Children Are Being Killed in Gaza
Children Are Being Killed in Gaza
At least 30 children killed in Gaza Strip
Gaza / PNN – Not only are children in the Gaza Strip losing their parents, missing food, medicines and school, they are being killed.
Israeli forces took the lives of at least 30 children in Gaza since air attacks began on Saturday. A statement issued by the Global Movement for the Defense of Children says its initial reports indicate that another 150 children are injured.
The first child More..ren hit en masse were during struck during the beginning of the attacks when they were leaving school. Dozens of school children were raced to area hospitals in Gaza City on Saturday. Among the children killed are the sisters in Jabaliya yesterday and the eight year old boy today in Khan Younis.
The British university movement to boycott Israel wrote in their petition, "'Children,' says an Israeli spokeswoman, 'are legitimate targets because if they inhabit a house allegedly being used to manufacture home-made rockets to fire into Israel, they are 'terrorists' themselves.'"
The international children’s agency Global Defense for Children called today on the United Nations Security Council to convene an emergency session. The UNSC has yet to take effective action to force Israel to stop its aggression or apply previous UN resolutions, which include an end to occupation.
Defense for Children asked that the European Union and its member states seek to for the application of the rules of international humanitarian law. The Israeli administration has a poor record internationally when it comes to Palestinian children with at least 300 in its prisons.
The EU is under heavy pressure by humanitarian organizations to impose sanctions on Israel and to cease all diplomatic relations.
At the same time the High Contracting Parties to the Geneva Conventions are obliged to respect and enforce the convention as stated in Article I. Those who violate it are subject to criminal charges of crimes against humanity. The Global Defense for Children noted today that the individual criminal responsibility does not become obsolete and that at some point all will be prosecuted.

Israeli attacks rage on Monday, 345 Palestinians killed, 1,450 injured
Gaza / PNN – Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip are unrelenting since the first bomb of this major operation was dropped on Saturday at 11:30 am. The death toll has reached 345 Palestinians with 1,450 injured at 6:00 pm Monday.
Palestinian medical sources report that among the injured are 850 still in overflowing Gaza hospitals. As the sun set another seven passersby were killed in the norther More..n Strip's Beit Lahia when Israeli forces shelled the home of Al Qassam leader Maher Zakout.
Just before that Israeli forces killed a police officer and an employee of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency in an attack on Khan Younis in the southern Strip.
Five sisters were among those killed during the predawn hours Monday, among them a four year old. Later today Israeli forces killed five more people, including a leader in Saraya Al Quds, Ziad Abu Tair and an eight year old from the same family in Abassan near an eastern Khan Younis mosque this afternoon.
In the second death due to projectiles an Israeli was killed in Askelon late Monday morning, where 14 others are reported injured.
Palestinian security sources and witnesses report this morning that after last night’s shelling of Islamic University Israeli warplanes returned for further destruction hitting a women's dormitory. The Gaza university that was targeted is in the center of the city, heavily populated. Ambulances and rescuers rushed to the area and began searching for victims.
An eyewitness said, “F16 warplanes bombed academic buildings and the laboratories building. The university is on fire.”
Israeli war ships shelled the presidential offices in western Gaza City, Al Muntada, after sunrise this morning. At approximately 2:00 am Israeli forces killed two Palestinians and injured 11 in an air strike that targeted a house in the southern Strip’s Rafah. Palestinian medical sources report that the house belonged to a leader in Hamas who was killed along with his children. A source in Rafah’s Abu Yousef Najjar Hospital said, “We have two children killed in an Israeli air strike on the city of Rafah and at least 11 others wounded.” Another Hamas member's home was hit near that of Prime Minister Ismail Haniya. The Ministry of Interior said that 180 employees have been killed. Among the initial targets of the first air raid was a graduating class of traffic police.
About half an hour prior to that bombardment, Israeli forces killed four Palestinians in an air raid that targeted a mosque in the Jabaliya Refugee Camp northeast of Gaza City. Palestinian medical sources report that in addition to killing four people, the Israeli attack on the mosque injured 15. Dr. Muawiya Hassanein, Director General of Ambulances and Emergency at the Ministry of Health, said that "the number increased to four martyrs in the air raid on a mosque in Jabaliya Refugee Camp after the evacuation of two more bodies.” The doctor added that those killed were five sisters from the Balousha family, one of them four years old. Eyewitnesses reported that the F16 aircraft bombed Imad Akel mosque with one missile at least. Large numbers of people from the camp had sought refuge there. The mother of the girls was transporting other children to a safer area when her daughters were hit. Israeli F16s and Apaches continue to target government offices in all governorates of the Gaza Strip, including the Rafah Municipality. Also being hit are “metal workshops and the port of fishermen in Gaza,” witnesses said. A 14 month old was also killed in Jabaliya.
The Israeli aircraft and warships are continuing for third consecutive day the bombing in the Gaza Strip. The death toll is at 307 as of Monday at 10:30 am, with the number of critical injuries between 180 and 200. The number of other wounded has exceeded 1,000. The Israeli administration continues to say that this is only the beginning of the attack that has a great deal of international support. The United States and Britain continue to claim that the Israeli attack is in response to “rocket fire,” while failing to note that projectile launches cause little damage and few injuries. One Israeli was killed from projectiles launched in response to the month and a half of complete closure which followed a year and a half of siege.
