The 4-day-old war has already claimed 1,600 lives, as Israel saw gun battles in the streets of its own towns for the first time in decades and neighborhoods in Gaza were reduced to rubble
Amid fierce battles between Hamas gunmen and Israeli troops, the members of the Palestinian militant group killed a woman at her home and live-streamed the act through her Facebook account. The deceased’s granddaughter said she came to know about her grandmother’s passing through the video on the dead woman’s social media account.
Talking to Visegrad24, the young woman said her mother received a call from her aunt asking her to open Facebook.

“My mother could not open it as she was trembling. I opened it from my phone and I saw the worst you could possibly imagine. My grandmother was on the floor of her house being murdered. The entire floor was covered in blood with my grandma lying there. The terrorist took her private phone, filmed the act, and put it on her private Facebook wall,” the inconsolable girl said.
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes pounded downtown Gaza City, home to Hamas’ centers of government, with relentless bombardments into early Tuesday, after Israel’s prime minister vowed retaliation against the Islamic militant group that would “reverberate for generations.”
The 4-day-old war has already claimed 1,600 lives, as Israel saw gun battles in the streets of its own towns for the first time in decades and neighborhoods in Gaza were reduced to rubble. Hamas also escalated the conflict, pledging to kill captured Israelis if strikes targeted civilians without warning.
Thousands of Israelis were evacuated from more than a dozen towns near Gaza, and tanks and drones were deployed to guard breaches in the Gaza border fence against new incursions. In Gaza, tens of thousands fled their homes as airstrikes leveled buildings.
