It is Eid today.

We heard fireworks last night and you can hear the prayers today.

This morning we got in touch with Hint Hassan.

She's a reporter with Vice News.

She spoke to us from her hotel room in East Jerusalem, which was weirdly pretty chill.

It feels relatively calm here in comparison to other places because we're not in Gaza.

So we're not being bombed and Hamas doesn't fire rockets into East Jerusalem because

there's so many Palestinians, of course, that live here.

So it feels a little bit surreal to be witnessing in real time this war exploded around us,

but to be sat in a hotel at the moment speaking to you when it's sunny outside, relatively

calm and you can hear Eid prayers in the distance.

Tell me about the war.

Jerusalem is seeing some of the worst violence that I have seen in years.

We have over the past few weeks since we've been here.

Israel's police use stung grenades, water cannons and even recently robber bullets against

Palestinians in different locations in East Jerusalem.

And that violence has an anger and protested over into Gaza and the West Bank and Tel Aviv.

In three separate strikes, Israel again showed what it can do at will to Gaza's skyline.

We've had Hamas in Gaza firing rockets into Israel proper.

Less than an hour after the Al-Shawar building was brought down, another rocket barrage began.

Again, Israel's iron dome interceptors trying to deal with a huge number of targets.

And Israel pounding Gaza and we know that many people have died.
