13-story Gaza tower wiped out by rockets - a podcast by RNZ

The situation in Israel and Palestine has continued to deteriorate this morning. 
The latest escalation occured when a 13-storey tower in Gaza containing apartments and offices used by Hamas collapsed after being struck by rockets. 
Residents of the building had been ordered to evacuate an hour and a half before the air strike occured.
Hamas launched a massive offensive in response - it says it launched 130 rockets toward Tel Aviv. 
Most of these appear to have been intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome system, but Israeli media are reporting a bus was hit near Tel Aviv. 
AFP Jerusalem reporter Daniella Cheslow spoke to Corin Dann.
