A Scots university professor has told how he watched in horror as his family home in Gaza was destroyed during Israeli air strikes that were broadcast live on television.
Dr Mohammed Alshurafa thought his mum Abeer, 52, disabled dad Bahjat, 63, and youngest brother Amro, were still inside the residential building when it was hit by a rocket shortly after 3am on Sunday.
