According to the Al-Jazeera media, Israeli Army aircraft have attacked high-rise buildings in the Gaza Strip. On 13 May, the Palestinians celebrated the religious day Eid al-Fitr, which was awakened by relentless air bombardment.

Israeli Army spokesman Jonathan Conricus has assured that the attacks on Gaza will continue and that Israel is preparing for "many scenarios". The Israeli Defence Minister, Benny Gantzarain, has said that the military operation has no "end date". "Skyscrapers fall in Gaza, companies are destroyed, tunnels fade and military warlords are bombing and then silence will come for a long time," said the Minister of Defense.

In the face of Israel's threats, Hamas has not remained silent, and its leader, Ismail Haniya, has stated: “If Israel wants to harden the situation, we are prepared for it, and even if it wants to stop, we are ready.”

Israel has deployed over 500 bombings against Gaza and is preparing a land offensive against the strip of Gaza.El The UN Security Council met on 12 May, but they were unable to reach an agreement to reduce tension due to opposition from the United States.

During the bombings, journalist Reema Saad was murdered along with her husband and two children of Ecuadorian nationality. Reema was pregnant.
