Talks Fail: Israel Prepares Invasion Force–Anderson Cooper Ducks Monster Explosion In Gaza
Mediator Egypt said a deal for a truce to end the fighting could be close. The leader of Hamas said it was up to Israel to end the new conflict it had started. Israel says its strikes are to halt Palestinian missile attacks.
Twelve Palestinian civilians and four fighters were killed in the air strikes, bringing the Gaza death toll since fighting began on Wednesday to 90, more than half of them non-combatants, local officials said. Three Israeli civilians have been killed.
Anderson Cooper Ducks Huge Explosion In Gaza (VIDEO)
A huge explosion caused Anderson Cooper to duck and shout during a live report from Gaza on Sunday night.
Cooper is in the Palestinian territory to report on the ongoing conflict that erupted after Israel killed a top Hamas commander last Wednesday.
The violence has shown no signs of abating, as Israel continues hammering Gaza from the air and Hamas sends rockets back. 87 Palestinians and three Israelis have died, according to the AP.
Cooper was describing the situation in Gaza to Don Lemon when a bomb blast lit up the screen.
“Whoa!” he said, as he dove nearly out of the camera’s frame. “Well, that was a rather large explosion,” he added as he stood up straight again. “That was probably the largest explosion that we have heard just in the past — really in the past hour.” READMOREHRE
