We asked University of Gaza Professor Abu Ala to talk about what’s happening in the Gaza Strip. Dozens of people were killed by Israeli soldiers returning to their former colonies in the military operation Summer Rain. "I’ve been hearing the gunfire and bombing since five o’clock this morning - says professor Ala -. It’s coming from the north, Beit Lahya and Beit Hanoun, where there’s an incursion by Apache combat helicopters, tanks and F16s. So far seventeen people have been killed. The bridges that connect the northern and southern parts of the Strip have been destroyed and that makes it difficult to get around for everyone”
