120 Muslims killed in Gaza- Where is UNHRC?

Israeli warplanes kept up deadly raids on Gaza on Friday. With the violence growing worse, US President Barack Obama in a phone call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his government was willing to broker a ceasefire.

Obama said he was concerned the fighting could escalate and “called for all sides to do everything they can to protect the lives of civilians”, the White House said.

The 2012 deal, brokered by former secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Egypt, ended eight days of Israeli airstrikes on Hamas targets in a previous showdown.

Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a similar plea in a phone call to Netanyahu, urging an immediate end to the bloodshed and expressing concern over civilian casualties.

But Israel appeared bent on dealing a fatal blow to the Hamas, which controls Gaza, with Netanyahu reportedly saying talk of a ceasefire was “not even on the agenda”.

Israeli air strikes killed more than 120 Palestinians including 28 children and 1000 injured and over 200 houses demolished.

Hamas also appeared to have no interest in letting up, striking deep inside Israel over the past 48 hours, with rockets crashing down near occupied Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and even as far away as Hadera, 116 kilometres (72 miles) to the north.

Senior Hamas member and the movement’s former Gaza prime minister Ismail Haniya ruled out any backing down by the movement.

Since the start of the Israeli campaign in the early hours of Tuesday, around 95 Palestinians have been killed and more than 500 injured, according to Al Qudra.

As the number of victims in Gaza rose, Egypt opened the Rafah border crossing, with hospitals in north Sinai placed on standby to receive the wounded, Egyptian state news agency MENA said.

Israel has confirmed preparations are under way for a possible ground attack, with tanks seen massing along the border and Netanyahu facing mounting pressure from coalition hardliners to put boots back on the ground in the territory from which Israeli troops and settlers withdrew in 2005.

Since the start of the operation, the Israeli military’s biggest offensive on Gaza since November 2012, its forces have hit over 1090 “terror sites”.
