5 Children Among 7 Killed In Israeli Air Strike

Reuters
Gaza, July 10, 2014

An Israeli air strike killed seven Palestinian civilians on Thursday, including five children, in the largest death toll from a single attack since the start of a three-day offensive against Hamas militants in Gaza, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

Residents and medical officials said an Israeli air strike bombed at least two houses in a densely populated area near Khan Younis while residents were asleep.

Bodies were pulled out of rubble from three or four homes including neighbouring structures, and the Palestinian Health Ministry said five of the dead were children. Another 16 people were also wounded in the attack, the ministry said.

The attack raised the death toll to 60 Palestinians, most of them civilians, since Tuesday, in Israel's offensive aimed at halting rocket fire at the Jewish state from coastal Gaza.

Palestinian children up? Or does that depend on how ultra-orthodox their commander is?

I hate both the rockets and the bombs but they are not the same.
Here we go again.

And they post long lists of each incident with the rocket. What I think people miss is that almost every incident says "No injuries or damage".

Rockets are bad
Bombs are worse
