Four-year-old girl killed in Israeli air strike on Gaza

GAZA CITY (AFP) � A four-year-old girl was killed and her mother wounded on Thursday in an Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip that targeted Palestinian militants after a rocket killed an Israeli, medics said.

The two were outside their house near Khan Yunes in southern Gaza when a drone fired a missile after apparently targeting armed militants in the area, witnesses said.

The Khan Yunes hospital identified the girl as Aya Al-Manjar and said her mother was critically wounded.

"The air force conducted a raid and fired at Palestinian gunmen," an Israeli military spokeswoman said.

1. This proves Ahmadinejad wrong.

He claims Israel kills children INSIDE their homes.

This article clearly states that the children killed by Israel were OUTSIDE.

2. How does Hamas live with themselves?

If they had one iota of compassion for their own people, they would stop launching rocket attacks on Israeli civilians immediately.

I realize they do not care about the life or death of Israeli civilians, but a four-year old Palestinian girl?

5. Hamas cares about nothing but violence and killing Israelis

They are in no position to govern.

Democratic elections, be damned.

These violent rejects should be thrown out and replaced by a government that actually cares about its citizens.

4. Absolutely tragic.

There need to be peace negotiations NOW.

Too many people are being killed on both sides.

And it's always the children who suffer most from war.
