Saturday alone, mainly police stations and charities run by Hamas. Israel indiscriminate bombing of what they allege are Hamas "terrorist" outposts. At dozens of locations, entire buildings were torn down, windows of homes were smashed and countless cars damaged. Under the rubble lay dozens of corpses. One of the Israeli missiles landed in the sports field of the Islamic University of Gaza, home to more than 18,000 students.

As Israel continues its ’all-out’ murderous rampage against the people of Gaza, the so-called civilized word is mute except for a handful of nations with guts.

Hamas leaders were being joined by other Arabs in calling for retaliation. Egypt’s foreign minister said: "Everybody has to stand by the side of the Palestinian people and stop this blind military action."

The African Union today condemned Israel’s air raids on the Gaza Strip and urged the UN Security Council to "compel" Israel to declare a ceasefire.

"The (AU) Commission strongly condemns the ongoing air raids on the Gaza Strip by Israel since 27 December," the bloc said in a statement.

"This massive and disproportionate attack constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law and will further aggravate the suffering of the civilian population, which, as a result of the siege imposed by Israel, has been faced by shortages of food, medicine and fuel."

The body appealed to the UN Security Council and members of the Middle East diplomatic Quartet "to fully assume their responsibilities towards the civilians in the Gaza Strip by compelling Israel to an immediate ceasefire".

The AU also urged the world to step up efforts to provide medical and humanitarian aid to victims of the attacks.

A medical official in Gaza said at least 360 Palestinians, including more than 80 civilians and babies have been killed in the raids. Since Saturday, Gaza militants have fired more than 250 rockets and mortar rounds into Israel, killing four people and wounding two dozen more.
