GAZA CITY: Gazan teenager Mohammed Najib said on Friday that Israel's bombardment of the coastal enclave and the barrages of rockets unleashed by Palestinian groups was like "watching a horror movie".
Najib, 16, has had a frontline view of the battles raging since Monday from his family home in Rimal, a neighbourhood close to the centre of Gaza City.
Fireballs have lit up the night sky over the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip as Israel and Palestinian groups battle, with tower buildings levelled in massive Israeli air strikes.
