Gaza City comes under air-raids
Israeli F-16s are carrying out a series of air-raids in Gaza City. Residents report huge explosions, one near the seaport that caused the ground to roll.
Residential areas are also under attack. Raed Qaddura, father of a newborn baby, reported that all his dishes and glasses were broken in the first strikes, and another strike was happening.
It appears that the main targets are training fields of the Al Qassam brigades.
