Israeli airstrikes destroyed a tower block in Gaza City after Hamas militants launched a rocket and air attack on Israel in the early hours of Saturday morning.

The Israeli army launched Operation Iron Swords against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with Israel's president, Benjamin Netanyahu, saying the country, is 'at war'.

Al Jazeera journalist Youmna El Sayed was reporting live from Gaza the moment the missile struck Palestine Tower behind her.

Sources in Gaza said at least 198 Palestinians were killed in the strikes

this terrorism does not help Palestine

I never said it did.

and excusing it is disgusting.

I'm not excusing I'm explaining.

This is not equal,

Indeed. As said: On the one side a cat in a corner, on the other someone pinning it down. Who is at fault when claws go flying?

Animals are not human. Human beings have agency. These people chose to be terrorists. There is no excuse, and the victims of their terrorism are not to blame.

Humans are animals, push any of us far enough and you'll see. As said: It's easy to moralise from your desk.

...also, who are you talking about? Cutting off an area's water supply counts as terrorism in my book. Please clarify.
