65 killed in Gaza, 7 killed in Israel as UN warns conflict could turn into 'full-scale war'

The worst violence in years between Israelis and Palestinians showed no signs of letting up Wednesday, as continued Israeli airstrikes and Hamas rocket fire prompted the United Nations to warn the conflict could mushroom into"full-scale war."

Militants in Gaza have fired more than 1,000 rockets into Israel since the latest flareup began Monday afternoon, injuring more than 200 Israeli civilians, the Israeli military said Wednesday. A six-year-old boy became the seventh Israeli fatality when a rocket fired from Gaza struck a residential building in Sderot, according to an emergency responder. Around 130 rockets hit Tel Aviv last night, forcing Israel's main international airport, Ben Gurion to close.

In Gaza, which has few bomb shelters and no air defense system, several buildings and apartments were damaged by Israeli airstrikes. One of those strikes destroyed Al-Shorouk Tower, a 14-storey building in the southern Gaza strip on Wednesday evening, the third high-rise to be targeted in recent days. The IDF said the tower housed Hamas military intelligence offices, as well as infrastructure used by"the terror organizations to communicate tactical-military information.

Omar Shaban, founder and director of PalThink for Strategic Studies, told CNN that Gazans felt trapped."I am in Gaza now. I am in my home. I cannot get out. Gaza is too small," he told CNN."You cannot escape from one place to another place." Also on Wednesday, Israeli defense minister Benny Gantz said the IDF had hit command squads and Hamas infrastructure in an hours-long"string of serious strikes.""We have hit many hundreds of targets. Buildings are falling, factories are collapsing, terror tunnels are being destroyed and commanders are being eliminated. All means and all options are on the table," he said, speaking in the city of Ashkelon, north of Gaza .

The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court warned Wednesday that possible war crimes were being committed as the conflict escalated.

What Israel is doing is not going well😪😪
