Report from on the ground in Gaza

From Morning Report, 8:13 am on 11 October 2023

Hamas has fired hundreds of rockets at the southern Israeli port city of Ashkelon four days after its unprecedented assault on Israel.

More than nine hundred people and taking about one hundred and fifty hostage.

The latest rocket attacks on Israel come as Israel continues to pound the Gaza Strip with the fiercest air strikes in its 75-year conflict with the Palestinians, reducing whole districts to dust despite a threat from Hamas militants to execute a hostage for every home hit.
