Senior Hamas official home pounded

An ‘Israeli' army aircraft has struck the home belonging to a prominent Hamas official as Tel Aviv extends its 'all-out war' against the Gaza Strip.

It was not immediately clear whether Maher Zakut, the commander of Hamas's rocket-firing resistance forces, was in the house at the time, Jerusalem Post reported.

The strike also triggered several massive blasts in close proximity to the senior activist's house.

The assault came as ‘Israeli' fighter jets bombarded Gaza Strip for the third consecutive day on Monday. According to Palestinian medical sources, the ‘Israeli' onslaught on the coastal strip has so far claimed 345 Palestinian lives and sustained injuries upon 1550 others.

Meanwhile, the Hamas resistance movement in response to the Israeli aggression towards Palestinian civilians, fired mortar shells and rockets into ‘Israeli' settlements.

The rocket attacks have just left two ‘Israelis' killed and 14 others wounded in the coastal town of Ashkelon, and the southern town of Netivot.

'Israeli' airstrikes continue unabated in Gaza as the ‘Israeli' assault has been described as the biggest act of violence in 60 years of Palestinian-‘Israeli' conflict.

Israel's deadly attack on the impoverished strip started eight days after a six-month cease-fire between Hamas and ‘Israel' expired.
