*Video hard for my computer to load, but comes through eventually.*

Picture from space is of explosions described as being over both Israel and Gaza at the same time.

*Continues with news on ceasefire that is over part of the video with bloody scenes, including people on stretchers, and a school desk seat with blood.*

It may be a trigger, thus the warning.

This was a week ago but it is in their 'breaking news' section.

Don't see it posted or know if there is a ceasefire in effect today.
