Palestinians Attend Friday Prayers In Mosques Reduced To Rubble By Israeli Airstrikes

Palestinians have attended Friday prayers in mosques reduced to rubble by Israeli airstrikes. This collection of pictures show the result of a near month-long air campaign focused on Gaza City, a conflict that has claimed more than 1,900 Palestinian lives, many civilian, including women and children. On Friday, cross-border attacks were resumed after Gaza militants reprised rocket attacks on Israel. Hostilities returned after a three-day cease-fire, brokered by Egypt, ended after talks on ending the blockade of Gaza stalled. Israel hit back on Friday with a series of airstrikes, one that, according to AP, killed a 10-year-old boy.
