Israel threatens to widen Gaza conflict
Israel has not invaded Gaza yet - but there is still plenty of reason to believe it will. Around 60 people in Gaza are now reported dead, including six children and four adults who died today in a strike on an apartment building. The target is believed to have been a Hamas official. In Israel, the number killed remains three. Here's a bite of Alex Thomson's blog from Gaza last night after several journalists were hit by an Israeli air strike:"There is outrage here that not one but two TV buildings full of journalists have been hit today. Of course, Israel knew what these building were and targeted them specifically. The Israeli army (IDF) spokesman said: 'By placing communication infrastructure on roofs of media buildings, Hamas uses the foreign journalists as human shields.' Possibly so. Though proving if any of the many masts and antennae on these two building – probably the tallest in Gaza City, are actually Hamas equipment, is pretty much impossible. In the past the US have hit journalists in a number of conflicts in recent years from Baghdad to Belgrade. Now add to that list Israel."
