:00:21. > :00:28.Good afternoon. $$NEWLINEWHITE Israeli airstrikes have destroyed
:00:28. > :00:31.the headquarters of Hamas in Gaza. Hamas called the strikes "barbaric",
:00:31. > :00:34.and said neighbouring houses had been damaged. Since midnight the
:00:34. > :00:37.Israeli military says it's attacked 180 targets in Gaza. It also said
:00:37. > :00:47.that 55 rockets had been fired into Israel overnight. From Gaza, Jon
:00:47. > :00:49.
:00:49. > :00:54.Donnison sent this report. For a fourth day, Gaza has taken another
:00:54. > :00:59.pounding. With more than 200 Israeli airstrikes, so far today.
:00:59. > :01:03.Once again, people here were waking up to find their world is upturned.
:01:03. > :01:10.Just a few signs of normality are remaining.
:01:10. > :01:14.This was the house of a member of Hamas's security forces. It was hit
:01:14. > :01:21.this morning. This neighbourhood is called Jabalya. It is one of the
:01:21. > :01:27.most densely populated areas in the entire world. Most than half of
:01:27. > :01:32.Gaza's pap lated areas are children. Many of those hit are youngsters.
:01:32. > :01:38.The children's school bags are on the floor. Her three girls and two
:01:38. > :01:44.boys were all injured and taken to the hospital. She says that they
:01:44. > :01:47.were innocent civilians. Elsewhere, Israeli has targeted the
:01:47. > :01:52.headquarters of the Hamas Prime Minister. The building had been
:01:52. > :01:57.evacuated. The Hamas leaders are in hiding. In Israel, people are on
:01:57. > :02:01.the receiving end of Hamas rockets, but today, the number being fired
:02:01. > :02:05.has dropped. Israel needs to decide what winning
:02:05. > :02:10.means and how far its operation will go.
:02:10. > :02:14.With this operation, until we bring some peace and quiet and normality
:02:14. > :02:20.to 3 million Israelis, currently under immediate rocket danger.
:02:20. > :02:26.Israel has been moving its forces towards the border.
:02:26. > :02:30.For the rockets to stop it requires the removal rather than a weakening
:02:30. > :02:36.of Hamas. A full ground operation could be needed, but if Israel gets
:02:36. > :02:40.rid of Hamas, then what comes next? Our Middle East correspondent
:02:40. > :02:45.Richard gap pin is in Jerusalem for us. Richard, what do the latest
:02:45. > :02:48.attacks tell us about Israel's main aim here? Well, you know, speaking
:02:48. > :02:54.to the Israeli officials they say that the goal has been the same
:02:54. > :02:59.thing. They want to cripple Hamas and groups in the Gaza Strip, their
:02:59. > :03:04.capability of attacking Israel. That means the rocket attacks. They
:03:04. > :03:07.say even though it seems that the range of targets are expanding with
:03:07. > :03:14.the attacks on the political buildings, they are saying that the
:03:14. > :03:18.goals are the same. They want to stop the rocket attacks. They don't
:03:18. > :03:22.make distinctions between the Hamas political wing or the military wing.
:03:22. > :03:27.They want to end this knowing that there will be quiet in southern
:03:27. > :03:31.Israel. So no more rockets to be fired towards Israeli towns. An
:03:31. > :03:35.official described it as creating a new reality in the area, but still,
:03:35. > :03:39.you know, it is very difficult. How will they decide that they have
:03:39. > :03:44.managed to achieve that? I think one way that they are saying is
:03:44. > :03:48.making Hamas realise that the price of firing rockets is simply too
:03:48. > :03:54.high, not least in terms of public opinion. The Palestinians in Gaza,
:03:54. > :03:57.how they are viewing Hamas. Thank you.
:03:57. > :04:02.47 children have died in Egypt when the school bus collided with a
:04:02. > :04:08.train on a level close crossing. The children, aged between four and
:04:08. > :04:13.six years old were travelling near the city of Manfalut, 180 miles
:04:13. > :04:17.south of Cairo. Egypt's Transport Minister resigned.

:05:49. > :05:55.in such a big way, to be able to tell people to help is very
:05:55. > :05:58.important. Alfie, what, at the public? Good. I might need a drink
:05:58. > :06:02.after this. As always there were appearances
:06:02. > :06:09.from big names in entertainment. Not to mention the BBC News readers
