‘My husband was martyred,’ she can be heard yelling in horror as another woman embraces her.
It is one of the most devastating videos to have emerged online since the Israeli army began pounding the Gaza Strip.
Entire neighbourhoods have been wiped out, with residential buildings reduced to nothing more than rubble. Israel’s response comes after Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, kidnapping and killing hundreds of civilians.
More than 700 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed since Saturday, with at least 91 of them children, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
