Clouds of dust soar from all over the city.
Israel continues to carry out retaliatory raids in Gaza for over a week, with at least 42 people killed in one day yesterday, including eight children.
It is the largest daily death toll since the conflict between the two sides.
The death toll on the Palestinian side reached 188 and 1,230 injured. The death toll on the Israeli side increased to 10 and the injured to 200.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended that Hamas was a legitimate target of attack, saying that Hamas was in the building that was bombed yesterday.
They claimed to have also shared information about the bombing of the building with the United States.
The UN Security Council held its first public meeting and called for an immediate stop.

[Riyadh Almalki/Palestinian Foreign Minister: Israel is a robber who invades our (Palestine) home armed and threatens our families.] The
UN Security Council says Israeli allies. The opposition of the United States failed to adopt a joint statement in two closed meetings on the 10th and 12th.
