimate ukrainian authorities are involved in the security operation to. law and order if they raise more weapons coming the ukrainian government's way more training more where it looks pretty green for the self-defense forces this will only embolden it to go all the way in using indiscriminate violence in resolving the issue in beast its own weight . an american journalist fati is rightly video agency has been forced out of ukraine she was detained while filming in the west of the country off the ukrainian colleagues tipped off security services journalist with a camera you know just there was a rug please stick around my

near the supermarket and at the bar store there were no self-defense forces for sure. it's normally supposed to be a pleasant time summertime that is for the people of danya school shows and pictures here about the same time in previous years but ukraine's fifth biggest city was full of smiling faces of different colors when it hosted matches for the european football championships and twenty twelve that included a semifinal as well but it's hard to contemplate for us let alone the locals that the suburbs of the same city are now a total war zone and have been reduced to being states of rubble and debris just in time for the euro twenty twelve donetsk opened a brand new international airport terminal all flights now suspended and it's been the focal point of the fighting. driven to desperation by the now four month long army offensive thousands have been fleeing the conflict zone coming to russia forced to leave behind their lives and their homes artie's were for an option in our reporting or one of those border crossings. in each of these cars individual stories of an

another un school has come under fire killing at least ten people that's despite reports the israeli defense force has been scaling back its operations and winding down is the struction of hamas dolls and here's the latest from our middle east correspondent policy. this is a facility where thousands of people were seeking shelter so it is highly likely that among the casualties are going to be women and children as of yet no official comment from the israeli side but it does follow a similar incident back on when stage in that particular incident some twenty people were killed when these radios shells hit a mother un school where hundreds of displaced people were seeking shelter these waiting response to wednesday's incident is that it is investigating it there have been harsh words from the united nations which has said that they have repeatedly informed and warned the israeli army we civilians are using the facilities for seeking shelter but as i say we are waiting to hear from the israeli side regarding this latest incident it certainly follows a renewal of fighting what we know is that at leas

and and even recent the we had soldiers going from europe into israel fighting in the israeli defense force and this happens on fortunately and i think what is making the matter really in wars is. just the policies of the british government and european government which is confusing and giving counter sort of mrs johnson on one side and that is a commitment by europe to get rid of and did a government in syria. and removing by any means and then on the other side we are worried about rise of extremism and the terrorism which is really awful i mean what is. the state of the cia on iraq is doing is told to be on the acceptable alien to anything including aid into the fate of muslims as understood but overwhelming majority of us but how dangerous is the trans people actually or of volunteers turning to jihad. well i think i think i think there is over a status here i mean yes indeed there are some individuals which are said in their mind to provoke you know these leafletting industries which we just heard it really is a boy very very minute a small section of community we sharpen provocative a

israel defense forces say there will be a seven-hour humanitarian pause starting 3:00 a.m. eastern time in gaza, except for the area of rafah. it has experienced a lot of fighting and it is right by the southern border. israel will "reply with fire." the u.s. is using its strongest language yet to condemn today's deadly shelling near another united nations school being used as a shelter for 3,000 people in gaza. we know nine palestinians were killed. this is being used as a shelter for thousands of palestinians right in southern gagaza. the united states is appalled by today's disgraceful shelling outside a u.n. school in rafah. the coordinates of the school, like all u.n. facilities in gaza, have been repeatedly communicated to the israeli defense forces. it also said israel must do more to meet its own standards and avoid civilian casualties. >> the israeli defense forces say they targeted three palestinian islamic jihad members riding on a motorcycle in the vicinity of the school. idf tells cnn militants have made a special effort to fire from u.n. facilities in recent w
