Israel Targets Hamas Facilities in Gaza

Attempts to cripple the militant organization.

Israel pummeled the Gaza Strip from the air, land and sea on Tuesday, hitting government buildings, a television station and other symbols of the Hamas militant group's power in the coastal enclave.

It was one of the most intense bombardments of Israel's 22-day operation to dismantle the group's rocket-launching capabilities and destroy a network of tunnels used by Palestinian militants to funnel weapons and fighters into Israel.
