Army claims mosque was used to store weapons; carnage continues for 7th day




The military called at least some of the houses ahead of time to warn inhabitants of an impending attack. In some cases, it also fired a sound bomb to warn away civilians before flattening the homes with powerful missiles, Palestinians and Israeli defense officials said. Israel launched the aerial campaign last week in a bid to halt intensifying rocket fire from Gaza. The offensive has dealt a heavy blow to Hamas, but has failed to halt the rocket fire.
