to end the blockade. that s popular century among those who don t like hamas. a lot of people on the gaza strip don t support hamas. they think it is corrupt. they think it has started too many wars with israel at too much of a cost. on this one principle that the siege of the gaza strip has to end and people have to at least be allowed to make a living and travel and live in some degree of freedom. on that point, everyone here agrees. thank you to richard engel and michael youley. we ll be right back after this.
israel has already done significant damage to hamas s terrorist infrastructure in gaza. i have also said, however, that we have serious concerned about the rise aring number of palestinian civilian deaths and the loss of israeli lives. secretary kerry will meet with allies and partners. i have instructed him to push for an immediate cessation of hostilities based on a return to the november 2012 cease-fire agreement. meanwhile secretary kerry was forced to explain a caught on mic moment yesterday. he didn t realize the mic was hot and expressed frustration are with the scale of the israeli offensive. it s a hell of a pinpoint operation. right. it s escalating significantly. it underscores the need for a cease-fire. we ve got to get over there. yep. thank you, john.

operation. we have news of the hospital in the attack there. the news is how pinpoint is this? can we give a definitive answer on that? well, it certainly doesn t seem pinpoint from where i am in gaza right now. just a short while ago, for example, a building, an apartment building, a large building was attacked by israeli fire in gaza. several people were killed including children whose bodies were thrown from the windows. we captured video ourselves. ambulance workers, volunteer workers arrived at the scene, picked up the bodies, put thim in ambulances. more aid workers rushed into the building. as they were inside, the building collapsed. more than 20 people were killed. we are hearing about 28. it s hard to know considering how many people were inside the building and now it is on top of
