Gaza demonstrates: As soon as the news spread about the killing of the engineer Asnan Al Ghool , thousands of Palestinians get out from their houses in a very large demonstrations throughout Gaza Strip streets, condemning the assassination of Al Ghool.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat condemned the strike, which he said "is part and parcel of Israel's escalation of violence and aggression which shows that Israel has opted for weapons rather than negotiations."

War crimes: An Israeli Apache warplane raided yesterday night the Gaza Strip City of Khanyounis killing an elderly Palestinian and wounding seven others as Israeli bulldozers knocked down 52 buildings in the Gaza Strip City of Khanyounis. Sixty year old Abdullah Abu Al Nimer arrived at the hospital after being shot during the raid of the camp.. Seven people were injured in the same incursion.. Al Nimasw camp in Khanyounis has turned into a ghost camp, where hundreds of people have no means for living in the camp.
One of the people who lost their home was a 34 year old man. He said: "We were sleeping and suddenly we heard the bulldozers demolishing our house after we heard the shelling of the Apaches. The house almost collapsed on our heads, but God's protection was good when we rushed out a few seconds before the bulldozers demolished the house."
Israeli troops stepped up their presence at different places in the Khanyounis Al Nimsawi neighborhood and began shooting heavily on Palestinian-owned houses. No injuries were reported.
Khanyounis governor Husnni Zourb condemned the incursion and invited the international community to stop the crimes that are being committed against civilians sleeping in their homes.
The homeless families have the only choice after their houses have been demolished, and that choice is to sleep in the streets, especially that winter is coming and that might not be the right solution for the large numbers to live in the streets.
Israel and as usual hasn't given any reasons of demolishing the buildings in the area. Israeli canons shelled Nasser hospital leaving 2 injured and damages to the hospital building itself.

In Gaza City also, a group of masked people tried to assassinate the head of the Palestinian intelligence services Tarek Abu Rajab, while on his way to his office in Al Sudania area in Gaza, where his two jeeps were shot at. Two of Abu Rajab's bodyguards were killed in that attack, in addition to an injury that Abu Rajab himself sustained, and he transferred to a hospital in Jerusalem for surgical treatments. The Palestinian Authority condemned the attack and considered it a way of damaging the Palestinian Authority and it's leaders. Gaza Strip is again divided by military checkpoints and all the crossing points are closed including the Rafah crossing which is considered the main and only place for citizens to get out to the world.Bulldozers were on the streets, creating blockades and blocking the roads with sand, and digging holes in the streets to make it difficult for cars and taxis to move between the Palestinian cities and camps. As a result of that people began using another bypass on the beach which is consider very dangerous as well. That step came a few days before the start of schools and Universities, which means more and more thousands of students, will have to wait at checkpoints and to use other ways instead of the main roads.