Israeli warplanes also bombed the southern Rafah area that was once home to thousands of Palestinians. Israeli bulldozers leveled the neighborhoods in 2003 and now refer to it as the “Philadelphi” route. Tens of tunnels were dug as a source for smuggling goods during the siege that left fuel and food scarce. Last night’s bombing killed two people and injured 22. Hundreds of citizens attempted to flee the southern Gaza Strip city by rushing the border with Egypt. Many got through while Egyptian border guards killed one Palestinian.
Eyewitnesses reported that hundreds of workers from the tunnels and ordinary citizens flocked toward the border wall in an attempt to maneuver around to Egyptian territory. However, Egyptian security forces opened fire “in the air” as they claim, but nonetheless killed one Palestinian and injured several others. Israeli forces say they destroyed 40 tunnels in the four minute attack carried out by a large number of warplanes.
The witnesses said that about 20 missiles were fired towards the positions of the Palestinian national security and the tunnels that “provide the fuel to the Strip caught fire along the border.”
In Gaza City warplanes fired three missiles into a government building downtown that housed the city jail. Smoke billowed from the site after the Israeli attack killed four detainees and guards.
Further north another bombing targeted the headquarters of the municipality of Beit Hanoun. Back in the south’s Rafah Israeli warplanes hit the provisional headquarters of the province where six people were killed. In eastern Gaza City’s Al Zeitoun neighborhood Israeli forces then targeted a jeep before a raid on the Jabaliya market where three people were killed. The Israeli forces then targeted the neighborhood police station in eastern Gaza City destroying three houses belonging to the Hassouna family before targeting the Khalil Al Wazir and mosque in western Gaza’s Tel Al Hawa. The next air raid was on Jabaliya’s steel plant near Abu Shbak oil where a fire was ignited.
Ten people were injured, including Nabil Abu Toaima in a shelling that targeted greenhouses in Al Qarrara Village just northeast of Khan Younis. Another Israeli bombardment of a Jabaliya club led to more injuries, as did a hit on police headquarters in Kfar Darom. The bombing of eastern Gaza City’s Al Shejaiyeh neighborhood police station killed 10 people while targeted hit on Sa’ed Sayel police barracks in Rafah led to injuries.
Prior to that Israeli forces targeted a supply of medicines, gasoline and diesel. According to Dr. Muawiya Hassanein, Director of Ambulance and Emergency, the raid killed three people and injured a large number. The medical warehouse was in Al Geneina while a store of petrol and diesel was near the police station in Rafah’s Tel Al Sultan neighborhood. A number of fires broke out. In an attack on a police station in eastern Gaza’s Shejaiyeh, a number of people were injured as the building was full.
Night before last Israeli warplanes attacked with several missiles the Shifa mosque in Gaza City adjacent to the hospital. Two people were killed and seven injured in addition to hospital emergency room windows being shattered.
The doctor added that three people were killed in a targeted air strike on eastern Gaza City’s Mansurah neighborhood. Four were injured there. Attacks on government buildings in the Al Zeitoun neighborhood and Jabaliya left four dead.
Dr. Muawiya Hassanein said that there were 15 unidentified bodies in the hospital that had been found under the rubble of a government building, stressing that 80 martyrs that arrived at the hospital are in pieces. He said that there are dozens of victims still under the rubble of the bombed police headquarters.
He noted that there was an acute shortage of medicines and first aid supplies and all treatments for surgical emergency. He appealed to Arab countries to send medicine and doctors. “The majority of the wounded are not stable enough to be transferred to any Arab country.” He appealed for helicopters to be sent after Egypt offered to open its borders to the wounded.
Metal workshops in Al Zeitoun neighborhood, Al Shejaiyeh, Sheikh Zayed and Beit Hanoun were targeted.
The bodies of the dead are in hospital corridors due to the small size of refrigeration units. Only critical injuries are being allowed to stay in the hospitals due to a severe lack of space. Moderate injuries are being quickly treated and then sent away.
As the stated reason for the Israeli attack, 80 projectiles landed outside the Gaza Strip according to Army Radio which also reported that the situation in the towns surrounding the Gaza Strip was calm. The Israelis estimate that in the past two days approximately 200 projectiles have been launched from the Strip.
The Israelis also report three light injuries yesterdays during the fall of two projectiles in Askelon.
Thirteen projectiles landed in the western Al Naqab Desert where a state of emergency was declared. A hotline is open for Israelis to deal with “trauma.” A projectile launched from Gaza landed in an Israeli’s yard in Ashdod.
The leftist Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine armed resistance wing, the National Resistance Brigades, said it launched four projectiles at the Sofa Israeli military installation and at Sderot since yesterday morning.
Hamas’ Al Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for the launches of two projectiles from Khan Younis at Ashdod.
Saraya Al Quds, the armed resistance wing of Islamic Jihad, launched two projectiles at Askelon while the Nasser Salah Addin Brigades, the armed resistance wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, fired three at Sderot.
It remains unclear whether the Israelis will use the tanks that are now surrounding the Strip, but they do continue to say that this attack is still in its early stages.
